@ asto

Support for AMD on Aptio 5 will be, but unfortunately not complete. The problem is in MMTool, which does not work correctly with GUID A032.

@SoniX
Thanks for your reply! But I still wonder why CodeRush's UEFITool can't replace MMTool? Is it lacking of some critical functions?

I have been trying to modify with the UBU Tool the BIOS for my motherboard AsRock Z270 Extreme 4, so I can put the latest RAID module inside (15.7.0.3054). What happens though, is that it only manages to modify EFI IRST RAID for SATA, but OROM IRST RAID for SATA always stays the old version (15.5.0.2875). So at the end I get this:

1 - Intel RST(e) OROM and EFI SataDriver
OROM IRST RAID for SATA - 15.5.0.2875
EFI IRST RAID for SATA - 15.7.0.3054
EFI AMI NVME Driver present

I flashed the BIOS with this, but then the RAID config doesn't want to appear in the UEFI at all. Any ideas?

Thank you!

@bobypf:
Your post has been moved by me into the correct thread (the other one has been designed just for SoniX's announcements of a new/updated UBU version).

It has been clearly stated very often and within the start post of >this< thread, that the UBU tool will not update any (LEGACY mode) Option ROM module of Aptio V BIOSes like yours. Reason: AMI's Aptio V UEFI MMTool doesn't work properly while executing such tasks.

The "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" setting options only will appear after having done the following settings within the BIOS:
1. Within the "Storage Configuration" section the on-board Intel SATA RAID Controller has to be set to "RAID" mode.
2. Within the "BOOT" section you have to make sure, that booting in UEFI mode is enabled (no Option ROM priority should be selected).

These two settings are turned on in the UEFI but I still don't see the Storage Configuration option. Also, if I boot up Windows, after Rapid Storage Technology Utility loads, it says that my RAID1 array is not compatible with the current configuration.

Which "Intel Rapid Storage Technology Utility" (the Option ROM or the EFI one) and which version is loaded while booting?
With which Intel RAID Utility version did you create the RAID1 array?

You can see the exact versions in my first post above. After the modification it looks like this:
1 - Intel RST(e) OROM and EFI SataDriver
OROM IRST RAID for SATA - 15.5.0.2875
EFI IRST RAID for SATA - 15.7.0.3054
EFI AMI NVME Driver present

Well, it was created before long time ago. I don't know which version I used. So far every subsequent version worked without any problems.

@bobypf:
I didn't ask you, which Intel RAID modules are currently within your mainboard BIOS, but wanted to know, which of them (the RAID ROM or the EFI RaidDriver) is loaded while booting.
Another question: Why did you update the Intel EFI RaidDriver to a v15.7 series module at all? According to my own experience the v15.5 series Intel RST driver/BIOS RAID module combination is by far the best for Intel RAID users with a modern Intel chipset mainboard (for details please have a look into chapter D of >this< post).

This is a very good question.

1. I started getting some very annoying errors in the Even Viewer saying "Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued." after which my computer hanged and then I experienced corruption in my RAID1 array. Therefore, I wanted to make sure that I run the latest ROM and drivers;
2. I am IT professional and my hands are itching to run the latest version of everything. :)

I hope this explains. :)

But your brain should tell you, that the latest is not always the best choice.

so i stumbled over this,

A warning advisory has gone out on Debian mailing lists claiming that Skylake and Kaby Lake processors may "dangerously misbehave" when Hyper-Threading is enabled: the writer advises that users should disable the feature immediately in their BIOS/UEFI to work around the problem. The defect can potentially affect any operating system (it is not restricted to Debian and other Linux-based systems).

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/06/msg00308.html

what do you make of this ?

Just update the microcode if you have a SKL or KBL system. For KBL they are talking about 0x48 which is from November 2016, very old, makes sense to not have the fix implemented.

I have used the UBU tool to update the latest bios released (F20) for my GA-X79-UD3 rev 1.0 motherboard.
With the original bios i could not use Ivy Bridge-EP processors https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-...-10#support-cpu
Can i use them with the modded bios ? Would like to use the e5-2660 v2

thanks for the reply.
Is that advisable ? Never crossed my mind to flash a rev 1.0 board with a rev 1.1 bios.
Does that even work ?
