Why do you guys use ufile and not mediafire. Ufile always archives these files and then no one can download them mediafire seems to work for years.............
Did u include rst module can u still do that and what about mei module..... I dont think ur using the latest one......... Still the system is faster with ur bios but no one else can download it now because ufile already archived ur bios you guys use some very bad file sharing sites on this forum other older motherboards they are using ufile as well. Im studying this all myself anyway so I can do this all myself looks fairly simple to do but takes a lot of research to learn it all but the guides exist now which they didnt years ago when I tried to look into bios editing so thats nice. Mei driver and module does provide some nvme performance boost fernando has posted benches in his guides so there is a reason to look into it.
