Such mainboard doesn’t exist. Isn’t it an Asus ROG Maximus VIII Formula one? If yes, please correct the related text and the thread title. Otherwise owners of a similar mainboard may not find your thread by using any Search Engine.

Here’s an updated modules file based on last bios (UBU only).
UBUonly_2024-02-15
Processor mcodes also updated.
USB BFB method only, user is the only responsible for using this file and what results may come.

For ReBAR follow the guide/thread

EDIT: Those links are related to same user and his thread/tool that i linked previously. I offer nothing more than described, so don’t post here issues about ReBar and Kuri0 aka xCuri0.

Recovering the bios is possible with the USB BFB feature. For saving board UUID, SN and MAC, an FPT dump can be made or AFUWIN prior to any mods.
FD44Editor will be the tool to write back this info on the recover file.

i already wanted to try that guide but i couldn’t mod the bios with mmtool as the guide suggested that also i dont know if my bios would have a padding file issue or not and also i dont know if it is safe to use UEFITool on my bios to add the rebar moudule.what i am talking about this reference from here

help wanted bios

- Motherboard: Gigabyte z170x-Gaming 7 rev. 1.0 - BIOS Version: F22m - GPU: …Radeon RX6800 Easily managed to set it up and get it running. After some quick testing I found out that... 1gb = According to Radeon drivers (ver22.10.2) and GPU-Z, ReBAR gets enabled, works as expected. 2gb = Halts on bootlogo, unable to enter bios. Need to reset bios. 4gb+ = Boots into Windows but unable to see bootlogo during boot and unable to enter bios, trying to enter bios using the Windows troubleshooting menu also fails. (tested up to 16gb with the same behavior) Did some benchmarks on 4gb and 16gb to test for system instability, all seemed fine except that I was unable to see the bootlogo on boot or access the bios which can be confusing because during the whole booting process it does seem like the computer has failed to post. ![rebar enabled](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/19908441/198854788-882f859d-51cb-4075-b677-6aeb3e492f47.PNG)

**System** - Motherboard: [ASUS ROG Maximus VII Ranger](https://rog.asus.com/m…otherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-vii-ranger-model/) - BIOS Version: [3503](https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-vii-ranger-model/helpdesk_bios/) - GPU: [ASUS RX6600](https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/dual/dual-rx6600-8g/) - [x] CSM is turned off - [x] 4G decoding is enabled - [x] UEFIPatch is applied (see [Using UEFIPatch](https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI/wiki/Using-UEFIPatch) for more information). On some motherboards [DSDT Patching](https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI/wiki/DSDT-Patching) is also needed - [x] I have read [Common issues (and fixes)](https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI/wiki/Common-issues-(and-fixes)) **Description** Unfortunately, this is one of those motherboards that will break overclocking and post issues when the bios get modified by UEFITool. I first found out when I used [UBU Tool](https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/discussion-ubu-tool-related-questions-reports-and-suggestions/33251/1739) to update microcode and other firmwares in the past and since just used the 3503 provided by ASUS ROG (original). I found out about ReBar to add support for my newly acquired RX6600 and went with the normal method of using UEFITool and UEFIPatch. The bios flashes successfully and ReBar works, except overclocking now doesn't work (which is quite essential on DDR3 ram in my case). I used MMTool 5.0.0.7 and 5.2.0.24 and they both modify the bios in the exact same way (but different to UEFITool of course). After successfully applying the patches with UEFIPatch, the system rejects the bios as an update via the EZ Update tool, nor does it accept via the flashback method (the indicator stays turned on instead of blinking). Did I miss any step when using MMTool (I followed the steps in the wiki)? Or am I supposed to use MMTool v4.x instead?

and also i dont know if i will be able revert back to original stock if something goes wrong with mod
