AMI BIOS update image (Assistance)

[internetexplorer]

Thank you! About the multi, I really appreciate it but I hope that the actual update would include the usual overclocking settings so that those multi's could be utilized. I'll standby here, and please let me know If I could be of any more help.

Yes, please see page one again, refresh to see my edits. I agree, it would be great to have actual "BIOS Update" from manufacturer, but since this is rare OEM, I cannot find any official BIOS update download link, not even to old BIOS let alone new one.

Your stock BIOS does not show you CPU multi to begin with, so I doubt any official update would either, thus also never show the 0.5 multi option either which is a separate setting you normally have to choose to enable when it's offered. So even if we could find official latest BIOS, I doubt you would have that option since CPU multi is hidden from you anyway (And even when I unhide, there is no function to it, only FSB will work)

Hey. Also, I'd like to tell you that we also have this another pc which has the same BIOS but of different motherboard I think. I'll get a hold of it later. I have reason to believe that it is a later version of which I have because of the usual overclocking settings it has. Attached here is what you need.

[Lost_N_BIOS]

Yes, you will have to check that other system to see what board it has in it. Different motherboard likely wont use same BIOS anyway, so it will not matter what's in there for this PC though, but you can check it out. If it's same board, with newer BIOS, then we can use that instead.

Thanks for the image, it's showing ucode (uCU in the middle) for your CPU SLAY7, version 610 is being used. Sorry I should have asked for more initially, I expected the version would tell me which code, but it doesn't. Can you please show new image of HWInfo, close that CPU-z like window and in the main window go to the main large window. On the left click to expand your computer, then to go central processor and expand it, select your CPU and on the right 2/3rd line will be CPUID please take image of that section showing CPUID at 2/3rd line in that area.

[internetexplorer]

Oh, I see. So, that's how it works. Here is it.

Thanks, that's weird! It's picking up your CPU correctly, giving correct ID, but that microcode used (610) is not in the BIOS, nor is your CPUID 10676. Maybe that gets loaded by windows, I knew Win10 does this, but maybe just never seen older windows do that since BIOS usually either has correct microcode's for the CPU or it wont boot. What windows are you using anyway? If it's win8-10 that explains it.

See, here is all the CPU microcodes in your BIOS dump, doesn't even have your CPUID and due to that I was actually surprised it's booting. I checked BIOS with several tools to confirm too, those are the only ones in there.


It's OK, I'll update all these and include correct one for your CPU too.
In your current BIOS, you can set memory CAS Latency correct? Asking to verify if what it shows is actually visible to you now for that setting (At advanced chipset setup)

[internetexplorer]

Wow. I'm using windows 10. So, theoretically my computer should not be booting? Haha. I bet that it's just only that the manufacturer by their time did not account for the future's windows 10 but windows 10 accounted for them. Our previous Motherboard also does not support the os but we ran w10 on it and nothing's a problem. Only that it broke down few days earlier that's why we shifted to this motherboard, the only one available to our reach. Okay, much luck!

Edit:

Yes I can set memory CAS Latency which has the options for By speed,1,2,3,4,5 clock

[Lost_N_BIOS]

That explains it then, win10! That's the only windows system I've ever seen load it's own CPU microcodes, due to the Spectre/Meltdown stuff, I know older XP/Vista/Win7 could but they never did back then (maybe now due to those issues too). It's still a bad manufacturer BIOS, if they originally sold with those CPU's, as I said I'm surprised it can boot to BIOS (windows aside)

Here is Mod BIOS for you! I enabled lots of BIOS settings that were hidden within various sections, and added an entire hidden section too (may not work, if your board does not have the hardware sensor or controllers). I also updated all CPU microcodes and added 2x 10676 for your CPU

[internetexplorer]

Wow. Hey. I'm very much delighted! So, continuing what I was doing, this rom you made will be the one I would place in the flash drive I made the DOS image with right?

[Lost_N_BIOS]

I don't know about that? Just use same tool and same method you used when getting the backup, but use command above instead. I see you mentioned using the x64 version, so here is command with that

afuwinx64.exe upd-ucode2-bcp.rom /p /b /k

If there is a problem with the BIOS name too long, you can edit it short, like biosmod.rom or biosmod.bin etc.
just keep name something short and you know is not the original one but modified.
