See my edit above. You can use AFUDOS.exe or AFUDOS without exe = same/same

Ok, I'll try that this afternoon, thanks man I'll let you know how it ends

OK, good luck! See my further edits on previous post too. Unsure why FREETHY would have you using AFUDOS at all, let alone some old ES version meant for boards/BIOS from YEARS ago (Like 8+ years ago)
These boards have USB Flashback, mod BIOS can always be flashed with USB Flashback.

@Lost_N_BIOS hi I read your edits, I still have my second bios untouched, if there's a way to extract the bios I can give you that one to get IDs and stuff

@Cancretto - does your board have a BIOS switch, where you can switch from using one BIOS, to using the other instead? If yes, switch to the other and dump the BIOS region (FPTw -bios -d name.bin) and GbE (FPTw -gbe -d gbe.bin) region with FPT
If the board does not have this switch, the only way to do it would to physically switch the chips and then do as mentioned above. If you do this, order a $1 U Type Flat IC extractor on ebay first, otherwise you can easily damage the BIOS legs upon removal attempt.

@Lost_N_BIOS yeah my board has a bios switch, didn't understand exactly how to extract bios though

@Cancretto - I mentioned above how to do this. Sorry, I did assume you already knew about FPT

Check BIOS main page and see if ME FW version is shown, if not then download HWINFO64 and on the large window on left side, expand motherboard and find ME area, inside that get the ME Firmware version.
Once you have that, go to this thread and in the section "C" download the matching ME System Tools Package (ie if ME FW version = 10.x get V10 package, if 9.0-9.1 get V9.1 package, if 9.5 or above get V9.5 package etc)
Intel Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware & System Tools

Once downloaded, inside you will find Flash Programming Tool folder, and inside that a Windows or Win/Win32 folder. Select that Win folder, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (Not power shell).
At the command prompt type the following command and send me the files >>
FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin
FPTw -gbe -d gbe.bin

If you are stuck on Win10 and cannot easily get command prompt, and method I mentioned above does not work for you, here is some links that should help
Or, copy all contents from the Flash Programming Tool \ DOS folder to the root of a USB Bootable disk and do the dump from DOS (FPT.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin)

@Lost_N_BIOS hi man, thanks a lot for your help I'll try your method asap but i'm currently in the middle of a project on the pc so can't do that now. Hopefully for the next week I'll be done with that.
Have a nice day man :)

This would not interrupt your project, but if you needed to reboot or something and can't I understand, no rush on my end anyway

I am an ignorant Japanese Can you make something that can be used at 9900k?

@nihil - See these two threads, AIO Tools both can do what you need
svarmod's tool (CoffeeTime) - [GUIDE] Coffee Lake CPUs on Skylake and Kaby Lake motherboards (66)
Revlaay's AIO Tool - [TOOL] Easy automated Mod tool for Coffee Lake bios << Be sure to see first post in this one for CPU pin modding/isolation info, and or look at "Pinwork Map" image at Svarmod's tool download folder

Is it possible to get bios that FR33THY is talking about?

@nihil - you'll have to link me to what you are talking about, or tell me the post # if it's in this thread.
If you mean the one he and I discussed and modified, that is user specific for his board only, those modifications also have nothing to do with what you originally asked about (that was only mod about HPET Disabling).

You will need a z390 apex bios with flashing microcode, removing Specter and meltdown patches, unlocking the HPET option, and unlocking the Intel Management Engine Interface option.

His bios unlocks hpet and tco timers, should change also cpu microcode with a pre Spectre patch one, should be an old one before January 2018, but this isn't working for me.

Also thanks lost_n_bios for your help and for waiting, if nothing goes wrong I should be ready to mess around with bios again in a couple of days
