Greetings from Taiwan.
Because of meltdown i wanted to update my bios from my board. Unfortunately, i was able to install the wrong Bios. I have a
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG...-I-GAMING/
and i installed the bios from
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG...-I-GAMING/
Both boards look totally the same. Only one small number is changed. I installed the bios under windows with the AI Suite. The Installation works without any error. After reboot my pc told me that the bios is damaged and it wants to install the bios again from the Z370-I(Version 0606). Now it doesn’t accept anymore the bios from the Z 270-I. I try a lot but the only way to boot up my PC was to install again the wrong bios from the Z370-I. My PC is running without any bugs. Performance is very good and stable. But my PC is thinking that i have a new mainboard. I’m afraid that I will have later on some problems with drivers and windows. Asus don’t want to help me. I see 2 options for me. One is faking the bios signature from the Z270-i. That it looks like the Z370-I Bios. So, when my pc checks for the right bios it can’t see the difference. Or I’m in some way able to install the z270-i bios and the check for the right bios is disabled. Maybe there is a way to install a bios with disabled version check. I live in Taiwan and I can’t speak Chinese. I came from Germany. So, to give back the board will be very complicated. The other thing is I have a very small case and a custom water-cooling system inside. It took me days to assemble my PC. It will be aa big pain in the a….. to disassemble it and assemble it again later. I’m very sure there must be an easy software solution. You are my last hope for this problem. The Bios is an AMI bios. Maybe you know a solution.
