Been away for quite a while but logged in today to enquire about possibility of patched MDS Bios and lo and behold, there is already the bios uploaded.
Thank you so much for editing and uploading this bios back in May 2019. PS.. It works great!

hancor, thank you once again . may the freedom of this community forever be yours!

will flash v28 and report back in a few ticks..

hancor, I am happy to state that your v28 modded Bios is also running great on my Asus maximum Impact VI Board.
keeping it alive! Thanks once again for your kind help :)

Hey guys, would it be possible to get the latest modded bios with the ME neutered/nuked ?

I nuked ME in the latest official bios and my Impact VI works great, I would love to try the latest modded bios with a nuked ME if possible ( @hancor pretty please ? :D ).

I'm running a 4790k if this is important.

Minor edit to network EFI and re-uploaded latest edits are found in post #1 and #32 of this thread.

Not sure what you mean by "nuking ME" as "nuking" usually implies DESTROY WITH EXTEME PREJUDICE...

I mean i removed it from the BIOS, i.e. ran the me_cleaner python script on it (from here), the only ME related partition left is the FTPR partition and on it there are only two modules left : ROMP and BUP, everything else is removed. This is as close as possible to nuking ME and still have a functional system afaik :).

Would it be possible to get your latest edit with the ME treated with the same medicine ? :) I tried running the me_cleaner python script on your latest edit and the script says it doesn't recognize the image format.

Thank you !

Just out of interest, what type of CPU are you running?
Mine is an i7-4770K which is unlocked and able to overclock without issue.
It is possible that the overclock features are lost with microcode updates if your CPU is an i7-47XX (non-K) variant.
Intel has been known to scupper overclocking features.

I've redone the bios versions attached below: one with CPU microcode v19 (best for overclocking) and one with CPU microcode v23, as per the Maxiumus Gene you crossflashed before, the last one before Spectre/Meltdown updates. Flash and compare if you get the same behaviour as before. Please post back and report.

All the other EFI/ROM modules remain as updated in the first post.

I will try a rework, as I had some memory problems and tried a different method which resolved the memory problems.



Detect mode:


EFI ROM stock: Microcode stock:


EFI ROM update: Microcode update:


Manual MMTool NVMe insert:



Give this file a try and let us know how it works out...

Merry Christmas!

Hans

Thank you very much Hans, i works flawlessly! I can see the microcode 28 and my overclock options are back!

Thank you for keeping this old but gold motherboard up to date :)
