@senso:
It was no problem for me to update the Intel RST RAID ROM and EFI SataDriver modules of your uploaded BIOS by using the latest UBU tool v1.69.15.1 with the MMTool v5.0.0.7.
Here are the related pictures:

I think so, I', using the MMTool from the crutch zip.

The zip files are:
UBU_v1_69_15
UBU_v1_69_Crutch2

Can you confirm that the resulting file remains at 3MB?

Thanks.

@senso:
If you want to modify your BIOS with the intention to flash it later on, you should use an "official" UBU version and not a test variant. Please look into the start post of >this< thread. Do you find there anything about a "Crutch" variant of the UBU tool?

Yes, the modded BIOS has a size of 3.072 KB.

Gigabyte has just published a new beta F3c for x299 Gaming 7 Pro mobo, which contains the latest microcodes, including the most important 43 to protect against vulnerabilities avoiding weird behaviours and improving the performance.

I opened the bios with UBU and we can see it comes with the same microcodes, all updated:

I have seen a better overall performance over microcode 3C (Beta F3b).

@Sonix,

In reference to posts# 3692, 3693, and 3703 please can you confirm me this modded BIOS is flashable and will work for any coffelake 'standard' cpu without problem ?

If I understand the original ASUS BIOS does support 12 cpus including engineering samples and the modded BIOS does now support exclusively 8 official cpu versions with the most up to date Microcode versions.

I am surprise to get only 2 "Update Microcode Patch ...OK" messages.
Does it mean UBU updated µC for 2 "standard" CPUs only in my case ?

ASUS Sabertooth X99/USB 3.1, W10 x64 21H2 NVMe i750, BIOS v4101, CPU Intel i7 5930K, 32GB DDR4, Asus GTX 1660TI 6GB DDR6
ASUS PRIME Z390M-Plus W11 x64 21H2 22000.194 NVMe 970 , BIOS v3004, 16GB DDR4, CPUs: Intel i3-8100 (4 cores) +UHD 630, i5-9400F (6 cores) +GTX 980.

The crutch file comes from the developer link that is supplied on that link, I think it can't be more "official" than that, I would say, I used that file specifically to make sure I got a know good file, and not some random crapware from the internet given that AMI doesn't allow the download of the program anymore.
OK, this is idiotic..

MMTool not patched wont work with Aptio 4 BIOS and UBU barfs and dies saying that CSMCore is corrupt.
The only download for the patched MMTool is the Crutch named zip on the so called dev repo, that you say that is not official.
That patched version barfs with a Saving secure rom as unsigned, either someone can point me to the correct MMTool or I'm gonna nuke all my HDD's because I'm not really confident the dev repo is not spreading malware.....

Do you always download and execute all files you can find, when you click onto a download link?

That is nonsense. The official (not patched) MMTool v5.0.0.7 works fine with your mainboard BIOS. As you know, I have tested it and everything worked fine!

No, I'm very reticent to download files from a .ru address, the only reason I trust that .ru is because YOU posted it in the front page of the UBU topic:
[Tool Guide+News] "UEFI BIOS Updater" (UBU)

There is THIS link:
Download the latest version of the "UBU" tool from >here< (developer's link), the here is this thing:
http://www.smartredirect.de/redir/clickG...r-quot-UBU.html

Are you saying that the link that states that is the dev link is not a safe one?
If not, why is it being displayed on the first page?

I have already tried MMTool from 4.5 to modded one, no version of MMTool produces a valid file, I have already used UBU for a lot of BIOS files, never had any problem.

No, the link to SoniX's russian hoster is safe, but not all UBU test versions may properly work with all mainboard BIOSes.

It is up to SoniX , what he uploads to his hoster.
