The BIOS of your Gigabyte mainboard has nothing to do with the RAID Controller of your PCIe card. The related Option ROM/Firmware module is within the chip of the PCIe card.
Is there a way to solve the problem that my motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H saw KingSpec PCI-E 2.0 2U 240GB.
Please advice
You should better ask the Gigabyte and/or the KingSpec Customers Support.
I guess I have no choice.
Hi,
First, excuse me for poor English and please excuse me this question is not in the right place (and I am also glad you assist to the right place).
I need TRIM on SSD RAID. I have Asus P8H67-V mobo with H67 chipset and 3707 bios. I downloaded “Universally TRIM modified Intel RST(e) RAID ROM v12.9.0.2006 with TRIM in RAID0 support” file, MMTool Aptio and BIOS file same is installed. I loaded bios image to MMTool and selected bin file as module file. Now, I do not know which one I’d choose: Insert or Replace. If true choice is Replace, what I choose from the following list? is 2B SataController right option?
Thank you for your patience and guidance.
@spartiat :
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
You will find a guide about the manual modification of an AMI UEFI BIOS within the start post of >this< thread, but much easier and safer will be the usage of the UBU tool.
Look >here<.
Since your request has much more to do with the BIOS modification than with the BIOS modules themselves, I have moved it into the correct thread.
The "Replace" option is the normal one.
No, the Intel RAID ROM and all other Option ROM modules are within the BIOS file named "CSMCORE". For details please look into the first mentioned guide.

Hi all,
I’m actually trying to add the “AHCI BIOS Security Extension” http://www.tb-kaiser.de/ahci_sbe/ to my BIOS (my motherboard is the : m5a97 R2.0 from asus), my motherboard don’t support this feature (UEFI and AMI) even after asking the support they said that the motherboard doesn’t support this feature and it’s all.
During my research I’ve see another related thread here but this extension is from 2006 and don’t support AHCI
All my attempt to add this feature have failed - here the tutorial that I try to follow
-I don’t understand what f*** is PCI_VENDOR_ID and PCI_DEVICE_ID of my ETHERNET card even after some research I don’t understand why I need them and I’ve found as result 10ec;8168 (found with a linux liveCD on my desktop with the command : lspci -nn | grep 0200) which I’m sure they are wrong values (appears to be some generics stuff) but I’ve still no network card in my desktop (because I will change soon)
-After downloading the bios from the asus website I’ve a .CAP file as I understand this is only a .ROM file with a header but can I directly use this .CAP in MMtool or I need to convert it, and if yes, how I can do that?
But instead of replacing another module in bios wouldn’t it will be possible to insert it ?? And what do exactly “Link present” in “For Option ROM only” ?
Sorry for the lame questions, I’m new and I will continue to read some tutorials from here
Thanks

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
This is a software, which may lock/unlock SATA drives, but has nothing to do with a BIOS modification.
The VendorID of your on-board Ethernet Controller is VEN_10EC (=Realtek) and the DeviceID is DEV_8168 (="RTL8168 Gigabit Ethernet Controller").
You can open the *.CAP file by using the AMI Aptio MMTool 4.50. When you navigate to the .CAP file, you should choose the "Files of type" option "Capsule Files (.cap)".
By the way: Much easier would be the usage of the UBU tool (>LINK<).
Please have a look into my guide (>LINK<).
Good luck!

P.S.: I have moved your request and my reply into the already existing better matching thread.
HI
I am having problem with AMIBCP 4.55 Version tool while editing with GA-Z97-D3H bios Z97D3H.F9. I can open the bios in AMIBCP but I can’t edit or save as AMIBCP crashes while doing the same. I have tried lower versions of Bios too but the same issue…I have tried it in AMIBCP V5.0 but it says it is not Aptio V image…
What may be the issue? any help?
Thanks
Ok here we go, Hello community. It’s been a while since I have got a chance to modd a bios, since my z77 Premium from ASUS, but I have read the notes and I know that I can’t use the UBUTool w/ my bios, this time around I own a ASUS X99-Deluxe currently using Bios version 3101. I have read here that I can’t use the UBUTool to update the microcodes of my new CPU XEON 2696 V4, cause UBUtool is having problems w/ X99 bioses, ok all that been said, the other option is to use AMI Aptio 5 Tool from CodeRush, fine I understand the process to follow to use this tool. But here is the question:
1- Where do I find the latest microcode files from Broadwell EP and the latest ME files as well, and ones I get this files what TAB on Aptio 5 Tool should I be looking for, the replaced TAB or the Insert TAB to update those two areas on my bios.
The main reason for me to update such bios is because the currently bios that I’m using the 3101 it only recognize my XEON 2696 V4 as a 18 Core processor, and ASUS are taking their time to support such mobo, so I decide to give it a shot my self and update the microcode and ME firmware since the ME firmware plays a big roll now on BIOS updates. If anyone can guide on how to insert or replaced this two options on BIOS I will appreciate him or her as well this community. The worst that could happen is to have a no boot system, not a problem replace the BIOS chip for a new one, problem solved. So long story short I’m willing to give it shot w/ someone’s help. TIA
Well I have found this guide from this member at this link: http://www.overclock.net/t/1577530/guide…he-x99-ami-bios , in which maybe helpful to other X99 series bios owner that will like to read upon and give it a shot. In which I will as soon as my extra bios chip arrives.
I just strat to learn mod BIOS. Today I make first modification - add RAID driver and it’s work 
Now I have question. If I want change some think else I can use moded BIOS or I must to use original?
Microcodes drivers, what else we can add change unlock with this tool?
Hi there,
Thanks for the amazing work. This forum rocks, seriously.
I have a little question/problem. I’ve been updating manually my bios’ CPU Microcode support succesfully, but since several bios versions, ASUS has fucked up XMP ram detection, and it seems they are not going to fix this for serveral RAM models. So, I was wondering if I can locate the “XMP or RAM detection” module or something like that on a previously fully working bios, extract it, and replace it onto the new bugged bios. Am I talking the imposible here? Can this be done?
Thanks for your time and effort.
PS: My motherboard is ASUS Maximus Hero VIII, the working XMP bios is 1701 version, last bugged one is 2202.
I have a problem to flash the modified bios. i followed every step in the guide and when i want to flash it via ez-flash inside the bios i got this error: "the selected file is not a proper bios". what now ?
my MB is Asus H170-Pro
You have to use the USB Bios Flashback procedure. EZ Flash works only with original and untouched asus bios files due to the signature check.
this board doesn’t have this feature
You have to try then with AFUDOS or FPT (Intel Flash Image Tool). In the latter case you have to check first if the descriptor regions
are unlocked or not.
no success.
There’s also a workaround regarding to Asrock motherboards with AMI Aptio 5 Bios. I don’t want to try it because I’m worried about to brick my Asus board.
So, if anyone knows how to flash a modded BIOS into Asus H170 Pro boards (AMI Aptio 5), you’re welcome 
Until that I will leave it like that.
My motherboard (X99) is AMI Aptio V and I’ve successfully used FPTW64 (64 bit Windows version)
of the flash tool, but in my case I’ve all the descriptor regions unlocked and I can flash any bios I want.
I hope someone with the same motherboard, or same chipset, will read your thread and may be able
to better help you.
If you wish I can mod a valid H170 bios for you, to flash it via FPTW64 without any errors.
I only need to know which mods you need (OROM, LAN, etc etc).
If you can also provide me a valid dump of the bios you’re currently using it’s the best choice.
(You have to use the syntax FPTW64.EXE -D backup.rom).
