Just to confirm what aGeoM has stated regarding modded BIOSes... I went ahead and flashed one of my modded ones to my MSI Titanium yesterday
(used the original v1.10 BIOS that my board shipped with, which is the only BIOS I've been using since it worked fine, even with my RAM @ 3200).
Thankfully everything went just fine! :)
Points of interest:
- SubTimings indeed are currently non-Adjustable on that BIOS version, at least with how I went about making them visible (ticking them all as USER for Access), but I have one last idea... doubt it'll work though. They DO show up, and tell you what they're set to, which (probably unsurprisingly) are different than the Tertiary Timings shown in Mem TweakIt.
- CPU VDDP allows for entering values, even has a Help that indicates the Default (says 1.050V), Low and Max, but since I don't know how to verify that I have no idea if the 1.070V I set is has actually applied.
(I think that HWiNFO's VIN6 under the motherboard might be the VDDP, but I have no evidence and it's a shaky theory at best. After fresh boot it hovers around only 1.000V, but after waking from Sleep it is sticking at 1.048V. Lots of odd stuff happens post-sleep so it's hard to determine things then just due to that.) If anyone knows of a way to figure out what CPU VDDP is running at, let me know.
- The thing that bummed me out the most was that due to these BIOSes full on GUI (at least MSI's specifically), the menu structure inside AMIBCP is very oddly laid out. Additionally, there is no way in the actual BIOS to navigate to these other 'un-hidden' menus (though, now after I've had sleep it just dawned on me that the "Search" feature may turn them up). There are plenty of additional menus listed as you can see, but only the
highlighted menus are
directly accessible (MFlash is as well of course, but that's not really a 'menu' seeing as it's an option that reboots the system):

In the old Award BIOS editor (the cmd prompt one), it allowed you to easily select a menu category and then literally cut-and-paste it elsewhere. The newer AMIBCP versions do not provide that ability at all, which is not only kinda sad given it's a full GUI, but also because v5.xx EXE size is 11MB >_> What's all that code for if it can't even provide drag-and-drop? v4.55 was only 500KB and it offers the exact same functionality *shrug* ANYways... the unfortunate nature of this means I'm unable to do the other primary thing I had wanted to accomplish through modding, which was to enable the PState overclocking options that are tucked inside the
OTHER "Advanced" menu (the one with the [+] not the one above '[+]Overclocking'). Sadly, with my skillset (no hex editing know-how) I'm unable to shuffle options around like I had hoped. There are empty spaces, but they're all tied together, and I an't edit the "Handle". So when I changed one space, every empty space on that page mirrored it :( Oh well...
Thinking bout flashing the 1.41beta (that was pulled). I don't now if the BCLK was visible by default since I never flashed their version, but I did mod it to
ensure it's visible ^_^ We shall see how daring I feel. They pulled all their Betas due to a "flaw in the microcode", but what exactly that means I haven't a clue...
