@Ethos Evoss

It would have been better if you posted your chipset version (like HM8x) and then you could have searched the specs in Intel's database and see if it is RAID capable or not. 99% it won't.

What you can update is:
- Realtek PXE = 2.55a to 2.59 RPL
- Realtek EFI = 2.021 to 2.026
- RAID ROM = 12.5.0.1815 to 12.7/12.9/13.0/13.1 (only if your board supports RAID)
- Intel VBIOS = 2171 to 2180
- Intel GOP = 5.0.1028 to 5.0.1037

This is based on the latest 2.26 BIOS from Acer. You already have the latest Haswell microcode and some others that appear to be for Broadwell.

there is no HM PM QM etc anymore ...
chipset is called Motherboard Chipset Intel Lynx Point-LP, Intel Haswell ID9C43 model Dazzle

Probably it doesnt support .. here is chipset from HW info software

And here pick chipset wich prob. match mine laptop

Your second picture and also Intel's site contradict your first statement. Lynx Point is the codename for 8 series and the other one is probably the codename for SB. Since the hardware is new, it will take a while for softwares to fully acknowledge this. You should use latest beta versions of CPU-Z, AIDA64 or HWiNFO and check the short name of your chipset. HM86 = NO RAID, HM87/QM87 = RAID.

Recommendation: update to BIOS 2.26

Fernando,

I am having an issue that I hope you, or someone else on the forum, can help me solve.

I have 13.1.0.2030 RAIDROM (modded, of course) installed on my eVGA X58 motherboard.

TRIM has always, until recently, worked.

Now, in order to get TRIM working, as verified by trimcheck.exe, I must reflash the BIOS.

After shutting the PC down, TRIM no longer works until I flash the BIOS again.

I thought it might be the CMOS battery, but it appears to have good voltage, and all other BIOS settings are correct.

What do you suggest?

Anyone?

@ Arctucas:

Why do you think, thart you have to (re)flash the BIOS? How did you check the TRIM activity?
By the way: It is not a good idea to put any Intel RAID ROM v13 into the BIOS of an X58 mainboard. You should better use the Intel RST RAID driver/OROM combination v11.2.0.1006/11.2.0.1527.

Without knowing if it is compatible to your specific model, i found this one :

Since there is not much love for AMD users, here are some modules:

- AMD GOP 1.54.0.0.0 = GUID 48DCABDF-CE6D-465C-B832-FD1BD169F3EA
- AMD RAID EFI 1.0.0.49 = GUID C468B382-4550-4909-AD57-2496141B3F4A

- AMD RAIDXpert2-F10 6.1.1-00076 for FM2+ = GUID 50965C18-2F65-41A9-9961-BA889EA978D9
- AMD RAIDXpert2-F50 6.1.1-00076 for FM2+ = GUID 5CF6CEDE-0DED-4013-9196-F429DE361937
- 1002-1304 AMD Kaveri VBIOS 015.041.000.001.000000 = GUID 74FFE0DE-DCEC-49BF-910D-1B476A851EAF

I know I have newer modules than some of above, but I haven't yet extracted them.

I am using trimcheck.exe to test TRIM.

I can run trimcheck several times after re-booting, and it always says 'TRIM appears to be NOT WORKING'.

However, if I reflash the BIOS, it works on the first subsequent run of trimcheck.

On your advice, I will try one of the 11.x modded BIOS.

Thanks

There is no need to run the TrimCheck tool several times. TRIM is either active within the related drive resp. RAID0 array or not.
That means, that it is enough to run the TrimCheck tool once. If you get the message "TRIM appearsto be WORKING", it is confirmed, that the TRIM command passes through the SATA Controller into the related drive or RAID0 array. This result is valid forever (except you change the driver or the SATA configuration) and not just for the moment.
Remember: The TrimCheck tool is not able to detect very low TRIM activities.

You can do that, but you should not expect other TRIM test results.

Is this stuff a replacement for the AMD PCI ROMs?

Hi,
I've been reading this forum quite a a while now, trying to figure out how to update the RAID firmware of my motherboard, but I'm giving up. Therefore, I'm requesting some help please.

Asrock Z87E-ITX (64Mb AMI UEFI Legal BIOS - v2.30)
SATA1: SSD 840 EVO
SATA2-3: Raid 1 Intel 2xHDD
Driver Rapid Storage 13.0.0.1098
Actual Raid firmware 12.5.0.18015
Hardware ids: VEN_8086&DEV_2822&SUBSYS_28221849&REV_05

I've downloaded Intel RST(e) RAID ROM v13.0.0.2075, I get a bin file, but I'm unable to update the firmware using your tools from the topic BIOS Modding: Introduction and Preparations.
How do you I get a rom file out of it? You had a link to find extracted rom, but it's not working.
Then the MMTool software always says error 14. I tried UBU.bat and it says couldn't open the rom file (renaming doesn't help).
I found a bit difficult to understand the tutorial as it makes us jump from one topic to another.

Therefore, to avoid explaining everything I tried, would it be possible to tell me in detail how can I update the Intel Raid rom of my motherboard please?
I'd really appreciate some help.
Best Regards
Flo

You obviously started the BIOS modding procedure the wrong way.
You have to download the "Instant Flash" version of the BIOS v2.30 from the ASROCK support site. After having unzipped the package you will get a file named Z87EITX2.30, which easily can be modified either by doing it manually with the AMI Aptio UEFI MMTool by using >this< guide (you have to choose the "All files (*.*)" Files type option of the tool) or automaticly by using the UBU tool.
This is what I got with your BIOS running the UBU tool:

It would have been much easier for me, if all mainboards would use the same sort of BIOS and all mainboard manufacturers would offer the BIOS the same way (and not as EXE file).

Hi Fernando;
Many thanks for your reply.
Indeed, it seems I got it all wrong. I don't recall reading I had to edit my MB bios.

Anyway I used the guide to manually edit the bios with MMtool as the automatic way with UBU didn't work.
I create the new bios properly, but when I tried to update it in my bios, Asrock says "Secure Flash Check Fail" (sounds like a protection to modded bios).
Therefore, I backuped my own bios, edited it again with MMtool and it worked.

Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
