Umh this is the first time i’m writing in this forum so pardon me if i put this in the wrong section 
I just wanted to know if there is a SAFE way to change HPET in the bios as asus doesn’t show the setting.
Also if i am able to change the setting but to an incorrect value would i be able to recover my bios by clearing cmos or my mb is bricked?
Thanks!! (btw my bios version is 1302)
Yes, I can make visible for you, but you will have to flash in mod BIOS and do some other things first so you can flash in mod BIOS (Little involved, but I’ve written a guide for this).
Please confirm this is your motherboard model/BIOS download page - https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG…/HelpDesk_BIOS/
Enable/disable either would not brick your board, and you can change by rebooting back to BIOS and change, clear CMOS would not be required.
Yup that’s the bios download page!
OK, thanks. I will make you mod BIOS and show you how to flash it tonight when I get back 
Sorry I’m heading out right now in about 3 minutes
Yeah i’m from EU so it’s night here, see you tomorrow!
Thanks 
Sorry, I forgot to add, you need to do BIOS dump first then I mod and show you how to flash back
Here’s what you need to do -
Go to this thread and in the section “C.2” download the V12 ME System Tools Package
Intel Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware & System Tools
Once downloaded, inside you will find Flash Programming Tool folder, and inside that a Win32 folder.
Select that Win32 folder, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (Not power shell).
At the command prompt type the following command and send me the created file to modify >> FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin
Right after you do that, try to write back the BIOS Region dump and see if you get any error >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosreg.bin
If you do get error, show me image of the command entered and the error given
^^ This is important step, don’t forget ^^
^^ Here, I assume you will get error 280 or 360, if yes, do not send me above file, wait until you do the unlock below ^^
If you are stuck on Win10 and cannot easily get command prompt, and method I mentioned above does not work for you, here is some links that should help
Or, copy all contents from the Flash Programming Tool \ DOS folder to the root of a USB Bootable disk and do the dump from DOS (FPT.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin)

Or here is simply registry edit that adds “Open command window here as Administrator” to the right click menu
Double-click to install, reboot after install may be required

Here’s guide I made on how to unlock BIOS/SMI lock to get past error 280 or 368, you can start at step #6, I’ve done rest for you below
After you do this, reboot back to windows, and make a new FPT BIOS region dump (FPTw.exe -bios -d biosregnew.bin) and send me this (also test flashing that right back, same as above, it should succeed)
[GUIDE] Grub Fix Intel FPT Error 280 or 368 - BIOS Lock Asus/Other Mod BIOS Flash
Rename your .efi file to >> Shell.efi
BIOS Lock variable to change >> 0xBBD
So, at grub prompt you will type the following (Case sensitive) >> setup_var 0xBBD 0x0
Then reboot to windows, redo both FPT dump and reflash test, using new BIOSregnew.bin name so you know it’s this new one, once you succeed to flash send me this file and I will then edit it for you.
Hmm, that shouldn’t be set! Yes, please do as mentioned above, but also add this command below after the first command I gave you above, then reboot and dump again and try to reflash.
If still fails, send me the new dumped file and image of the error, if different. You may need flash programmer to get around FPRR set, it’s a pain and shouldn’t be enabled by default
So, at grub prompt, do the following, one line at a time, enter after each
setup_var 0x127B 0x0
setup_var 0xBBD 0x0
