@pepeo - Sorry!!!

This will only be at MIT >> Miscellaneous >> In place of 3DMark01 benchmark setting, so that is the only place you need to look.
The image you posted doesn't show us anything, so no need to look there either. Are you sure you are selecting the correct BIOS when you Qflash, and not the stock BIOS?
If the BIOS is being flashed, there "should" be no way it's still 3DMark01 setting there, see image on left is stock BIOS and right is mod at this location now >>


But maybe it is flashing in properly, but the incorrect element info is still letting it show 3DMark setting instead?
There is also several other edits I made that have some things not changed in the element info that also worked (ie not broken BIOS, correct setting/help shown after change, and setting options visible, correct output when changing etc)
Maybe one of those should be the you use instead, but you seeing 3D mark in that location sounds like the BIOS isn't being flashed instead of the mod not being the correct one, because it shouldn't be possible for you to see 3Dmark there still?

Here are those three BIOS, please test, let me know which one works and then I will repack a final for this thread and remove all previous testing BIOS links so no one uses failed BIOS later.
If these three all fail too, I will send three more, that have these same changes (all are diff), but adding back one more changed byte (pageID) to what I originally set it to.

On NVME, yes, previous BIOS has it, but for now, only one of these has NVME. But don't worry about NVME until we sort the menu, then I will put NVME info final BIOS
This is because on this BIOS, inserting that without breaking the BIOS is a chore on it's own, not the usual simple insert, so I don't want to waste more time doing that on BIOS with failed menu edit
We'll save that until we get the menu edit 100% correct, then I will do NVME edit to that BIOS and post a final BIOS here in thread for you and everyone.

@Lost_N_BIOS So i tested those new 3 bios and 3Dmark still there, no hpet option. Everytime before update i set some ram and cpu clocks to see if after the flash they would have been changed to another value just to see if the flash indeed was successful and eveytime they changed, so i guess at least the mobo is flashing the bios correctly by qflash.
Thanks for the hard work again

@pepeo - You're welcome, and sorry it's still a fail!! This makes zero sense I think the BIOS is not being flashed in, or something funky going on here?
Generally, when something like this is a fail, I can see on my end, by incorrect setting shown, or blank options for the setting etc, and on BIOS end when those are tested you'd see the same, either no / missing setting, or no options for the failed setting etc.
All I've sent to you look correct, setting changed, options there, correct item changed when changing the setting itself etc. So something isn't right here, not sure if that's to do with the flashing, or the edit???!???!

I will dig out my board and sort this issue out then get back to you Sorry for all the hassle here!
Here is the three (Actually only two) additional I mentioned, if you want to test these while you wait on me to sort on my end (both NVME edited, in case they happen to be the correct ones!)

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

* Edit - @pepeo - My board is out, BIOS removed, fixed, and back up and running again
So, I'll get this sorted out on my end now, then be able to make you BIOS in few minutes after that.
Of course, my luck is, that after all that, one of the above two BIOS will get it for ya

* Edit 2 - OK, first test done, no more needed! First edit I sent you is the working one, as I suspected all along So even the one before we moved to 3DMark replacement should have been OK too.
See images below - So, something in your Qflashing initially wasn't right maybe?? Make sure you only have the mod BIOS on USB, that way there is no mix-ups when you Qflash.
But, anyway, since we've done so many BIOS here, I'm not 100% sure which one is which now, to be able to tell you which is first edit on 3DMark that would be similar to first actual edit I sent you (that I now know works)
So I will make you new BIOS and this will be the one, you just have to flash it properly with Qflash


Please wait, edit w/ BIOS incoming shortly, if you're reading this now

* Edit - Here you go, flash with Qflash, make sure only mod BIOS is on USB Stick - https://ufile.io/aztric7h
Qflash checksum will be >> 5A97h << If you do not see that before Qflash starts, then you have not selected correct file

@Lost_N_BIOS so i just found out something that made me embarassed lol. After trying this new file, on the legacy menu it indeed shows HPET, but the description still 3dmark one. On the defult bios interface on the other hand, the option isnt visible. I have attached the screens for you so you can see im not lying. I guess this only works for the legacy bios interface then, and maybe this means that all those other bios were working, just not on the regular interface that i was using lol
Thank you very much for all of this, cant believe i caused so much confusion just because this, sorry about that

@pepeo - Hmm, both places title and help info should all be correct, I may have made a mistake on yours making in a hurry last night.
I didn't even check the non-legacy UI on my end, forgot to look both ways, same as you I guess
I see same as you, still 3DMark on fancy GUI BIOS UI, but Title and Help info all correct on legacy UI! I will sort for both ways, and fix

@Lost_N_BIOS So the issue all along was just the non legacy UI? Well at least now you know the problem, sorry about all of that. Just a minor request after what i noticed now. I see that the default microcode of f11bios is v27h, is there any way of downgrading it to pre spectre/meltdown microcode? if its not possible, can i request just one more adition of upgrading it to the latest 28 (i belive) microcode? Thank you very much

@pepeo - Initially, yes it seems, but it should be changed in both places and I didn't realize that it was not, due to always using the legacy UI myself. I will sort it out now and make sure both places are correctly changed
I will also test if this legacy only first edit, despite showing 3DMark in fancy UI, still changes HPET instead, just in case making it change requires a theme edit or something silly like that.
It should not require that, since all settings are pulled from either Setup or AMITSE/SetupData (both of which we're editing here), and then changes made/saved into NVRAM, but just in case I want to see what it actually changes no matter what it's named

Yes, no problem about the microcode, we can do whatever version you want, just wait till I get the menu sorted out 100% first and then I'll do that as we wrap it up
Please clarify what CPUID you're talking about, I see Rev 25 for 306C3 in 11c BIOS. And, which do you want, pre-spectre or latest? You mentioned both, do you mean you want a final BIOS set, one each pre and latest?

