I’m currently playing a bit with an old intel system - motherboard dp55wb, i7 860 - I’m trying to overclock the processor a bit. Until now the process is going just fine… I can change CPU bclk frequency and some memory configs to get to 3.6 ghz CPU speed. But I can´t go any further cause theres close to none voltage settings available… So I’m trying to mod the BIOS to show a hidden advanced menu and other hidden options on the current available tabs. I manege to find some advanced config quotes as well as voltage settings on BIOS file using uefitool, but have no idea how to unlock them… I’m attaching a biosreg extracted with FPT and a full image too. And hoping for some reply to help me unllock tohse options.
BTW. I have programmer and already used it on this system successfully
edit theres an old intel “technical product specification” for this board that shows advanced menu, so he’s probably there somewhere
@fairestmeat - Dump BIOS with programmer and attach, then I will see if I can unlock for you. Programmer is the only way for Intel board BIOS, maybe after you program in unlocked FD with programmer, then you could use FPT, but I’m not sure (no one ever plays with Intel board much)
So, apparently, intel deleted the support page for old boards like this a while ago… So I can’t give you an official page, but I have the stock BIOS that I flashed awhile ago… Got it from one of those archive sites, but only the full image, not the exe or other file. Let me know if you need this file.
Also, I have an EXE of an older version (this older version is the previous one I had installed and works fine) let me know if you want this file too.
The version I currently have is v.0165 and the full ID is - WBIBX10J 86A 0165
edit
I also have a technical manual for this board too, if it helps
OK, I only need the extracted image from the EXE of BIOS you are using. If it’s not the .BIO image I wanted extracted from the exe then I’ll have to find the BIOS at one of these archive sites too but in exe form
It has to be your current BIOS version, unless you want to downgrade to some other older BIOS first (if that’s even possible?!) Found it - https://de.pcdrivers.guru/intel-desktop-…oad-618581.html Well, found the names of the .BIO and .EXE at least, but can’t download from above I have to have at least one of these, or the ISO, zip etc. wbibx10j.86a.0165.eb.exe WB0165P.BIO
Yeah, I just found a few viruses, and old dead links in a few Chinese sites You may have to find some other current owners and ask them if any have 0165 stock files. And on that note, here is only user I see here that mentions it @poulpy55
I looked at rebyteme and only seen older BIOS, must not have looked deep enough in there Thanks! I will grab these files and see what I can do for you this weekend. Wait, so what is attached above? Please put exe and .BIO in single a zip/rar for me, thanks.
@fairestmeat - Sorry, I can’t find the unlock on this BIOS I can send you the extracted setup PE32 modules for assembly edit, there is two, assume edit both just in case. Then you can ask if someone will unlock them for you over at BIOS-mods.com if you want? .BIO must be opened in UEFITool 21.5, then setup is at GUID - 056E7324-A718-465B-9A84-228F06642B4F x 2 To generate IFR, you must extract the entire module - FFS as is, or body. You can’t get IFR if you extract the PE32 part only, but that part is what you open in assembly to find the unlock, so that’s why I mentioned to send the PE32’s as well, for edit Anyway, if you want me to send you what I extracted, let me know. Sorry I can’t do this one, some Insyde is just above my skill-set
I think I already found the pe32 setup module, as you said found two identical ones, but only using UEFItool NE alpha 57, the 21.5 version cannot find the modules, only two raw sections (don’t know what those are) when searching for that GUID. Anyways, I’d like the ones you have!
1.Right now I’m trying to check the setup modules to see if I can find the options I want there, if so, I’ll ask someone at bios-mods.com, if I can’t find anything, does that mean that my bios don’t have those option?
2.I searched for the modules by using text search, than extracted FFS as is, and used IFR extractor, the format of the generated file is very weird, alot of blank spaces, but seems to be fine… The only thing is, there are some option that I can see, change in BIOS, and find with uefitool text search on this setup module, that I can’t find in the generated IFR file… Does this mean this IFR is not extracting properly?
3. Should all setting I can see in BIOS be on that setup?
Those question are both for knowledge and to see if I can change things with vars edit if BIOS menu unlock is really not a thing for this system
Latest bios for DP55WB 0336 26 Jun 2012, and respective release notes, check notes on PDF to AA numbers on 0319 version.
