Hey everyone,
I’m hoping to enable ReBAR on my MSI Z97-S02 motherboard (MS-7821) with an i7-4790k and an Arc A770 GPU (I know, quite a mismatch between GPU and CPU but I got the card cheap from a friend, so I am trying to make due before I upgrade my whole PC). I saw there’s a file floating around for the Z97 Gaming 7 that enables ReBAR, but I’m hesitant to try it on my board in case there are any incompatibilities despite the same chipset. I am unsure if the difference in VRM, PCIE slots or audio and connectivity stuff might cause issues. Would that modded BIOS work on my Z97-S02, or am I risking bricking my motherboard?
If using the Gaming 7 BIOS file is not advisable, could someone with BIOS modding experience guide me through creating a modified version of my Z97-S02 BIOS with ReBAR support?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
