What do you mean, "you've been flashing your BIOS"??? No flashing is needed here, other than the dumps we edit..... So not sure what you're meaning there?
Also, sorry, I am not sure what you are talking about, or asking, with the attached image and "Intel Info" That is just ME System tools >> Flash programming tools folder - Not sure what you are talking about "It looks Legit and right model" etc?
No, I don't need manual

I checked, none of the mod changes are there, only stock! So, lets try this instead and see if same or diff outcome
FPTw.exe -a 0x452000 -l 0x52D000 -d MainDXE.bin

Dump that ^^ and send to me.

@Lost_N_BIOS - ohhhhhh....hahahaha! ok. Then never mind all that

Anyway, I attached below what you asked for.
-------------------
Sorry for the late reply, btw. I was sick these past few of days.

@Enab - Good to see you are feeling better now! Never a rush here, so no worries
Here, flash this back via >> FPTw.exe -a 0x452000 -l 0x52D000 -d MainDXEMod.bin << This was dump command, instead of flash, sorry!

And show me image of this flash happening, so I can see what all is written, thanks
Then reboot to BIOS, load optimized defaults, save and reboot back to BIOS and then see if all menu same still.

@Lost_N_BIOS - Thank you. For a while there I was afraid it was the rona. But my test turned negative so I was just happy it was something else.

Anyhoo, I flashed back what you sent and rebooted. Well, there was something new this time. Upon opening it was making me choose - Load Previous Values - Yes/No. Initially I answered "no," then loaded optimized defaults, saved then rebooted back to BIOS, only to be met with the same option of loading the previous values again. I answered "no" again and just saved then exited. During the whole process, the BIOS remained the same.

Thinking that maybe "no" was wrong, I re-flashed the BIOS (I think that was why the overwrite warning was shown) and did the whole process again. But this time I answered "yes" to loading previous values, then loaded optimized defaults, saved then rebooted back to BIOS. The same load previous values option appeared again and I just answered "no," saved it then exited. Again, no changes to the BIOS.

@Enab - Yes, I would be worried like that too if I was to get any kind of slight cold now, scary stuff!! Good to hear you are OK and it was not that!!

No, you did correct, you want to load optimized defaults and reboot. If by some glitch that's causing some issue, you can try, but generally that just means "apply same settings you set before"

Ohh! I see issue, very sorry! Please download that file I posted for you again, delete whatever you have in your folder!!
I wrote command for you above to dump (-D) file instead of write/flash (-F), so you just dumped current file again and wrote over the one I sent you (and nothing was flashed)
Download file again at #483, and flash it in using this command, show me image of what happens with FPT >> FPTw.exe -a 0x452000 -l 0x52D000 -f MainDXEMod.bin

@Lost_N_BIOS - woohoo! Ya did it man! It's already nice and changed.

Questions: I cannot locate the RGB control that you were referring to. May you point it out, please? Also, I just want to set XMP "on" for my RAM. Would really appreciate to be pointed in the right direction, as well.

--------------------

I forgot to upload the pic due to my excitement. Sorry.

@Enab - Sorry for the delayed reply! Nice, looks like we beat it finally! So, you have unlocked menu now correct? RGB? Ohh, maybe you mean Light Effect, check root of original old Advanced, it should be there.
XMP will be at New Advanced >> OverClocking Performance Menu >> Memory Overclocking Menu >> Memory Profile. XMP will only show up if your memory has XMP profile

@Lost_N_BIOS - I found it. Thank you man!

@Lost_N_BIOS, I've been searching how to unlock such feature like FIVR so i found this forum, i had this unit machenike f117 v65, can you help me to unlock the bios? what application do i need? Because the undervolting in the throttlestop is locked and my laptop is building too much heat. Im using win10 ver2004 my laptop was affected on the recent microcode update . Need yourprofessional opinion thanks.

@Frixx - Please send me images of your BIOS advanced page top to bottom + one of Boot page too, put all this in a single zip (images + file from below)
Then do as you see in spoiler and let me know what error if any you get at step #2. I suggest you reset to default any changes you made with throttlestop and or XTU, then uninstall them, if you plan to make similar/same changes in BIOS

Hi @Lost_N_BIOS

Thanks for your kind assistance, I'd like just to disable the CFG lock on the CPU.

@Frixx - You're welcome! Are you needing to run MAC/OSX? If yes, then you'll also want MSR 0xE2 edit correct? Sometimes BIOS setting for this does not always disable everything
What error did you get at step #2? Also, missing BIOS images of Advanced page (Root) from top to bottom, and Boot Page. Does your system have RGB Keyboard LED or only white?

Are you needing to run MAC/OSX? No
Sometimes BIOS setting for this does not always disable everything
What error did you get at step #2? None

Does your system have RGB Keyboard LED or only white? It is a RGB Keyboard

@Frixx - If you do not want to run MAC/OSX, then why disbale CFG lock? ANyway, OK, then no MSR 0xE2 edit needed, and you'll just have enable/disable CFG lock in BIOS once menu is unlocked.
Thanks for the images, but sorry, I forgot to mention, I am on limited internet, please put those images in a max compressed zip, thanks.
Also, if you know how to edit image, please resize to 800-1000 px wide, I only need to see them for a second, so don't need 2-5k image

That is only step #1 above, you need to do step #2 in spoiler and let me know if you get error or not, if so what error #
