Hello, thank you for those files. I have to note that at moment I am running motherboard with only single CPU, secondary cpu is on its way. Such state can have effect on pci lane availability and distribution.

I have question which tool should I use to flash bios with provided bin files from linux, I found these pages, let me know if its ok to use those???:

Ok friend,
I thinked you followed the discussion about your board on all forums.
So the files i provided are originally for the SPI Programmer CH341a, but is possible to flash it using AFUwin64.

It's better to make a bios backup fo safe , so use Afuwinx64 v3.05.04 and make a bios backup, then post the original stock file and i will make a bios mod
NVME using the new module NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs and upload here.

Flash back them using AFUwin64 like Fernando explained here :

https://www.win-raid.com/t6050f16-Reques...#msg104663

So method is decapsulate bios , then modify the rom bios, flash before the .CAP file and then the .ROM file using Afuwinx64 v3.05.04 ...

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjMjdZ6bIhRQhIxwSu9R...g?e=ovddKI

afuwinx64.exe .CAP

afuwinx64.exe .ROM /GAN

I thinks Flashrom too it needs to work too, as it works on SPI lane, but i didn't read about tests on this pc.

So now let me get a link to your original stock bios version or upload it and i will use it to modify for you, but you have to use Afuwinx64 v3.05.04
to get a bios backup for safe, with your data ...

afuwinx64.exe backup.rom /O

Let me know
Regards

P.S. you can use the Bios Mod files uploaded too, but i don't know if these were took as backup from a own pc.
so you will risk to make a cloned pc

Hello BDMaster, thank for patience with me. I got secondary cpu replacement and also installed windows on secondary drive instead of my gentoo linux to be able properly use bios flash software The output backup file is here:

Hi all!
@BDMaster is there a modified bios suitable for all ASUS Z9PE-D8 motherboards? Or each motherboard is unique and needs a separate modified bios?

Please help me with modded bios.
