Hi~friend ,i need you provide me the extra information for bios edit and somethings you may need to know.

1. Please capture some screenshots under Settings > Io Port and Settings > Miscellaneous.

2. you may need to know two way to reflash the modify bios.
a) Use a modified version Efiflash to flash mod ,i thought you should can find out it in this forum.
b) Use Q-Flash plus feature.

Hi~try my mod and respond the result.
After flashing mod ,check whether there are any changes under IO PORT. If it has ,please capture screenshot again ,thanks.

Hello, I flashed the mod as requested and took a screenshot in the IO Ports menu.
I haven’t changed any settings yet, is it safe to use? I see a lot more unlocked options so I assume you inserted a module from another motherboard.

No , i don’t insert anything from other board ,option “Initial Display Output” is originally exist in bios ,but gigabyte choose to hdden it. I also injected a new sub-item “PCH-IO Configuration” ,why i did this?? Because of this menu included “High Precision Timer(HPET)” ,it seems that many users need it ,so i choose inject it.

Please also capture a screenshot of “PCH-IO Configuration” ,i nned to know if it has hdden other options.

I have a experience on modify new Aorus interface ,so you don’t worry, you can refer to this link.
This is my research report with IO PORT menu ,you can see some feature still not unlock and blank items i can’t analyze yet. Super IO Configuration swapped to PCH-IO Configuration was i did.

I configured the BIOS with my settings and everything works perfectly. Thank you.

Here is the requested screenshot of the "PCH-IO Configuration" menu. As you can see the scrollbar appears to have more elements to show but it jumps to the top when I press the down arrow.
