@Dnatwork - glad you found the cause and solution there, good work

I figured out why my RAID 0 Gen 4 M.2 array was giving Gen 3 speeds. It wasn't the RaidExpert2 version I updated to, it happens when I have the RAID array into two separate partitions.

If I have the entire array as one partition getting 9000+ read, 8000+ write.

@ket - Nice, I'd never seen this posted by anyone, unsuppress combo CBS option makes CBS appear?
Do you have those reversed above?? "Change To" is original, and "Eg" is post-mod - Looks backwards there

@ket - I thought maybe they were, and also I think you misunderstood what I was asking about... I think you are showing how to hide/reveal a single setting in any given example/instance
But what I was talking about is the PBS/CBS menu themselves, when not visible AT ALL, how to make visible. Making a hidden setting visible, in a completely hidden menu wont help anything as far as I've ever seen, menu will still be hidden.
I suspected this may be the case when you posted some single setting reveal, I already know many ways to do that, it's not what I was referring to all along

Nah the CBS/PBS menu itself in a lot of cases is suppressed in the corresponding files, remove the suppression of the main CBS/PBS menu item in those files and it exposes it and any unsuppressed options within it. There are 2-3 different ways to do this though as some manufacturers do it differently, Asus for instance do it differently vs Asrock or GB.

Is it right:

when I make a backup with:

FPTW64.exe -D full.bin
 

than must flash with

FPTW64.exe -F full.bin
 

and when I make a backup with

FPTW64.exe -D BIOS.bin -BIOS
 

, than I must flash with

FPTW64.exe -f BIOS.bin -BIOS
 

- Right?

I think my BIOS is brocken, because the original BIOS is 16MByte. The full backup is 16MByte, but the BIOS backup only (FPTW64.exe -D backup.bin -BIOS) is 12MByte. And I have flashed the 12MByte with FPTW64.exe -D back.bin - I forget -BIOS at the end! Right?

@mouseT447

-GBE - work only with the Region GBE (Intel LAN only)
-DESC - work only with the Region DESC (Descriptor)
-ME - work only with the Region ME (FW ME)
-BIOS - work only with the Region BIOS (BIOS itself)
Each region has its own size,
If you want to reflash everything, then the arguments are not used. And so, we mainly work with the BIOS Region.

Now it works. I'm so happy. Thx.

@ket - I'll have to test that and see how it works out, I've never seen such things possible, but I've not tried much since I mainly get Intel requests.
In most cases, I find it easier/safer to unsuppress via FF the item variable directly, some BIOS freeze or brick if you move stuff around, so I tend to go with FF as safer for all users.
I will test on Asus ROG-STRIX-X570-E-GAMING, don't have high hopes though, think we already tried and fail as expected
* Edit - Yes, never mind, already tested and fail for PBS, CBS not suppressed at all, yet no way to make it visible

In the latest post in the UBU release thread it says "In order to avoid problems with antivirus software, the next build will use the MCE.py file instead of MCE.exe."

I think it would be helpful to also mention that MCE.py can be found in any DB update in the MCExtractor repo. And for people who are beginners with python, that you can install the mentioned modules using

pip install colorama
pip install pltable
 

UBU v1.79.2.1 still ships with MCE.exe, but it seems to get deleted whenever it is used, causing errors. It works after setting up MCE.py though.

Edit: Oh it was getting deleted because Windows was flagging it as a virus, which is why UBU is switching to the Python version in the first place. Oops. Well, I still stand by the rest of what I said :)

After installing Phyton, I get the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'colorama' in UBU 1.7.3. I'm not experienced with Python...

@gpvecchi Did you try running 'python -m pip install colorama' from a cmd prompt?

[Edit] The other dependency plutomaniac mentioned is PLTable;

python -m pip install PLTable

Note: As PLTable is a fork from PrettyTable you might get the error message ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'prettyTable' if PLTable is not installed.

Installing PrettyTable will not allow MCE.py to run - you must install PLTable.

@SoniX I have python 3.8.3 installed but using UBU_v1_79_3 and selecting '5 - CPU Microcode' I get error message;

Need Python 3.7 or higher
Press any key to continue . . .

This line is causing me trouble;

set mce=mce.py

If I edit it like this it works;

set mce=py mce.py

I'm really having 0 luck with this BIOS editing stuff ...

So when I flashed the BIOS file updated by UBU my machine booted fine but the screen output was flipped upside down - wtf?

@SoniX

MCE.py instead of MCE.exe (1.9.3 vs. 1.9.2.1)? :)