@Lost_N_BIOS Oh nice, glad it all got sorted out, it was just a simple thing in the end.
About the microcode, i saw on aida64 microcode update revision 27h, didnt see it on bios, not sure where i can found it there actually lol, but yes i would preffer the pre spectre and meltdown if possible. If its not possible to downgrade it, then the latest one wich i believe its the 28, no need for the 2 versions each with one microcode

@pepeo - 11c BIOS has 25 for CPUID 306C3, I assume this is your CPU's CPUID?? If you're seeing 27, this is due to windows loading it's own microcode, you have to stop that via this method
To see what microcode is in what BIOS, you can drag/drop BIOS on MC Extractor - Downloads are in the "Releases" area, this is at the mid-right side, you want the Rar package
Extract Rar to folder and then either run MCE.exe and drop BIOS onto the CMD window, or you can directly drop BIOS onto the exe and then press enter at the CMD window after it opens.

I can make you BIOS with latest, or a pre-spectre microcode, either way / whatever you want, just let me know.
Either way is OK for me to make, once we sort this menu out

And yes, Rev 28 for 306C3 is latest, you can always find latest here - https://github.com/platomav/CPUMicrocodes/tree/master/Intel
For latest Pre-Spectre/Meltdown, for 306C3, that would be 22 >> cpu306C3_plat32_ver00000022_2017-01-27_PRD_AD518A4E.bin >> Per Post #2 >> [OFFER] Intel CPU Microcode Archives
So, I can make final BIOS with 28 or 22, whichever you want. But, if you want to use 22, you have to do the disable windows from loading it's own microcode thing I linked above.
If you want latest, then you don't have to do that because latest would be in BIOS (28) and newer than what windows is loading for you now (27)

@Lost_N_BIOS Oh got it then, didnt know windows was loading the microcode by its own. If you dont mind then, Could you make one with 22 and one with 28 then, if its not much work? Thats another thing im going to test a lot along with HPET lol, i just cant help i am addicted to benchmarking and tests.
Thanks for everything

Sure, it's no problem to make you one of each Just for the 22 version, you will have to do the disable windows from loading it's own thing.
I know the feeling, I used to do some benchmarking myself
--------------------

* Edit -
@pepeo - OK, after many days, and 35+ BIOS edits/tests later on my end, nearly 500MB of files for my board and probably near similar amount for your board/BIOS too
I have to throw in my hat on this setting swap, I still cannot make this correct in the Fancy UI. I think Id have to get into the theme area editing to change that one, and for this it's really not worth all the time, type of editing/testing that involves.
Sorry

So, this is what I can do - NVME mod would be a given in all
1. Make you a fixed BIOS like I sent recently at post #33, where you only see the HPET setting at legacy UI, w/ corrected help info/description.
I tested and confirmed that this edit is properly enable/disable HPET at save BIOS setting level by changing then dumping BIOS and checking applied NVRAM value
And then also confirmed at OS level via device manager in Win7 (HPET present or not) and by CPU-z timer change in Win10 (always remains in device manger w/ win10, this is known given).
For this I would make one each, w/ the 2x microcode changes you wanted (two BIOS total)

2. Make you a standard non-setting edited BIOS, where I hard disable HPET by default.
For this, I would make you a dual set, microcode changes x2 BIOS you wanted, one each with HPET default / HPET hard disabled and microcode 22 / 28 for each (So x4 BIOS total)

3. All of the above = 6 BIOS total to play w/ for benching

@Lost_N_BIOS Wow that was a journey hahahah, lots of edits but finally made it, youre awesome. About the options, number 1 is the best i think, for me theres no problem at all togling to legacy bios interface, and having the possibility to turn it on and off there is better i think. Its also easier for you, just 2 bios then, one with 22 and other with 28 microcode. I cant thank you enough for this and also im very sorry for all the confusion and work.

@pepeo - Yes, it's be a journey on this one! Sadly I did not make it though, not really, I gave in for now....
As I mentioned in PM though, I have this board setup beside me, and I hate letting BIOS win, so I'm sure I'll dig into the theme and see about getting it changed in the fancy UI side too.

As for #1, I thought maybe we'd get lucky and the fancy UI setting would still be the swapped HPET no matter it saying 3DMark still, but I tested and confirmed it does not change HPET at all like the proper legacy option, still only enable/disables the benchmark option.
So I'll have to find that in the theme area, since it's not being controlled by the normal BIOS settings content stuff at all like usual settings.

You're welcome! And definitely no need for you to apologize, I enjoy the challenge, and like to kick BIOS butt when I can, as I'm sure you noticed.
Sorry though from me, I lost the battle on this one, for now anyway

OK, I will make you BIOS #1 set here shortly
* Edit - Here you go - https://ufile.io/3mui3w1e
Flash from legacy Qflash too, meaning go into legacy UI, then hit F8 to Qflash
Just in case something isn't writing in properly from the fancy UI Qflash

@Lost_N_BIOS Thank you very much, just tested those two and they work flawlessly. Dont worry about the graphical UI settings, i dont mind using the legacy one, its exactly the same minus the wallpaper lol. I tested the HPET option and its working, im using a very tweaked windows 10 and i think i just got the world record for lower dpc latency for w10 2004 lol. The microcodes and windows registry setting also work great, now i have lots of testing to do comparing performance lol.

@pepeo - You're welcome! You can change some stuff in the fancy UI that you can't change in the legacy one.
You don't have to "use" the legacy once, just F2 to go in there when you want to change HPET and then F2 once your done to go back to the fancy UI, the setting will remain changed

Great to hear the new BIOS has helped your in your benchmarks and testing etc, very nice to know!!
