What's the latest VBIOS and GOP driver for Sandy Bridge (Z68)?
also for H67 pls...

AFAIK the latest VGA ROM module for Sandy/Ivy Bridge IGPs is v2158 dated 11/23/2012, for Haswell IGPs the latest is v2177 dated 07/25/2013. You can find them within the start post of >this< thread.
Regarding the GOP "Driver" modules for Intel IGPs I don't know the latest version.

EDIT: SoniX just has answered your question while I was writing my post. Thanks!

@Fernando
EFI GOP Driver iGPU
SanIvyGOP.rar 2.0.1024/3.0.1023 For Sandy/Ivy proc
HaswellGOP.rar 5.0.1034 (Thanx Pacman) For Haswell proc
I think may add to the first post?

PS More new not yet found.

SoniX has attached files to this post

@ SoniX:
Thanks for the attached EFI iGPU GOP Drivers.
Yes, I agree with your idea to present them at a better visible place.
Question:
Into the first post of which already existing or new thread shall we add them?
These are the options:

Pacman changes the title of this thread to "Intel iGPU GOP Drivers" and modifies the content of the first post.
You start a new thread titled "Intel iGPU GOP Drivers" (or similar) and put the links and some instructions regarding the replacement/insertion of these modules into the start post.
I rename >this< thread to "Actual BIOS modules (not AHCI/RAID related) and add the Intel iGPU GOP Driver files you have posted.

I would prefer the second option. What do you think?

How do you mean that? One single thread with all BIOS modules (AHCI/RAID ROM, other PCI ROM modules, SataDriver, GOP Driver, CPU MicroCode etc.)?

It is necessary to think a..

Update
Until we leave as is. This thread rename as "Intel Sandy bridge and Haswell/Ivy VBIOS differences. Testing.", to check for new versions. And audited (working) modules into this thread "Actual PCI ROM modules (not AHCI/RAID related)".

@ SoniX:

Meanwhile I have renamed and customized the start post of >this< thread and added the Intel GopDriver modules you had linked.
This evening I will add some infos regarding the replacement and insertion of the GopDriver modules. AFAIK the procedure will be the sae as with the SataDriver modules. Am I right?
Please check, if everything is ok (inclusive the download links). If not, please send me a PM.
By the way: I have renamed the original SandyBridge GopDriver module and hope, that it is correct what I have done.
Thanks again for your support.

Regards
Fernando

Thanks SoniX.
What is the metod to extract?
I tried but my MMTool crash.

MMTool crash because he meets 2 empty modules.
1) Open MMTool and Load Image
2) Delete Vol 01 Ind 00 and Vol 02:01:02 Ind 02 modules (GUID 17088572-)
3) "CPU Patch"

@Sonix or @Fernando or anyone else that may help

This is interesting :)
Thanks for the heads up on this, but I have additional questions...

I've found the GUID mentioned in the Volume 00 Index 01 and another in Volume 02:01-02 Index 02 just as like in the mentioned information for the BIOS of ASRock's Z87 Extreme9/ac for example...

Now I am curious...
I can delete them safely and then update the microcode patch?

Or do I do these steps?
1. extract them one by one starting the way down from GUID 17088572- in as-is mode or uncompressed mode?
2. delete them one by one
3. do the microcode patch update (Haswell rev 12)
4. then re-insert the previously deleted with the extracted modules

Or can I just go on after I deleted the empty modules with the GUID and leave them out subsequently?
Does it harm the UEFI BIOS in any way if you leave them out...?

In other words how can I re-insert the previously deleted empty gaps (GUID 17088572-) at the same location again, without any trouble/huge work?
Please elaborate, if you can...

You know it is a lot of work to extract them (especially in the main Volume 02:01-02 in my case) first, as you have to do them in order to get them back later in same order.
Thanks again on your help on this...

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

Since I am not an expert regarding your topic, I hope, that you will get an answer from SoniX or Pacman.

@mindwarper
My Maximus VI Gene, only has one instance of the 17088572 module, Vol. 04 ind. 02, i just delete it, then insert the new microcode and delete the old revision.
I don't Think there is any need to re-insert those modules.

There is also a new microcode, rev. 16. For Haswell Only.

Here is the bin file, if you want.

@Pacman

Thanks for the update and the information about that you actually leave the empty gap module out after updating the microcode

But I feel to re-insert them would be a good idea, but then in deed they get re-inserted at the bottom of the Volume....as you cannot specify the Index
Better yet is to get them re-inserted at their original location... But again I would like that to be not as much work as I think it is now... There has to be a solution that does not imply that much tedious work...
But nevertheless thanks for your info!

I successfully replaced the microcode update (16) in a Sabertooth Z87 bios (1405).

MMTool didn't show the microcode patches in the cpu patch tab, until I removed said module (17088572).

Flashed and all working now.
