There are no newer Intel Sandy/Ivy Bridge VGA modules available.
They will work, but probably not as good as the v13 Series ones. For details please look >here<.
This ASMedia SATA ROM will not work with your Z77 system.
There are no Option ROM modules for WiFi cards within the mainboard BIOS.
I want to give advice if you are not using integrated graphics from Intel, the update does not unnecessarily OROM VBIOS. According to numerous test results, in most cases, improvements in the noted. And just to update, in order to have a new version, it is meaningless.
i have a z87 pro 4 mainboard from asrock and i modded it with ubu before with great success. now since a friend wants to buy my i7-4770 im thinking of buying an i7-5775C (broadwell) when its released. since you have so much more experience with modding the bios/uefi i have some questions. what would i need from uefi side to support broadwell properly?
microcode (100% i guess but ubu does not update it?)
orom vbios (the recent bios has 2166 haswell only afaik, can i use the 1038 unchanged from the other thread with ubu 1.20?)
anything else beside GOP driver (that is updateable with ubu)
@ General_Probe
Are you sure that your motherboard Z87 Pro4 supports processors 5th generation (Broadvell)?Most likely you will have to buy, in addition to the new processor, a new motherboard on 9 chipset.
Great, thanks!

"Hello rivage,
you can verify the BIOS module update success either very easy by re-running the UBU tool or - even more exact - by opening the modded BIOS with the AMI Aptio MMTool, extracting the recently updated modules, opening them with a Hex Editor and comparing the code with the original module.
If you want to check the version of the inserted Intel RAID ROM/EFI RaidDriver, you can enter the BIOS, set the Intel SATA ports to “RAID” mode, reboot and either hit CTRL+I (if you are booting in LEGACY mode) or entering the BIOS again and looking for the tab “Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology” (if you are booting in UEFI mode). Once you have verified the version of the Intel RAID Utility (the LEGACY or UEFI one), you have to re-enter the BIOS and to re-set the Intel SATA ports to “AHCI”,. before you are trying to reboot into your OS. Otherwise you will get a BSOD."
Hi, it looks like everything is updated when I re-run the UBU tool. I didn’t manage to check it out with the second method, I have the “Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology” tab but I’m not sure what I’m supposed to look at exactly cuz I don’t have any numbers, just the multiple lines (disable/enable and so on) of the tab but that’s it.
thank you for replying! I won’t pm you anymore!
You will only see this tab within the UEFI BIOS, when you have set the Intel SATA Controller to "RAID" mode, rebooted and re-entered the UEFI BIOS.
After having hit the "Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology" tab, you should see the version of the active RAID Utility, which is the same as the Intel EFI RaidDriver module of your current BIOS.
No, I just forgot to change the version number. It is corrected now.
Thanks for the info!
Hi,
Found a bug in UBU tool 1.2. When you select to update cpu microcode and UBU informs about you already have latest version it then asks to terminate batch job and if you select Y the utility exits prematurely.
@ davidm71
If you close the message box with the CPU microcode already using the mouse, thus you interrupt functioning of the command processor, it’s not a mistake. Close the message box ESC key.
SoniX…
Changelog for UBU 1.21?
Thanks.
It seems, that SoniX has updated/changed some LAN ROM modules, but the new version is obviously not ready resp. not yet officially released.
So we have to wait for the developer SoniX.
@ SoniX:
Your new UBU version 1.22 is great!
Especially users with an ASRock mainboard benefit from the automaticly done removal of the Capsule Header. I just have tested your new tool with the latest BIOS for my ASRock Z97 Extreme6. Everything worked flawlessly (inclusive the update of the LAN ROM modules).
Thanks for your efforts to make the UBU tool as safe and comfortable for the users as possible!
Although my BIOS is protected I don’t get the message in the tool to remove it, or is it completely automatic?.
It is done by the UBU tool automaticly.
It is done by the UBU tool automaticly.
There seems to be not enough space within the BIOS for that operation.
As long as you do not use the Wake-On-LAN option, you will not notice anything.