@Lost_N_BIOS , not saying that REBYTE ME has it all, but usually when u do a search using their search box, it always comes 2 results, one always more complete than the other…about Google errr… and No, sry i do not have the skills at least on ur level or tried to unlock any Intel bios
I did not check with 57, but 51 cannot expand the main DXE volume, only 21.5 does properly Nice, thanks! I just checked and 57 and will get there too! The sections are NOT RAW, so not sure what you mean? I see it properly w/57 and or 21.5 >> DXE (Depex section), PE32 Section, MM/SMM (Depex section)
Sorry, I only spent about half hour trying to find the unlock, I will look more tonight when I have a bit more time, maybe I can figure it out (but it was not looking good ) Make IFR from the modules as I mentioned, then you can look to see if settings you want are there or not.
Here is the files extracted as I mentioned - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil…702823772179192 Yes, if you do not find the setting you want, then they are not in this BIOS, or are not named what you searched for if using search instead of scrolling through.
Yes, all settings will be shown at the IFR, visible and hidden ones. Sounds like you may not have full proper IFR? But yes, I see what you mean, this is due to Boolean formatting used, and or not 100% compatible IFR generation (This is VERY old, VERY early UEFI) And yes, sometimes it’s possible that some settings are stored in other modules. You’d have to give me an example or two so I can look. Tell me exact name of setting in BIOS, and I will see if it’s in some other than setup/platform module
You can change any setting via vars edit, if you can dump vars without issue with some version of H2OUVE Make sure you are in correct VarStore if/when you make changes, not all things will be stored in "Setup or Platform" Since this IFR does not show VarStoreID for each setting, it may be tough to do var dump changes.
I see possible menu edit at sub_72D0 or maybe in F110, but would not test this edit without flash programmer and backup made (ready for recovery) It may not even be in correct area AT ALL, just a starting guess
What all BIOS sections can you see now, across the top?
* Edit @MeatWar - Thanks! I wonder why we did not see any of this in google?? Not sure what you mean about AA numbers on 0319? That’s better, single setup module on this one, that’s more like it!
Do you know about menu unlock for this BIOS? * Edit - I see your edit on this, bummer I hate Insyde, but can often get it sorted, but actual Intel Insyde is a bit different, so I’ll have to keep stabbing at this one
Thanks for the file! I tried flashing v.319, and did not work, no video after flash, did not try version 336 though… @Lost_N_BIOS
Would this version be better to sort it out? I can try a flash to see if boots properly. Backup is already made, and programmer ready.
The setting I’m most looking for is "cpu voltage override", this setting is in module extracted, but in IFR file only shows +50mv and +100mv options, while in hex editor and uefitool text search I can see other values. [[File:Sem título.png|none|auto]]
And an option that I have access, but cannot spot in IFR file is "maximum non-turbo ratio"
This is the setting missing in IFR that led me to ask this question…
Also, there are core ratio values that I can see but are grayed out in BIOS… "core ratio limit" I can spot those in IFR file, and they are labeled as numeric values, how would I change numeric values with vars method?
I can see main, performance, security, power and boot ( I’ll send pics later)
Right now i’m Trying to dump vars to see if i can find and change correct edit… but h2ouve versions 100.00.9.2 and 100.00.16 are giving me error… v 100.00.16 seems like its gonna work, but returns error: failed to get bios data. Failed to get variable information.
Is there maybe other method to change vars? Or maybe other h2ouve version to try it out
@fairestmeat - For 319 / video issue, did you clear CMOS and test both integrated and PCIE GFX? I would have skipped that anyway, and went straight to latest BIOS 336
“cpu voltage override” is not same as CPU Voltage that you are showing in that image - Sometimes stuff is left in BIOS strings that is not in BIOS, due to manufacturers being lazy and using a base BIOS as source for all BIOS usually So not all BIOS will have all things you find in text strings (What you’re looking at in the image, CPU Voltage - this setting not in this BIOS)
Maximum non-turbo - This is located at the same GUID I mentioned previously, PlatformDXE module, but yes, not in IFR As I mentioned, this is very early UEFI, and so probably some stuff is not properly done, or current tools don’t find things they way they were done back then etc.
Vars, if none of them dump it, then nothing you can do there. I already checked and no EZE versions work properly either Plus, we cannot see varstore ID for any setting, so you can’t edit anything in vars anyway, you wouldn’t know which varstore any setting is stored inside.
core ratio limit - Null the suppression if or gray out if via FF before the option you want, then it will be visible/ungrayed in BIOS. I am not sure which you can see, which you can’t see, or which are gray etc, so below is general example of how to Null the suppression via FF and unsuppress and or un-gray out all of them
I have to have at least one of these, or the ISO, zip etc.
