1) Do you estimate it would be safe to use on a Asus P8P67M Pro motherboard modding it's 3701 bios to add all the latest codes, especially adding the sandybridge oc-friendly microcode and the intel raid bios 13.2 with TRIM support (by changing one file)?

---

Yes, the usage of the UBU tool is very safe and yes, you can let the UBU tool insert the Intel RST(e) RAID ROM v13.2.0.2134 by changing one of the files (although I do not recommend to take any v13 RAID ROM modules for 6-Series chipsets).

2) Is there likely to be any ramification for performance or functionality of an existing raid 0 array by changing the raid bios all the way up from version 11 to version 13

---

The replacement of the Intel RAID ROM version by another better or worse matching version has an effect on the performance of a RAID system, but this effect has nothing to do with the frequency of the replacement.

3) On a P67 b3 chipset, does it make sense to try and engage with the RST drivers including the extra scsi filter component, or would it be sensible to stay with the older format driver (no filter - 11.2.0.1006) at this stage? I'm just looking for most responsive Raid0 and SSD sata6 in "raid mode". The latter would mean using a matching raid bios update with UMT into the modded bios, should I attempt to flash that.

---

As you can see >here<, the "classical" Intel RST driver/OROM combo v11.2.0.1006/v11.2.0.1527 gives Intel RAID0 users the best possible performance (even with newer Intel chipsets than your P67).

Hi Fernado,
even with the latest version (2:40), the problem is always present...
if you have a solution let me know.

---

As you can read >here<, only ASRock can help by offering a better BIOS for your mainboard.

Any reason why I can't update my VBIOS to 2180? I remember being able to do so with previous versions. I can only update the EFI ones with the latest. BIOS is for Asrock B85M Pro4.

---

AFAIK some ASRock UEFI BIOSes have a space problem with the Option ROM modules.
Sometimes it helps, if you change the BIOS module update order.

My PC actually only support UEFI if I press F12 during booting and select the Sata drive as Legacy or UEFI by default system use "legacy" and will not boot is the OS was installed as UEFI.
question?? How to add the option of selecting the UEFI in my bios. Windows 8.1 pro in UEFI, performance is way much better with UEFI.

---

I suspect, that you haven't restored your optimized BIOS settings after having flashed the modded BIOS.
Please enter the UEFI BIOS, choose the "DEFAULT" settings and then open the section "BOOT". There you should find an option to set the "Compatibilty Support Module" (CSM) to "Disabled". After having done and saved this setting, you will automaticly boot in "clean" UEFI mode (provided, that your graphics adapter can be managed by an EFI GopDriver.

Enjoy the Forum!

It doesn't give me the option to do so anymore. UBU only gives the option to update the EFI modules.

---

Only SoniX will be able to name the reason.

does anyone have older versions of UBU? say 1.70?

---

The link is within post #873.

@ Sonix:
Thanks for having released and published the new UBU version 1.8.5!
According to your changelog you obviously have changed the procedure of updating the Intel VGA ROM (VBIOS) module version.
What was the reason for doing that?

How to update OROM VBIOS Haswell/Broadwell using UBU.
1) Extract OROM VBIOS from BIOS-file
2) Using the tool BMP (Intel® Binary Modification Program link up), the settings from the extracted OROM VBIOS to the desired version OROM VBIOS.

---

Additional remarks:
1) The extraction of Intel VGA ROM (VBIOS) from the BIOS file has to be done with the MMTool, which is part of the UBU tool package.
2) I haven't yet seen a link to the BMP tool. Where can the users get it?

@Fernando
Hello! :)
You can then tweak as in the first post?

"UBU support UEFI BIOS version Aptio IV for Intel and AMD platforms.
UEFI BIOS Aptio V is not supported. (eg on the X99 chipset motherboards), as there is no new version MMTool to work with such BIOS.
To work with the BIOS Aptio V use UEFITtool."

It's already done, although I haven't just copied and pasted your text. I hope, that what I have written is correct and ok for you.
