@xlegacygt - That's the one I said was your CBS at post #20
I locate the CBS/PBS by known settings inside and or known hex codes for their names >>
59 B9 63 B8 C6 0E 33 40 99 C1 8F D8 9F 04 02 22 - AMD PBS
E3 35 45 B0 04 30 46 49 9E B7 14 94 28 98 30 53 - AMD CBS

Thanks for info on PBO Often, PBS is a submenu like CBS, if none of that matches what you see in "AMD OC" section, then we may need to do different edit to make PBS appear in there, I've not looked at this for you to see if it's where it should be to be visible or not (I will check now)
I checked, and it's not there, but sorry I am not 100% sure how to add it into this BIOS to make it appear. So hopefully anything in there you may want is in other menu. If not, let me know what settings you need to change, and to what, and I will show you how to do and or give you edited files to replace (This involves in-depth NVRAM edit)

@xlegacygt - Yes, NVRAM editing is kind of tricky. This may be required here for any menu or setting you couldn't get to show up, we change it's default in the module itself, and then the current applied/in-use value in NVRAM in several different NVRAM areas
I've explained this a few times to users, but not in-depth, I really need to make a guide about it but I never have any time. If you want to try and read, maybe figure some of it out, below is links I've saved where I tried to show users a few different times
But, as mentioned, this is only necessary, if there is something in PBS that you want to change away from it's current default, that you don't also see in some other area of the BIOS.

NVRAM edit explained - Determine configurable aperture size from BIOS file
Setup and NVRAM editing here as well - [Request] Unlock advanced menu on 2019 Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-52 (5)

Be VERY careful with updating microcodes, you can brick your board if microcode edit done wrong.
These need done manually in your BIOS via extract padding, edit in hex and replace back in, unless UBU can now update microcodes in padding, not sure and from what you mention it sounds like it still cannot.
Your microcodes #1-11 are located in second padding at offset 60000h, the other four are already up to date so no need to mess with those.
If you extract this padding, then drop on MC Extractor, it will give you the exact offsets to go to for each, then just replace with new from here writing over old, since they are same size

Or, if you want, send me your current working BIOS and I will update those two old microcodes that need updated. I can do the network one too if you want?

@xlegacygt


Use version 1.79.6.3 fix.

2 mCodes are located elsewhere but are not used on these platforms.

@xlegacygt - Sometimes it helps to update modules, especially if it's ones you actually use
ie RAID, if you don't use RAID, no need to update, LAN, if you don't use Wake on LAN or Boot on LAN, no need to update, same for onboard graphics, if you don't use then no need to update

Sadly, yes, it's very common that latest BIOS do not contain latest module updates.
Various reasons for this include lazy engineers, they don't care, security reasons, module updates still in internal testing, module updates did not pass internal testing with all their scenarios, time allotted to engineers per series/BIOS (ie they may not have had time to update yet)

If UBU can do the microcode updates, then it should be OK If it fails, let me know and will update them manually for you if you need

Hello @Lost_N_BIOS! I hope all is well! I finally started messing around with the PBS menu and I had 2 images with 1 suppression on each image. I set the suppression to false on both images and it still doesn't show a PBS menu.

I do not see a QuestionID so I dont think its suppressed behind any admin/supervisor provisions.

Any ideas?

Here is a pastebin- https://pastebin.com/yYGnNeXU

Line 83 is where I changed True to False.

Here is the modded bios if you want to take a look- https://ufile.io/irujx19q

I used GUID BBB77CB9-762D-436C-AC40-8EE4901C3446 and edited both the top and bottom PE32.
