I would like to ask for some guidance since I’m new to this and don’t want to end up with a non-bootable situation.
I have read the guides, and I have tried the different toolsets needed but did not find courage to execute.
CPU: intel 7700k
GFX: 1080ti
RAM: 16GB CL15,3000Mhz
Motherboard is BIOS version 1301 and updated with ME v11.8 with ASUS downloadable tools. I have been overclocking cpu+ram+bclk, which i suspect might be the reason for my corrupted ME region. Possible second reason is my bootloader was set up with “usefirmwarepcisettings No”, which causes windows to alter I/O’s while ASUS MEupdate tool is run from within windows. If i boot with “usefirmwarepcisettings yes” IMEI and pci-express ports stop functioning. I experience issues with horrible stuttering which is the cause for my digging in the first place. Oh well, here comes some info gathered.
FPTW -d spi.bin (version 11.8.60.3561) works, and spits out spi.bin 16,384kB. I tried -greset, which rebooted computer but issue persists.

When I downloaded different BIOSes from ASUS website I quickly realize my regions are setup very different from the original ones.
From this point on I am not confident in the next steps. If anyone with experience from this area would offer some guidance I would appreciate it, and hopefully learn a thing or two in the process (and not have to RMA my card). The thing is, ASUS doesn’t offer option to enable/disable HPET within its BIOS, which I hope to be able to mod as I learn more about BIOS modding. (possibly a step towards getting a stutter-free platform)
