[EncryptedDataGS]

Hey DeathBringer I have a Gigabyte Z690I Aorus Ultra Plus DDR4 Version with PCIE 5.0 It originally came with F5 version of the bios which works with the Intel Engineering Samples Processor I am using a 12900K ES Processor and I’m trying to use the latest version of F31 that just recently released for my board but I seen that Intel blacklisted the CPU on this board I tried using UEFI Tools to add the microcode to it I’m very unfamilar with bios modding so I’m trying to learn and gain this skill to also help out others that want to be able to use features on their bios that is not supported or available on their Motherboard at the moment I’m doing everything I can to get the latest bios f31 to work with my Intel 12900K ES CPU if anyone has any tools that they can provide or mention in the comments that would be greatly appreicated thank you again

I have uploaded the latest bios version as well if you want to take a look and see what you can do

Post a screenshot of CPU & Mainboard tabs of CPU-Z with supported BIOS.

Have a hardware programmer to recover BIOS?

Have a hardware programmer to recover BIOS?

The only thing I have is a CH341A but I also got Q Flash Integrated in the board and the IO Port that has bios flashback to restore a bios bin rom from the USB or does it need to be with the IC Programmer only?

[DeathBringer]

Q-Flash can't flash modded firmware.
You need to find the way to recover BIOS.
I make mods only.

Alright then I’ll use the CH341A my bad I had a typo

[DeathBringer]

OK. Try to flash my mod.

Yo man your a legend bro it worked I used Q Flash and it booted to f31 bios I’ll screenshot and show you as well thank you man

I think I went over my limit on my attachments sadly but yeah bro it’s working and it’s much more stable on the newest bios

Hey bro I was wondering I’m trying to use my GTX 970 is it possible to get the PCIe lanes to work on this ES CPU for my Graphics Card possibly NVME is disabled as well
