I created this firmware to help premium the board up a bit and give it some more flexibility. The board isn't too bad but can certainly stand to benefit from some improvements, as always I've made every effort to make sure this firmware won't brick any boards but be sure to have a method ready to flash back to the default firmware just in case.

Known Issues

None.

This section relates to issues with the stock firmware.

How to Flash

Place firmware on a USB stick, enter UEFI and flash with Instant Update.

Notes

You will need to flash to an older stock firmware image before flashing this modded firmware this is because Instant Flash does not allow updating of firmware with the same version number. Simply put, if you are already on the stock 1.4 flash to any older firmware then flash to this modded 1.4.
