Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 BIOS 3703 with all OROMS/LAN/VGA updated

Thank you very much!
Will try to use your new bios.

Please, can you add the NvME support for using M2 disks with our mobo?
Thank you!

Added NVMe support using this manual.

Download modified 3802 BIOS from HERE.

I just flashed this BIOS, it's working fine, but I don't have a PCI-E SSD, so - please, try it yourself using info from the manual's section 6. "Installation of the OS onto the NVMe SSD".

Good luck

I just want to buy the new M2 disk. I will write back after tests.

Thanks a ton for keeping up with this board. I do have a request, though - is there any way to alter the BIOS further to address Spectre vulnerabilities? I think ASUS is only going back to the Z97s.

EDIT: Evidently doing this could lead to beaucoup BSODs, so never mind.

Will it work on ASUS ASUS P8Z68-V PRO (none GEN3 ver) ? I think it's the same mobo

I don't think so. GEN3 = PCIe v3.0 support. ASUS ASUS P8Z68-V PRO (none GEN3 ver) supports PCIe v2.0, not v3.0. I'm sure that their BIOSes are not the same.

PROBLEM: When I try to load RaYMaN's latest BIOS from the EZ Flash 2.0 inside the UEFI bios, it reports that the file is not an EFI Bios file. It also cannot read the Model, Date or Version of the modded file. I have re-downloaded the file, same effect. I have renamed the file to "modded.rom" same effect.

Currently running (for years) ZzBloopzZ's modded Bios from post#7 (his original, not newer one)

My system:
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4.6 Ghz AIRCOOLED and ROCK stable for years even in 85deg room
Giant copper heatsink + fan (don't remember which, but major brand)
16Gb (4x4Gb) DIMM DDR3 Corsair
OCX Vertex3 256GB SSD (boot drive)
2x WD 2TB data drives configured as Raid Mirrors

I don't know what your problem is.

So sorry. Two words: NTFS and FAT32

Can read now. Mea Culpa

EDIT: What generates that last screenshot?

No problem

The last screenshot shows UEFI BIOS Updater v1.69.16 tool with OROMs versions that the modded BIOS have. You can read about this tool HERE.
