E.g.: fptw64 -BIOS -D c:\Backupbios.bin
Will it be OK if I dump bios by chip-programmer? Or i have to make backup by IFP tool?
Please download latest version of BIOS(108) and flash it. Don't forget about FLASH OVERRIDE jumper!

Next step is finding the working method to update ME region.
ME firmware version 7.1.13.1088 has Ivy Bridge support. (E.g. GA-H67A-D3H-B3)
Download Intel ME 7 Firmware Repository Pack & Intel ME System Tools v7.1.
You need 7.1.13.1088_1.5MB_CPT_PRD_UPD file.


Update:
GA-H67N-USB3-B3 has ME firmware version 7.0.4.1197 and it supports Ivy Bridge.
Latest version of BIOS(108) has the same ME firmware version.
After BIOS updating for modding you need to have:
1) working CPU with Ivy Bridge;
2) working external graphics card;
3) chip-programmer (recommended);
4) POST card (recommended).

Nope, with ME ver 7.0.4.1197 bios 108 still not work, CPU is i3-3220, only beep's 4 times and blank screen... will try to update ME to version 7.1.1088, it's my last hope  Shy
Did you used an external graphics card? Have you POST card?

Yes, i used external video, but i haven't PCI-e POST card for a now. I bought one on Aliexpress, it will come in a month (or maybe some later)
I overestimated my skills...

Smile  It's not a problem, the problem is when someone thinks he's all-knowing  Smile

I have successfully found "the working method to update ME region", updated it to ver 7.1.13.1088 but I had to use another file, not 7.1.13.1088_1.5MB_CPT_PRD_UPD but 7.1.13.1088_1.5MB_CPT_PRD_RGN (also from Intel ME 7 Firmware Repository Pack r21) вecаuse Intel FIT can't decompress the first one. 

After this modification mobo works fine with Sandy processor (don't remember the exact model, some sort of one core celeron, 440 maybe), the CMOS setup shows ME Version - 7.1.13.1088, but still doesn't work with 3220 :-( Again just 4 beeps and fall into a coma.

P.S. my i3-3220 is OK, tested with another mobo...

Hi! I found similar m/b with supported Ivy Bridge.
Can you try to made bios mod for supporting Ivy Bridge on Pegatron IPMSB-GS?
Acer IPIMB-AR (produced by Pegatron)

IPIMB-AR has different chipset - B75, but IPIMB-VR has H67.
Make the dump of BIOS chip by a hardware programmer.
