Hey Ozlacab,
I tried the Gigabyte BIOS that you suggested in a 3330 (Popeye) board that dropped into my hands recently. I could not get the CH314a clip-on connection to work, so I removed the chip with a heat gun. Then I had trouble with ASProgrammer at the Verify stage, so I switched to NeoProgrammer which worked first time. I noticed that it took 2-3 times longer for it to write to the chip compared to ASP. Maybe this is an important difference? Anyway, it booted up and everything seems to be working great. The cpu and sys fan speeds are much higher compared to the HP bios, but I can solve that. I now have a i7-3770K running in my Popeye board. Thanks for sharing this find. I also have a Cupertino board that I could not get a bios update(s) to work, so I will try using NeoProgrammer to make the bios chip when I find the time.
