@Dams7 - Awesome to hear it, you're welcomeand thanks for quick testing and report back! Yes, that has the 11.6.0.1702 RAID ROM w/ TRIM Mod using CPL0 method.

I will repackage it now with change log and more info, images of the RAID ROM/TRIM mod change etc

* Edit - @Dams7 - thread merged with other similar thread, here is repackaged final BIOS (Same you already flashed in), with change log and info etc

10676 - 0,2.4,6,7
1067A - 0,2,4,5,6,7
Some other microcodes are updated to latest as well, see image for which are latest = Yes

@Lost_N_BIOS

Thank you very much for your great job !

After a few days of use, i confirm that this bios mod works like a charm !

@Dams7 - thanks for update/report back - great to hear all is working well!

Hi!
Can I use this modified bios with GIGABYTE P35C-DS3R and Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600?
In case the answer is yes, do I need to update microcodes first or some other previous step or I go directly to bios and use Q-flash for the flashing of this bios?
Will I be able to use hard drives bigger than 2 TB after the flashing?
Can this be considered the latest bios for my motherboard?
Thanks a lot!

@calvintrex - Yes, all original microcodes remain in place (I think), but I looked at the image, Q6600 microcode remains (not updated to latest though).
You can use BIOS as it is now if you want, or I can update the microcodes for you (not sure why I didn't update them all last edit?!) Yes, this is latest beta BIOS (modified), probably the last BIOS Gigabyte would ever release for this board

On the 2TB question, I am not 100% sure, but I think so based on what I said back on post #66, I assume I looked this up back then. If you want to be sure check google to see what orom version is needed (This user said he researched and found 10.5 or above is required)

Here, so there's no wait, this is same BIOS as above from post #76, but with all microcodes updated to latest version except 10677 (giving me pain in the rear! ), this includes all Q6600 types - 6F4 (QMAQ), 6F7 (SL9UM), 6FB (QXVD, SLACR)
Flash with Qflash, checksum should be 1200 in Qflash

Thank you so much for the quick reply and the BIOS!
I will flash this today and let you know how it went

UPDATE
All working fine, thanks!

@calvintrex - You're welcome, and thank you for the quick test and report back
