Happy new year everyone!
I have a Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5 motherboard and I have been trying to do the ff:
-Update microcode
-Enable NVME
-Unlock HPET and other options.

I found a previously modded F10 BIOS (by fernando) to enable NVME which I have attached and is also shared here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Kb-Ms32WDymdmCmAvYUENuGvdt4iBQO4/view?usp=sharing

However, I also want to update the microcode and unlock HPET and other options if possible. The bios of the MATX version of this motherboard (G1.Sniper M5) was previously unlocked (https://www.win-raid.com/t5502f44-Gigabyte-G-Sniper-M-Z-F-HPET-NVME-Mod.html) so I was hoping someone could help me with this.

This is the link to the unedited F10 BIOS: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_g1.sniper5_f10.zip

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S.
Also, is it possible to insert Broadwell microcode to the Z87 to allow use of broadwell cpus?

@Ebby - Do you still need? If yes, do you want me to use Fernando's mod BIOS to do Microcode and HPET, or edit stock one?
What "Other Options" do you need?

Broadwell is a NO, sorry, unless @bojack_max wants to clarify and or explain to me in-depth what needs edited in PEI/Memory Init etc.

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!
If you appreciate my efforts and are willing to donate to help improve my hardware, gift cards work for me (Amazn, NuEgg, eBa) - send me a PM

@bojack_max would it be possible to use a Z97 bios in a Z87 board?

Hi @Lost_N_BIOS! Thanks for your reply! Yes kindly use Fernando's version! Would it be possible to integrate SLIC 3.2 for Windows 7 as well?
