hey man, interesting project you have, i want to try it on my Dell T5610, i have a nvme boot mod on the bios before. can i use this along side the nvme mod or better go with clover boot and use the rebar mod instead? because when i mod the bios for nvme i should use the small version in compressed mode. i’m a bit worried if the bios storage is not enough. thank you in advance
If so, you can delete some of unused modules. Like network ones for computer remote access.
hmm i’ve never delete a module before, what tool do you recommend to deleting module?
and i often use parsec to remote acces the computer is that still working?
They are needed to connect to other PCs. Without requirement booting into OS.
You may use MMTool or UEFITool v28 to remove them.
it’s only 2kb, you won’t have any issues fitting it

Hello @BangDingOw ,
What tools and procedure do you use for programming after you have the mod file?
A user on the github is doing a Dell T7610 workstation. We might be able to help them.

Hi guys,
After spending the better part of the day on updating/bricking/repairing my GPU and updating BIOS and settings for my mobo, here I come hopping for a easy way to success.
The issue: Resizable BAR - disabled
Video card revision: 1.0, vBIOS was F2 → F3 with reBAR support (updated vBIOS)
Mobo B365M DS3H (rev. 1.0) → in the latest BIOS (F7) update, includes reBAR support which I have enabled (auto) alongside “above 4G Decode” , but also disabled legacy (CSM), EFI only and GPT partition table.
Only thing missing in GPU-Z is "Resizable BAR enabled in BIOS - No " (and it is on AUTO)
Now I know that this mobo chipset and CPU normally are not supposed officially but since I have the settings in BIOS isn’t that enough?
Do you guys have any other ideas what I could try beside upgrading my setup?
Thank you in advance!
Hi @Kuri0 , I did, but I’m not sure its all I have to do, doesn’t work after reboot
LE: just saw there is a hole guide to patch my bios .bin file…will try hopefully will be better then my first attempt with the GPU…
Do I have to go through all the steps or only some, based on the the pictures I provided.
LE2: Seems quite complicated and will surely mess something up…
LE(next day):
with fresh eyes managed to successfully complete the tutorial…
Thank you @Kuri0
ive done everything and im waiting on my CH341A, but im curious, does the pad file bug actually make the bios not post at all or can it be flashed without the CH341A? i have an msi z170-a pro and I dont see a pad-file in my new patched version, but its there in the original. the wording had me confused on if this is normal and okay to use or if it not being in BOTH is what is normal and okay to use.
for my Gigabyte mobo I had QFlash utility directly from BIOS and worked (but also some setup in windows I could try) also it has dual-bios and if something would go wrong, its probably recoverable, as last resort I have a raspberry pi that i could probably use a a flasher…
But everything worked as expected.
i just wanna know if its normal to have no pad file in the edited volume for the patched bios. even mmtool method removed pad file.
Sometimes its normal.
If you are paranoid about the pad, I can put it back in.

so proud of myself haha. i did it and i had to also update my gpu vbios but boom, succesful. i used mmtool just in case. no dsdt patch, only did one patch from patches.txt and set 32.
only shows 8gb on bar though, i set to 32, does that matter or??
god this is so cool, i have 60 fps in starfield now lol. the 8gb actually makes sense cuz 8gb vram i think
Attached here is my current working ASRock Z170 Fatal1ty K6 bios that is modded with coffeelake (intel 9th gen cpu) support. I did it a few years ago, thanks to the guide in winraid forum. My i7-9700 runs perfectly on it.

I am trying my best to understand the rebar mod guide posted by xCuri0 on github. I’m stuck at understanding the pad file check and dsdt patching, and I can’t go further.
I’m looking for a kind person who is willing to mod my modded bios to support rebar. A million thanks in advance.

Just make sure you disable CSM, enable above 4g, and you’re good to go to use rebarstate app to set the rebar.

Thank you very much.
Just need some clarifications regarding the step:
- Flash bios
- Disable csm (in bios menu)
- Enable above 4g in bios Advanced\Chipset Configuration menu, similar to this video?
- Run rebarstate while I’m inside Windows?
I am still currently using a nvidia GTX1070 graphics card, which doesn’t support rebar. I am planning to buy RTX3060Ti, which support rebar. If I do this bios mod now, can I check whether the mod is successful (without having rebar-capable gpu)?
yep, you get it all correct. run rebar state IF you want to run rebar.
you could confirm rebar is working when you have a rebar capable card, or when above 4g decoding is enabled, large memory is there in device manager.
Also you could check on GPUZ > Vulkan and see the memory heap size, it should be identical or close to your gpu vram. Rebar isnt working if it only uses 256mb in that page.
I saw an old post from Kuri0 from Nov2022 that says “Z170 and some Z97 boards seem to have a problem where they force GPU resources to be allocated in 32 bit region ignoring if 4G decoding is enabled”.
Is this already fixed?
Regarding running rebarstate, do I need to run it everytime I reset bios? How about if I reinstall windows? Is this a permanent thing?
