Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

Hiya
Firstly where is BIOS data physically stored?
I'd like to dump and flash using CH341A programmer and SOIC8 clip as I've previously done on other laptops but on this laptop the resultant dump using flashrom is too small, only 1Mb and not recognized in usual AMI BIOS tools or any other tools.
I dumped ROM using ftpw and the size was good, around 6Mb like Asus official, and the dump could be opened in AMIBCP.exe

So I guess I'm attaching SOIC8 clip to wrong chip?
Circled in red is the chip I clip
bios chip?

I'd like to open up the menus and see if ROM is stable with removal of ME via me_cleaner.

Current ROM can be found here GL502VMAS304.zip
The valid dump I created:  dump-from-fptw.rom
Bad dump: dump-from-ch341A.rom

I searched the forum and a very similar GL702VM (just bigger screen I think) seems to have menus opened up and a GL502VS (GPU is 1070 rather than 1060) has it's own thread with good work done.

Bios size is 8mb but your dump bios is 1m , so i guess you read error chip(EC??).
Its name should like w25q64fvssig or mx25l64xxx ,you can re-search correct bios chip again in motherboard.

Thanks. I had another look and found the right chip (W25Q64FVSIQ) and now the clip read/writing is working. 
I've upgraded my ME firmware then killed the ME with me_cleaner and reflashed and the laptop is running fine.

I might play around with AMIBCP.exe later on and see what's usefull to enable in there.

Hi, I absolutely hate the BIOS that comes with the Asus ROG GL502VM. It's needlessly bloated, has barely any options even in "advanced" mode, and is all-around just a mess. I am trying to do some things, and I can't find half of the settings I need in the BIOS menu. That is why I am asking all of you lovely folks if you might be able to help me out? Any help would be appreciated!

I also saw someone request images of all currently available pages in BIOS, so here they are just in case

I would like to be able to unvervolt or just have full access to the cpu secs so i can get better battery life. Wold also be nice to be able to use the integrated GPU instead of the power hungry 1060. I saw some other posts for similar laptops, but they never matched completely in either bios version or laptop model. I'm new to this whole scene so any help with the processes of dumping bios/installing the new bios would be helpful.
