Hi everyone, my first post here.
I offer you guys my custom bios.
Here’s the link with changelog and all the stuff.
Also if anyone can help me to implement correctly the IntelRCsetup it would be really great tho. Finally got it unlocked ! Please see credits
The repo also includes schematics and stuff i used to make this mod.
NOTE: this bios mod might be compatible with the X99A Godlike Carbon with corssflashing but not tested as I don’t own this board
