Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source - [PAID][REQUEST] Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z Advanced Menu

Hey everyone!

I have an Asus Maximus IV Extreme -Z that I use for both work and gaming. Currently, I have a Perc H200 (LSI SAS2008) that prevents me from accessing my BIOS when installed. On older motherboards (or more advanced) there was a setting labeled INT 13h, which in shorthand, would correct issues like this when dealing with SAS or SCSI controllers.

Unfortunately, the latest BIOS doesn't have any advanced options - as this is a motherboard aimed toward gaming, and not so much a workstation.

Now I'll say this, why not just replace the SAS controller with a different model? Well, my entire PC is water cooled, and uses hard acrylic lines, which makes it a giant PITA to remove/replace components. I had a Perc 5 before this, which was replaced to a Perc 6 ( which had this exact same issue) before moving to a H200.

The BIOS is UEFI:

I'm running on 3603 currently, which seems to be the only one that supports my RAM.

I'm willing to compensate anyone who's able to unlock an advanced menu (if one exists), even if enabling INT 13h doesn't correct the problem.

Hello nateleduc,

i found a Advanced Menu in the Bios but it seems already enabled.

You are correct, but "advanced" isn't what I'd consider it. It doesn't contain a whole lot in terms of system tweaking or resource management. I'm still tinkering with the SAS controller as well, to see if I can correct it on the other end of the problem

Are there any other menu's that are disabled?

Hey,

i fond some hidden sub-menus. i unlocked them.

Please be careful. Undecided

I will not be held responsible for anything that may go wrong with your BIOS, and by downloading a modded bios you are held responsible for what you choose to do with it.

No worries. Dual Bios!!!! I'll flash it to BIOS #2 and give it a test. I'm working ATM, or I'd test it now.

I'll let you know if the AM!
