Seems that i have a problem using UBU for my bios (Maximus Hero VII Z97)

I just wanted to change the Intel RST to match my drivers but when i flash the modded bios through flashback usb, it forces my GPU to PCI-E 2.0 instead of 3.0.

Its so weird cause i dont think it would even affect the pci-e. But for sure it is since i flashed 3-4 times between modded and original without making any changes in BIOS it forces the PCI-E to be 2.0

Any ideas?


Ok i solve it :)

Dunno why but in original if you went to Advanced - System Agent Configuration - NB PCI-E Configuration it was set to AUTO and was working..

In modded you have to manual set it to Gen3 so it locks to that.

Hi Fernando,

It's been a while. :)

Anyways, I have a build a new PC and finally got to installing everything yesterday. Did a test run to see if my new build booted up (no DOA's).

The motherboard is an Asus X99-E WS. I would like to update it's OROM's where possible.
Any advice on which OROM's I should use? Can I use the latest versions on all OROM's? - update: I ran the update for latest versions for all available OROM's (and which were possible obviously).

I also checked the ME version (ME Analyzer within UBU), but it seems kinda outdated.
Version: 9.1.10.1005
Date: 13/06/2014
FITC Ver: 9.1.10.1000

Update
I downloaded "Intel MEI Drivers & Software v11.0.0.1177 for Consumer systems complete package (1.5MB)" and "Intel ME 9.1 Consumer 1.5MB Firmware v9.1.37.1002"
Based on the information posted in the MEI forum thread, I think these are the correct files, right?

Also I am using an Samsung Pro 512 GB NVMe M.2 drive (kinda weird having no SATA cables anymore). UBU will update the NVMe OROM as well, right?

One final question; the Asus X99-E WS motherboard also features two PLX PEX8747 chips (which enables to you run more than 5 PCIe lanes at max speed)
Is it possible to update this OROM as well? I doubt it though.

As always, thank you for taking the time to answer.


Sidenote 1: I didn't have much time yesterday, but I wanted to do a quick install of Windows 10. But it couldn't find the Samsung Pro 512 GB drive (M.2) to install it on (though it was detected in the BIOS).
The Windows 10 setup asked for a driver. Now I found the NVMe driver page on your forum. Do I just use the Samsung (pure) NVMe drivers and put it on a USB stick and install them?

Sidenote 2: Though the Samsung Pro 512 GB was detected as "storage" in the BIOS, the page with NVMe settings was blank? As in not displaying anything. Is this normal?

Thanks for responding and for the detailed answers Fernando. :)

Weird, because the Windows 10 setup did ask for a driver it seems. But I will try again this evening; maybe I overlooked something somewhere. It was late and was in a hurry.
Just wanted to see if nothing was DOA. ;)

Yeah, I did create the Windows 10 bootable USB stick with Rufus and selected GPT scheme. 100% sure.

The Asus X99-E WS has a submenu somewhere called NVMe. I don't recall where. Will take a picture when I get back home. It just didn't have any options.
If I recall correctly; it said something like "NVMe Configuration" or similiar. It wasn't under storage either though.

But, like I said it was detected in the BIOS somewhere (don't recall where though), but also located on the right side, similar to your screenshot.
I disabled all other SATA/SATA Express/RAID options and/or ports, since I don't use those at all anymore.

Anyways thanks again for the answers. Will report back this evening or tomorrow (=more time).

I'm trying to replace my stock Pentium B960 CPU with an i7 3632qm. In order to make the CPU compatible, I flashed a modified BIOS with an injected CPU microcode that corresponds to the New CPU. After installing the new CPU, my screen is blank. No HDD activity, nothing. So I went back to the stock processor, keeping the modified bios, and everything is fine. I'm starting to think that my laptop needs an updated vbios to work. Where can I find the vbios?

Fixed and reupload.

Also,seems is some bug with UBU 1.49.0 ,updating IRSTe/SCU ROM's (X79 system).
UBU 1.47.1 (and previous) is OK.

Thank you so much. Ive been modding and flashing bioses all weekend long.
