I know, we already discussed this. They did not add it, they only enabled it it's in all BIOS you have sent me, remember, there was no specific module for ASR SE to swap (ASR Means Asrock, many modules have this moniker in the BIOS)
Did you check the SE'd raw disk in hex, was it entirely FF after erase? Or, are you saying "It works" because you "Saw it erasing" ie "Simulated" It probably does work, but I would check for sure via raw disk view with hex editor.
And my thought still applies, why the hell would anyone even have that as an option for such a security thing, and then even worse they leave that name in there for someone to find (I would have renamed, method 1 or 2 etc)
As mentioned, earlier too, there are many other ways to SE a disk, you do not have to do all this BIOS dancing and keep using old BIOS just to be able to SE a SSD.

@MrJack - Good news, you did not have to loose any microcode CPUID's, all are now updated and 906EC added


And, also included is 9900K ready complete mod done by Revlaay's AIO Tool (All changes noted in above files change log also apply to this BIOS)

I thought it was added because it is another "option" not where the default secure erase should be if you look at it in AMIBCP, I guess they must have enabled it. I downloaded the file you made and extracted it. What else do I need to do? What is "Z17OCF7.67ABC.sku370.ACPI.bin"? Also I want to use SE in because it saves me from having to use Linux bootable etc.. trust me it saves you a lot of time. Alot of new motherboards like Asus offer it. Its should be standard.

They simply added access (named an entry for it in tools) and enabled, it's always been there.

You can SE from DOS. I agree though, it should be standard BIOS option now.
You can also SE from windows via Hex with target disk connected as secondary, select all, fill FF = same

The BIOS you mentioned, is ready for ay of the CPU's you mentioned, nothing needs done, it's all done already by Revlaay's AIO Tool.
The other one, with stock name, is the one I did only the microcode changes to that we discussed.

Should I change its name? Also If I install it now while the 7700k is in will it install Spectre Meltdown Patches onto the CPU?

Also I could be wrong but the I think the Security Capsule wasn't removed. I did that myself.

Some boards need same BIOS name, some do not, you should know from testing BIOS if your board does. I removed the security with UBU, compared vs stock in hex after done too since you asked before about that, whatever you did after that is up to you

CPU microcode's used in both are the very latest, so yes whatever Spectre/Meltdown fixes are in them will be in-use.

Thanks King. I will try this BIOS when I get the new CPU and let you know how it goes.

Is this BIOS security capsule removed?

Run through UBU and save as "Mod_BIOSname" without making any changes, then yes it will be done. I did not check file, no need for me to download when you already have and know how to use UBU.

I ask because module to check in UBU wasn't there.

There is no module to check in UBU, open file with UBU let it do it's scans, then on choice screen exit/save, that is all
I already had this file from you previously, so I checked. After UBU no changes, I assume maybe you already edited this file (?), since you mentioned it before and asked me if I did or not on the 40x files.

Did you send me stock 51A before (date modified 10/11/18). If yes, their new security measures may be now included in that BIOS?
Possible workaround is here on page 2 [PROBLEM] Flashing a modded ASRock Z370 MB BIOS (2)

Thank you.

Hey Lost, are you aware that there is a new stepping for the 9900k (906ED = R0 Revision)?:

[GUIDE] Coffee Lake CPUs on Skylake and Kaby Lake motherboards (71)

Would it be possible to add the microcode to the last bios you posted in this thread?

Here is a BIOS the Z170M version (Z17MOCF7.51G_CFL.bin) of the board with R0 stepping along with the post for the final version of the BIOS that needs the R0 stepping:

Enabling Secure Erase in Z170 OC Formula (3)

@MrJack - sorry I missed a few of your replies here! You're welcome! and No, I didn't know there was new microcode, I don't have these CPU's so I don't keep up with such things, only when asked

What do you need done with the BIOS above, sorry, it's not very clear what you are asking.
