Happy new year everyone!
I have a Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5 motherboard and I have been trying to do the ff:
-Update microcode
-Enable NVME
-Unlock HPET and other options.
I found a previously modded F10 BIOS (by fernando) to enable NVME which I have attached and is also shared here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Kb-Ms32WDymdmCmAvYUENuGvdt4iBQO4/view?usp=sharing
However, I also want to update the microcode and unlock HPET and other options if possible. The bios of the MATX version of this motherboard (G1.Sniper M5) was previously unlocked [Offer] (Gigabyte G1.Sniper M5 (Z87) F10 -HPET NVMe Mod - BIOS/UEFI Modding / Offers: Already modded special BIOSes - Win-Raid Forum (level1techs.com) so I was hoping someone could help me with this.
This is the link to the unedited F10 BIOS: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_g1.sniper5_f10.zip
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S.
Also, is it possible to insert Broadwell microcode to the Z87 to allow use of broadwell cpus?
Edit by Fernando. Thread title shortened
use z97 bios can use 5775c or u can try change pei about memory init
@Ebby - Do you still need? If yes, do you want me to use Fernando’s mod BIOS to do Microcode and HPET, or edit stock one?
What “Other Options” do you need?
Broadwell is a NO, sorry, unless @bojack_max wants to clarify and or explain to me in-depth what needs edited in PEI/Memory Init etc.
@bojack_max would it be possible to use a Z97 bios in a Z87 board?
Hi @Lost_N_BIOS ! Thanks for your reply! Yes kindly use Fernando’s version! Would it be possible to integrate SLIC 3.2 for Windows 7 as well?
Hello everyone, I wanted to ask, I’m new to this topic, but can someone tell me if there is already a modified BIOS for this motherboard “Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5 (https://www.gigabyte.com/ua/Motherboard/G1Sniper-5-rev-1x)” (Enable NVME) to boot the OS. I would be grateful for your help.
to be honest, I didn’t understand anything written above, if possible, please explain in more detail what’s what and how?
my request was that I want to find a modified BIOS,
flash it on the motherboard and install the OS on the NMVE SSD disk, which is installed via a PCI-E -x4 adapter, so that the OS would start from this disk, not SATA SSD

Please re-read MeatWar’s recent post carefully and open the related links.
Then you will find
a) the requested freshly modded BIOS,
b) a tip how to get the modded BIOS properly flashed and
c) how to get Win10/11 installed onto the NVMe SSD.
