Well. Checked on Ubu 1.10.beta7. Header UBF does not break.

Last Bios Version for my ASRock H87 Pro4 is from 0IME4.08.2014 (and all the modules are outdated).
So i started with updating the INTEL ME Firmware with success.
But now i was thinking about updating rest of the modules in the hope of better performance:
- Intel VGA ROM/EFI = i use the onbord Intel Graphics of the processor (Haswell) and has some "screen goes dark for 1 sec and back on issues [only in windows, i have 2 screens, happenes to both])
- Intel LAN PXE ROM = couldn't hurt updating (maybe just better compatibility and better power usage profiles?!?)
- Intel CPU MicroCode = maybe better performance and/or better usage of the C states and so on?!?
- Intel RAID ROM = having only one SSD attached it won't help ther RAID performance for me, but maybe the AHCI performance?

Anyway: I would like to update those modules and i started with the UBU Tool and loaded my Bios into it.
As i have a Windows 8.1 UEFI installation as my system and didn't want to mess anything up, i installed Windows 7 on a Virtual Machine and used the Tool there.

First the output:


1.) Updating Processoir Code = no Errors.

2.) Updating RST ROM = Error


3.) Updating INTEL GOP/VBIOS = Error


4.) Updating LAN = Error


My Questions:
1.) this module updating, does it help with what i hope to get out of this? performance, lower power usage (even a few mili watts, etc, like described above), screen not going dark etc.
2.) What am I doing wrong

i hope someone can help me out.
thx

Thats good. i hope hear from him soon.
But would updating the other modules (like LAN ROM, but specially the Microprocessor Code & VBIOS/INTEL GOP Driver) improve anything (at least for me)?
Otherwise there is no sense at all (at least from my point of view).

I hope somehow (and with help) i can get those 3 modules updated

Unfortunately, many of the BIOS ASRock Immersed similar problem "Free space". A lot of useless pictures that can not be removed.
In your case could be partially updated with the utility UEFITool.
I would not recommend you to update the CPU microcode. Since the BIOS the microcode which allows overclocking.

OROM VBIOS update you can not just GOP Driver for UEFI mode.
If you overclock is not necessary, you can update the microcode CPU.
I really do not remember, after 7 or 9 versions, Intel has blocked the possibility of overclocking without the "K" index.

@ SoniX:
summary:

- i can not update the INTEL VGA ROM (because i have windows 8.1 UEFI installation)?
- newer CPU Micricode would not nebenfit me at all?
- LAN ROM update is useless (as i know myself)
- INTEL RST ROM update useless (if i inly use AHCI mode)

Is this the summary?

@ PKOneTwo
If you use UEFI mode, the update OROM You do not need. In UEFI mode OROM are not used.
Update LAN, you also do not need to. This is for those who loads the operating system on the network.
If you do not use RAID mode, the update IRST You also do not need to.
At the expense of CPU microcode is up to you, to update or not. But can discuss here RE:CPU Microcode BIOS modding questions/problems

Attaching a file is updated only EFI Intel GOP driver for the iGPU.
