In my ASUS RVE (Win 10 x64) DRV intel_rste_5.2.2.1022
Intel(R) C600+/C220+ series chipset SATA AHCI Controller VEN_8086&DEV_8D02
Intel(R) C600+/C220+ series chipset sSATA AHCI Controller VEN_8086&DEV_8D62
Is this BIOS Modules will work with my MoBo ?
No, because your 2 on-board Intel SATA Controllers are both running in AHCI mode.
The Intel RAID BIOS modules will only be loaded and used, if the related on-board Intel SATA or sSATA Controller has been set to āRAIDā within the BIOS.

So, people, perhaps it has already been discussedā¦
Long long story super shortā¦
After researching more on the problem Iām facing, it seems mine revived bloodrage, a foxconn board with P11 (10/12/10) BIOS, has the dreaded 64KB IO/SPACE limit and thatās mean there no way to load (for the BIOS) any newer OPTION ROM for the intel RAID.
This cause issue on Windows 10 ( ICH10 chipset malfunction if somehow newest driver are installed ) and also bad performance while using the SATA board with the capability of today SSD, no 2TB RAID volume, POST failure if GPT USB are attacked on boot ETC, ETCā¦ etc,.
Board like the EVGA x58 classified (E759) and all the line recived bios update till 08/25/2011ā¦
For the EVGA BOARD the issue was fixed in 78 > 80 release, or so it seems by checking on it I presume by updating the BOOTROM code and enabling somehow the chipset access beyond the 64K of space by masking the address and adjusting the code in ACPITBL.BIN, awardext.rom and SPIFLASH.BINā¦
anyway it was patched back in 2011 on most consumer boardā¦
If someone know how to deal with these dead 128KB system bios from PHOENIX 386 AWARD, dunno like extracting\replacing the BOOTROM binary within or by knowing in specific the header and the structure.
I know that board is almost 10 year old, but the BIOS is incapable of handling any ROM greater than 64KB and thatās bother me, a lot! canāt even see it as security feature because you can do that from EFI.
To alleviate these issue, since the board, touching wood, seems solidā¦ Iām using it on UEFI (DUET) to been able to boot from the NVME drive, but, I would like to have the option to upgrade a certain legacy rom without begin bounded by this limit.
THANKS for YOUR TIME and HI!
IDEA?
@noInk :
Only the mainboard manufacturer is able to solve your problem to get a newer/bigger sized Intel RAID ROM inserted into your mainboard BIOS. The reason of this issue is not missing space within the BIOS, but a missing Option ROM loader, which is able to load bigger sized Option ROM modules while booting.
@Fernando
Yea to both! I know to look for the āAward Decompression Biosā string issue is there too much binary DOS sparsed data in it and without knowing for sure what if what Iām hesitating to swap code blindly and by large, those chip canāt sustain the read/write operation any longer LOLā¦!
For the manufacturer, letās hope! it would be a milestone.

Got it!
@noInk :
After having read your last post I know the reason for your problems: You have inserted an Intel RAID ROM version, which doesnāt support your absolutely outdated on-board Intel ICH10R SATA RAID Controller!
The latest Intel RAID ROM, which supports perfectly your ICH10R Southbridge RAID system is the v11.2.0.1527. The Intel RAID ROM modules of the v14 and v15 platform only work fine with the newest Intel chipsets.
This happens, because you are using absolutely wrong Intel RAID ROM and driver versions.
The first step to stabilize your RAID system is to ādowngradeā the Intel RAID ROM within your BIOS to v11.2.0.1527.
After having done that, you can choose the appropriate Intel RST RAID driver, which matches the Intel RAID ROM module. The best choice would be v11.2.0.1006, but I do not recommend such a ādowngradeā to a LEGACY mode Intel RST driver while running Win10 (you will get an unbootable system thereafter). My tip: Either stick with the Win10 in-box Intel RAID driver or do a fresh install of Win10 by using an OS image, which has been customized according to >this< guide.
By the way: Within the start post of >this< thread you can find the Intel RAID drivers, which I recommend to use for RAID systems with an ICH10R Southbridge.
@Fernando
Can be, dunno.
ID are the same and if Intel made the choice, they should also deal with it instead of leaving to the user a broken OS.
To me it seems someone @ Intel arbitrarily decided to leave the ICH10 3A22 (SATA/IDE/ACHI) and 2822 (RAID) out of the retail software (RST) and driver, by āforgettingā to enable some service and adding the device to the INF.
Anyway!
I matched the 14.5.0.2241 OROM with the RST 14.5.0.1081 (NUC), which seems somewhat to work since only 4 port come up (ICH10R has 6 port) within the rapid storage manager GUI of mine X58 board.
ADDEDUM: Port are polled by the iCBD ROM and also visible in space P, so it seems it just a coded config for either the driver or the RST manager itself.
I am looking to put in a BIOS mod request with bounty on one of the other sites, but wanted to get all the info ready for it before I made the post (because updating the AMD RAID stuff was part of it).
I have an ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer/3.1 board, when I load the AMD RAID Utility before boot, its information says
Driver Name: Uefi Raid Driver
Driver Rev: 1.0.0.49
Which I cannot find if thats the latest as cannot find versions anywhere!
When windows is booted it shows DEV_4393 regarding the AMD RAID device in Device Manager, is there an easy way to find out the version used to match whats listed on the front page?
Is this something thatās in the AMD RAID ROM on the front page, or something else entirely?
Bonus question/statement: performance issues VS my ASUS 990FX board, as well as things like Read Policy and Write Policyās getting changed when you boot into windows, annoying as all heck and probably why I am having performance issues and checking around for an update.
@Net7 :
That is the latest AMD EFI RAID module (according to the latest UBU tool version).
Within the start post of this thread I am offering Option ROM modules, which are only used, when the system is running in LEGACY mode.
Your RAID system is obviously running in UEFI mode and requires a matching AMD RAID EFI BIOS module. The latest is v1.0.0.49.
Interestingā¦ I might make the changes to dump the UEFI mode, the M.2 is the OS drive and is not part of the RAID, might just see about using legacy mode, I do see some updates can be done there anyway, thanks for that info Fernando!
