You're welcome! Don't feel bad or worry if you are tired, I am sleeping all the time while I am here helping

Thanks for CPU model, I only asked so I could get it's CPUID (306C3, as I figured) and see which microcode you were using

Sorry, I don't know what you mean about "upgrade to 4.6"? Is this some generic BIOS overclock setting you are referring to?
If yes, it maybe just cosmetic bug in the name, you shouldn't use those anyway if this is what you mean, it would not always be same for you CPU as all others and would probably use way more voltage than necessary (Like Auto voltages, don't use that either, when overclocking)

Not sure what you mean about this either >> Intel, MS, and Giga conspiracy theory << If you meant what I said about the reasons they would try to tell you that you can't downgrade BIOS, this is common and affects all motherboard brands.
They found out how to overclock non-overclockable CPU's (Non-K OC, and Non-Z OC) and Intel got mad, so they had to remove possible methods in later BIOS

Fernando told me V14 OK to try for Z97

Yes, usually higher is better, but not always Fernando does a lot of testing in that area, he's probably compared V13 to V14 before, you'll have to look around and see.

Thanks for the images, I thought that may be what it was. I'll look in BIOS and see if that is just a cosmetic mistake, or if the profile is duplicated, or what's really going on there (I'll compare both and see)
That's probably already corrected in some beta BIOS after F8, but I've never looked for newer BIOS than F8. I'll look into that for you later today too.

Well, I know there is no new/recent beta, but maybe some old beta made long after F8 final was done. I will check it out.
I have answer I needed about ME FW disable for 9.1 ME FW, so I will finish those BIOS for you tonight! I never had USB 3 problems on any GA-Z97 boards, even Gaming 7 and GT, can't remember about UD7 but they all have same controller on them
I hated Win8, but did use it for a while with those board, but never Win10, hate it too much. Back on Win7 now, couldn't be happier, and I like new stuff, Win10 is too creepy for me (Too much privacy invasion and lack of user control over stuff).

Generally great news!!!

@Lost_N_BIOS
Hi, tell me what is the prognosis? Is there some problems I guess...

@PitKoz - Sorry for delays, I was checking in PM w/ Plutomaniac some things about doing the ME FW disable, and rebuilding with FITc, to be sure I didn't give you a bricked BIOS.
When you flash BIOS with Qflash, are you asked if you want Full or Intact BIOS Update, or Quick update? If yes, then you can flash the file I send you with Qflash, just be sure to choose Full/Intact so ME gets programmed in too.
If Qflash does not ask you that on this model, you'll have to flash via FPT and do a -greset. Please let me know about this, and then I will package BIOS for you with best instructions for you to flash so it all goes smoothly.

I hope same, I really appreciate your efforts, so when you will finish give me detailed instruction and link to the proper flash program = Qflash?
Isn't it the BIOS inbuild option for start MoBo? seems it is Q-Flash <end> or from <F8> during post, am I right?

Yes, please test flashing a stock BIOS with Qflash (built in BIOS flashing tool), and tell me if it asks you what I mentioned above or not.
To get to Qflash, as you mentioned, press END at bootup, instead of DEL to enter BIOS, or while you are already in BIOS you can press F8

Sure thing, so now I am waiting "only" for files, right?

Now, I am waiting for you to reply to me about what is shown to you in Qflash when you update the BIOS there, do you get asked if you want to update BIOS with Intact or Full, or quick/partial.
To find this out, you need to flash stock BIOS in Qflash, then tell me if it gives you any choices like that or not. If it doesn't, then you will have to update at least the ME portion via FPT

OK, I am on it now.

[[File:F8 or end BIOS Q-Flash1.rar]][[File:F8 or end BIOS Q-Flash1.rar]]

basically, I did test F8 from within Bios setup and <End> during post-Q-Flash, both updating have no optional choices and update full *.rom
