**This is a small update from @FPSUsernamebios, with now ResizableBar working at full 39 Bit Address instead limited for some time ago.
How To Enable Resizable Bar
Normal Resizable Bar: Use ReBarSate from here, And Run as Admin.
Nvidia Turing (GTX 1600/RTX 2000): Use this, And Run as Admin.
You need to enable Above 4G Decoding for Resizable Bar and Disable CSM/Legacy (boot to UEFI only). To enable it, go to bios → Boot → Above 4G Decoding and enable it.
It is not possible for me to do it, unless you can ask asus and persuade them to add tpm 2.0 support (and give it to you), i might able to redo the bios with tpm 2.0 support.
oh dang.
Looking here, I only saw stuff about Gigabyte releasing an update for it…
There was this mention of Asus H97M-E 2702 BIOS having some kind of support tho. Dunno why H97 would have that but not Z97.
I’m speaking as a complete noob that barely knows anything, but would it be possible to take the code that enables TPM 2.0 from that H97M-E 2702 BIOS and somehow maybe adapt that into the Maximus VII Ranger BIOS’s TPM code?
Hello @AllenR, so i’ve persuaded asus support team for M7R, and the Asus HK Rep said that they’re willing to make 1, but it wont be tested on their side since they said they don’t have the system, i agreed and am waiting for their result. Are you willing to test if you have the Asus TPM-L R2.0 module (or known compatible), since i don’t have the tpm module (and it’s hard to find 1 in my country)?
I don’t have a TPM module with me tho… I still have to order one online. Can’t really find the exact Asus one, so I’ll prolly try one of the other 20-pin ones. But even then my motherboard is actually still broken
Something’s up with the chipset. Last time it diagnosed it, it only turned on if I push on the heatsink… so I’m still trying to attempt a reflow. It was still working back in February tho.
Hopefully this goes well **KNOCK ON WOOD** and lasts
I’m trying it out on other scrap boards first tho.
If I get it working again, I can try ordering that TPM module (tho it’d be a waste if it turns out that the mod doesn’t work).
HOLY SHIT, I think I managed to fix my board lol.
I still have to order that TPM chip online tho.
Found a cheap one. Dunno if it’ll work with this BIOS update tho, since it’s not an official one. The reviews only show it working on Gigabyte boards [ga-b85m-d3h & ga-b150m-d3h], dunno about Asus ones.
Asus still hasn’t provide me with the bios yet cuz they kept asking for the tpm slot and the tpm module photos… like literally everything is in their own support page and clearly said .
I did gave the support aome photos, hoping that it’s ready…
Gigabyte eSupport never asked me for any details like photo or what module, they just… immidiately work at the request, and delivered it flawlessly
It’s still crazy you convinced them to make one. Customer Support wouldn’t budge when I contacted them months ago, saying that they are focused on the newer boards, which makes sense I guess (I couldn’t find the serial number sticker for the Ranger VII at the time… I wonder if that was a factor. Found it now, but it was not in the spot Asus mentioned it’d be and hidden for some reason on my board. Some other random serial number was in that place instead.)
