Yes, but I got the Intel RAID ROM v11.2.1527 inserted nevertheless. This is what I have done: 1. As first step I removed the Marvell LAN ROM shown as 11AB:4364 within the columd “RunLoc”. 2. Then I saved this altered BIOS (only after having finished the removing action by hitting “Save” the free space will be available for other modules). 3. Now I could easily replace the Intel RAID ROM by the v11.2.0.1527 one.
If you really should need the Marvell LAN ROM, you can remove the OEM logo, but you have to save the BIOS, before you replacethe Intel RAID ROM module.

This is a great forum. Thanks for the information and quick responses on my questions!
The success that I had was trial and error until I got around the issue of putting a larger orom for the intel in. With the larger Intel ROM first had to replace the Primary Lan which wasn’t hardly compressed with the new one which did compress. But the PCI location in the MMTool list changes from LAN,RAID,LAN to RAID,LAN,LAN! (Also didn’t have to remove any logos or bitmaps to achieve the orom update). And have both LAN’s in place with BIOS LOGO intact. Updating LAN OROM’s to lastest solves the problem of them not working with the 9.x/10.x Intel ROM. Older Marvell Lan ROM’s not working with the 9.x Intel ROM is a known issue. The newest Marvell ROM’s for my board are fully functional but only show up if they are set to enable and selected to boot before the hard drive or other boot device. They detect network cable, MAC address and attempt to boot then times out and goes to next boot device in boot list.

Thanks for your report. By the way: The insertion of an Intel RAID ROM v13.x.x.xxxx into a BIOS of a P45 Chipset mainboard doesn’t make much sense for me.
You can “downgrade” the Intel RAID ROM version and the Intel RAID driver version without the need to reinstall the OS, unless you are planning to “downgrade” both to a “classical” RST version (latest: v11.2.x.xxxx).

That’s what I thought. But I think that classical RST is actually what you recommend for the ICH10? (11.2)
Since I’m already on the new track I took the latest… Maybe I get another chance when Windows 10 is released
I’m new here and I would first thank Fernando and other members who participated to bring precious informations on this forum. So now here is my contribution.
I have an ASRock Z68 Pro Gen 3 (fatality) motherboard. I was looking for breakdown tolerance and good performances, so I wanted to build a RAID 5 array (6 x 1 Tb 7200 rpm Hitachi HDT721010SLA360). After initialization (approximatively 24 hours) I have created a GPT with 64 kb offset and formatted a 64 kb cluster NTFS partition to ensure good alignment. Write speed don’t exceed 40 MB/s, read speed is much better.
Obsessed by system optimization (as everyone here) I looked for Intel raid rom updating and I read a lot of useful informations here. I have used AMI APTIO UEFI MMTOOL 4.5 to mod the latest 2.26 beta bios. Replaced Intel orom 10.8.0.1303 by 12.9.0.2006 version as you adviced. Replaced ASMedia 106x v0.93 rom version by v0.954 too. I have not try to flash the 3.70 version but it seems to be a very bad idea (?). After flashing this new modded rom my PC has boot successfully, but seems I have lost my parity disk. The missing disk is currently rebuilding, I will then install 12.9.4.1000 driver version and perform speed tests again.
I generally do not recommend to update the stock ASMedia 106x AHCI ROM version. Many users had problems with “newer” ASMedia ROM modules (all of them are quite old).
Please give us a feedback after having finished your system optimization.

If there are any newer modules, i would like to try them.
