OK, I can do the single setting addition, but you will need to pick something you don't care to loose access to so I can replace it. This can be in any menu, but ideally pick something in proper location if you can, but it really doesn't matter.
And if I see something better than that as a choice, that's hidden from you now, I will let you know before I do anything

On the ME FW, as I mentioned, I can make you ME FW that is disabled, but then you can't go back to enabled ME FW unless you later get a flash programmer or do the pinmod and unlock FD (Or you get luck and USB Flashback updates your ME FW from file, but that is rare)

Yes, thanks for the summary again, we can do all that + ME FW too if you wanted. BIOS 2102 or 2203

@jeffrds - Doesn't look like he ever got back to me. See page 2 again, last few posts, about Memory Remap.
This is non-ideal edit, it's enabled by default, if you need it disabled I can do that, but I don't want to put many hours into making a single setting visible when I can just disable it if that's all you need.
Rest is not an issue

Wow, @Lost_N_BIOS, That was fast!

Ok, let's ditch whatever is unpractical for you, let's keep it simple and straight to the point. Don't wanna waste your time, either.

I'm on the latest bios version (2301)

-HPET option, TCO Timer and IOAPIC 24-119
-CPU Microcode without Meltdown & Spectre patches (patch rev 70, if I recall correctly. Mine currently states "Patch CC")
-Xhci hand-off
-CPU SMM Enhancement (all options about it)

Forget the memory remap thing. If it is already enabled by default, there is no point.
Question: Is the usb bios flashback process enough to roll back the microcode to a before-specter-state?

Thank you in advance.

@jeffrds - Thanks! Yes, it's much easier to set a single setting exactly to what you want than spend hours to swap that setting in place of something else.
And yes, as mentioned previously to the other user, memory remap is enabled by default, so no need to make it visible unless you wanted to disable, and if that was the case then that's what I mean and I could simply disable for you in a few minutes vs hours to make it visible via swap with another setting.

-HPET option, TCO Timer and IOAPIC 24-119-------------
-CPU Microcode without Meltdown & Spectre patches for fully CPU performance----------- THESE ARE DONE << As you mentioned, this already done in previous edit.

So you need further edit to make following visible, correct?
-Xhci hand-off
-CPU SMM Enhancement (all options about it) << Please explain "all options about it" I don't know what all is "about it" you need to tell me specifically what you want visible.


Ohh, wait, you need all edits redone on different BIOS (2301, previous was 2102)!!
Is your CPU's CPUID 906EA? if yes, it will be rev 70 for the latest non-spectre/meltdown

So you need mod 2301 >>
HPET option, TCO Timer, IOAPIC 24-119, Xhci hand-off, and CPU SMM Enhancement made visible.
906EA Rev 70 - And yes, USB Flashback will put whatever microcode in there that we put in BIOS, but you will need to stop windows from loading it's own

I see what you mean now on CPU SMM. Please show me images, in zip, all ALL contents you can see inside Advanced >> CPU Config >> ALL in here and any submenu you see in there.

You're welcome!

@Lost_N_BIOS Hello! Thank you for your reply.

1- Yes. 8600k-906EA
2- Screenshots of Advanced / CPU Conf included
3- Yes, I'm already on the latest stock bios 2301. So, if you can, use that one to mod over.

Anything else you need to know or any other screenshot, feel free to ask.
Thank you again!

------------------------

@Lost_N_BIOS is there anything else that you need for the bios? Any other screenshot?
I imagine that you are very busy with all the requests here in the forum, I hope I’m not being a nuisance.
Best regards

@jeffrds - Thanks, and no worries, I was actually working on your BIOS as you typed in that last reply I merged above
Yes, always busy and buried, I try my best to keep up but still always, I can never keep up and...
Here you go, flash via USB Flashback, and let me know if anything still missing that you wanted

@Lost_N_BIOS Wow thank you so much.
I'm at work right now, but as soon as I get home, I'll try the bios and report back to you!

@jeffrds - You're welcome!!

@Lost_N_BIOS Thank you so much for your effort.
Modded 2301 Bios working nicely with rev70 microcode and all custom options, fully stable!

Flawless Work! You’re awesome!
Best regards!

@jeffrds - You're welcome, and thank you too!! Great to hear all is working smoothly, thanks you for the quick test and report back!
So, all options you wanted visible correct? If yes, great

@redf0x - Yes, I can do the BIOS mods for the Wifi version too, and that would be much more ideal than flashing you over to the non-Wifi BIOS.
Since this model does not have USB Flashback, please update to the BIOS version you want me to edit, then load optimal defaults and save/apply/reboot back to BIOS.
Then make sure secure boot is disabled for a bit, no BIOS password is set, Disable TPM/Encyrption if enabled, and then do below, step #1 only and send me the file Never mind, FPT stuff removed below, I missed the flashback in specs, none of this hassle for you!

Also, just so it's clear to me exactly what you want, please copy/paste from previous pages and put info below on exact edit you need, and feel free to add to/remove any other edits you want

Thank you for the kind words and appreciation too, I really appreciate it, means a lot, thank you!!
Of course, I'll also very much appreciate anything you send my way as well, thanks it's very Info sent in PM

@redf0x - What is your CPU model and SSPEC/stepping, show me HWINFO64 image like below if you are not sure of SSPEC
That way I can get latest non-spectre/meltdown for your CPU (If there is one) - I assume you wanted this, not latest microcode, correct?

Yes, please for the latest non-spectre/meltdown. Here is the info you requested:



edit: my mouse cursor is in the middle of the CC

@redf0x - Thanks, so it is exact spec and request as last poster, even down to CPU, except WIFI
Will try to wrap this up shortly! Can you already see the following "Submenus" inside Advanced >> CPU Config, USB Config & PCH Config>>PCI Express Configuration

@Lost_N_BIOS - Yes, I can see all of those submenus already in the bios
