Sorry to see! Were is the varsnewaftermod.txt, need to see this
Before I give you suggested flash programmer links for Amazon, open the bottom up and find the BIOS and give me the BIOS chip ID, so we can be sure you don't also need 1.8V adapter before you order.

* Edit - I bet here explains the memory limit, by chipset, see post #30, I bet it's something similar to this no matter what your chipset is - https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threa...f.267734/page-2

B460 boards limit ram speed to 2666MHz when paired with i5 cpus (and 2933MHz with i7/i9). To be able to run them paired with 3200 ram speed, one needs to by a Z490 board,

Sorry, forgot to attach that file: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...722589052223879
I'll see what the BIOS chip is soon.

OK, thanks! Also, see my edit above in case you missed it
I checked, and the vars changes are in there (BIOS Lock and FPRR - Flash Protected Range Registers) disabled x2 areas of BIOS settings. So this FPRR lock you're still hitting is a lock within a module and would need edited out/bypassed, it's not a BIOS setting.

* Edit - @brian105 - Here is what you need generally $10

And here is kits with the 1.8v adapter, so only $4 more, you could go ahead and grab one of these kits and not have to worry about checking chip ID until you're ready to dump the chip

Thanks! I ordered the ACEIRMC set, should be here within 5 days.

@brian105 - Good deal! Sorry I could not help to find a way around the locks without programmer, some boards this is just the only way you can do it.
I will try to find and bypass the lock in the BIOS itself, that way you wont have to use programmer in future (unless you reflash stock, or non-modified BIOS without the lock removed)
Sometimes I can find, sometimes not, but I will check and see it I can locate it

Yeah, I don't blame you, lots of OEMs lock down their hardware for no reason in particular.

And, sorry, I checked, I am not good enough in assembly to find where it's locked down
But, good thing, once you have programmer, you'll only need to program in the unlocked BIOS once

Okay, I got the programmer. Can you tell me how to flash the modified BIOS to the chip?

@brian105 - First you need to dump the chip. What is the BIOS chip ID, so I can tell you best software/version to dump the chip with?
Then I will give you link to guide with lots of images on how to setup and use, and link you to software package

Every time I write out your name I write brain105

I will look for the BIOS chip on the board soon. Will reply with its model/ID.

Actually, I might have the ID already...

Reading HSFSTS register... Flash Descriptor: Valid

--- Flash Devices Found ---
W25Q64FV ID:0xEF4017 Size: 8192KB (65536Kb)
Is this a valid ID, or is it unrelated?

@brian105 - Please look on the chip itself, FPT output is not always correct. If it is W25Q64FV, then you should use software 1.30 or 1.34 and W25Q64BV ID
Here is software package - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...213094641136166
And here is guide how to use programmer - [GUIDE] Flash BIOS with CH341A programmer

Hello, I have gotten the full name from the chip:
Winbond 25Q64JVSIQ 1715.
Is this the same as what I found before?
-----------------

Good news, the chip did read successfully and I got a dump:
http://a.tmp.ninja/pFGr7HUBmENi.bin
Tinyupload was giving me problems.

Bump, seems this got buried under a lot of new posts.

@brian105 - For W25Q64JV, use 1.30 and BV ID as well, this is update version of FV/BV
Yes, some days Tinyupload fails, sometimes it wont upload for a few days at a time too I used to think it was just them blocking me, but later learned it's same for everyone when it's failing.

What software/version did you dump the above file with? Anyway, can't download from there, blocked by malwarebytes, please upload here >> https://uploadfiles.io/

Oof yeah didn't notice that the site was sketchy, I uploaded from a different computer without Malwarebytes. I will upload the file within a few hours because I don't have access to that computer.
I dumped the .bin with one of the softwares you included in your software package link, version 1.34.
