This is what I have on them. As you can see, CloverView is rather thin and impossible to code a version detector based on the two samples.

@ Shuan:

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum and thanks for your feedback.
Note: I have moved your post into the UBU discussion thread. The other UBU thread has been designed just for the guide and for new UBU releases d9one by the developer SoniX.

Which/what "others" do you mean?

Why did you try to edit quotation marks and space between them?

Regards
Dieter (alias Fernando)

@Sonix

Hi, sorry for bothering you. Could you explain me why on my Maximus VI Extreme mobo, UBU won’t update haswell vbios, leaving it at 2179 version instead than the new one ?

(It’s the same for me, of course, but I’d like to know why ubu doesn’t update it).

Thanks in advance.

SoniX · June 9, 2015, 8:29am

For update in UBU Tool (only v1.20 and above), files saved as:
- Sandy/IvyBridge -> ‘Modules\VGA\vbiossib.dat’
- Hasweell/Broadwell -> ‘Modules\VGA\vbioshsw.dat’

1. Remove these strings. And you will always have the choice of a new file from any location.

for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir *.CAP *.ROM *.F?? *.BS? *.0?? *.1?? *.2?? *.3?? *.4?? *.5?? *.6?? *.7?? *.8?? *.9?? *.??0 *.??1 *.??2 *.??3 *.??4 bios.bin /b') do (
 	echo %%i
	set biosname=%%i
	if /I %%i==bios.bin (
		goto rise
	) else (
	 	if /I exist bios.bin del /f /q bios.bin
	 	ren "%%i" bios.bin
		goto rise
	)
)

2. Emergency exit.

Thank you Sonix for not only making this app but also for the continuing of updates for it.

I used it this evening (Version 1.27) and when it came to updating the CPU code, there were two listings
1 for Haswell and 1 for Broadwell. I just updated the Broadwell and there is now only 1 listed and that lists
as Haswell/Broadwell, have I done this right or, did I mix it up? I have just bought a new i7 4790K cpu and just
wanted to make sure that the BIOS was as up to date as it could be.
If you require pics I can do it again. Thanks in advance.

If you do not use the processor Broadwell, then do not update its microcode.

killer23d · June 13, 2015, 2:51am

I tried to flash it in both DOS and BIOS Recovery, it gives a warning on integrity check and stopped. I don’t think I can flash the BIOS without signing it.

Thanks for the work though.

Sylar76 · June 14, 2015, 11:31am

You have to use the "Bios Flashback" procedure putting this bios into a USB Stick (NTFS formatted).

Fernando · June 14, 2015, 11:53am

Shouldn’t it be FAT32 formatted?
Look >here<.

killer23d · June 15, 2015, 5:46am

That’s an Asus feature

For the ThinkServer, I already tried to use the BIOS Recovery USB and it won’t even flash. When I put the original BIOS, it will flash regardless.

June 2015 microcode update for Intel processors in Windows
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3064209
This update improves the reliability of systems that use certain Intel processors. This update also fixes some issues that could cause the operating system to function incorrectly.

(Didn`t know whether to create new thread, so did post in most related to CPU microcode thread.)

Fernando · June 17, 2015, 12:35am

>Here< is a special CPU Microcode thread.

Pendaws · June 20, 2015, 2:51pm

SoniX, I have thanked you before for making this utility available but I must now thank you again for the well laid out instructions of how to use it.
I used it to modify my BIOS and today I plucked up the courage to install it, WOW, it sure did help.

One thing I would ask, is there a way to change the BIOS number? The version that was on my machine was F6 and I wanted to change that number
to reflect the modification but, even though I called it F6B, it still shows as F6. Other than that little thing, it is great.

SoniX · June 20, 2015, 3:26pm

@ Pendaws
For detailed instructions thank Fernando.

I think that you can change the version of the BIOS, utilities use ~ DMIEdit or AMIBCP.

sinders · June 20, 2015, 4:41pm

I am wondering if it is not posible to create a UBU Tool but only for the Aptio V BIOS where the the script uses UEFITool to replace the IRST EFI and OROM files.
This should be doable to create a script similar to that of UBU Tool where it scans the Aptio V BIOS and lists the IRST EFI and OROM versions inside the BIOS
just as it does now and also lets you update the BIOS with the collection of IRST EFI and OROM files included with it.

kevindd992002 · June 23, 2015, 10:14pm

If I use a series 6-chipset motherboard, I wouldn’t need to use the Intel BMP to actually upgrade my iGPU vBIOS, right?

Also, would the v124_ILT be applicable in my environment or should I just use the latest v127?
