[Request] HP Z230 activate SPD Write feature

Hello, guys.

Ask for help in unlocking hidden BIOS settings or to enable this feature permanently.
It is mainly needed to disable SPD Write Protection.
I tried so many ways to get it work, but i can’t write modded BIOS on the PC after my changes.
Hope someone could help me)

BIOS.BIN - uploaded the bin here.

PC - HP Z230
PC specs:
i5-4590.
HD 7870.
BIOS: L51 v1.63.


in case of fptw64.exe write error - in EFI GRUB Shell (Deathbringer unlock), execute:
setup_var 0x96 0x0
setup_var 0x97 0x0
setup_var 0x98 0x0
setup_var 0x99 0x0
setup_var 0x9a 0x0
(those offsets, that I took from the forum thread mentioned above, are also valid for HP Z230, I checked)

Thx for reply, i saw that on NVME fix topic, but not understand - will it fix my problem?

It’s not clear why you need to modify the BIOS and whether you understand the risks

I’m going to slightly change the timings/frequency of the RAM using Thaiphoon Burner, I think unlocking one function in the BIOS will be easier than adding a whole tab for overclocking the RAM.

Не сразу увидел сообщение на русском, так бы быстрее отписал)

1600 Mgz

Та у меня на одной плашке 1333, в итоге вся память из-за неё хромает

Понял вас, в любом случае - спасибо вам за отведённое время :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s cheaper to take the right one than to risk the system (!!!)

I’m not your help here,
but I just want to save you iron, nerves and money :slight_smile:

Sorry, who is on the forum, for messages in Russian

It was discussed above that it is better to set the normal bar to 1600 than to risk the system
