bios for asus s96s laptops... im searching all their old bios updates *from other sites not asus* looking for the holy grail. what i was interested in was the afudos version...
How about "Rampage streamline" or "Maximus Bigbios" or one thats been done i think is "Max rampage" or another is "rampage little chip"
does the es on afudos versions mean "engineering sample" as in unlocked switches?
Stilt, does afudos 2.11 has the Afudos /ixxxx.rom /pbnc /n option?? i think i found 1 but havent got time to try out yet.

Tried both the afudos versions from ZenEffect and can confirm there ES allright !!
They support the switches we need to do this.
But it doesn't work.
i get .. (command: afudos /iloader.rom /n)
------------------------------------------------
Reading file ....... done
Reading bios ....... done
Advance Check ..............
_
--------------------------------------
And thats it doesn't do anything more so i think they either don't support these bios file's or the chip it needs to be flashed in.
For the record i am willing to test if this works on my P5E :)
smokey can u try the afudos 2.11.... in the link i given it says it support the option that is needed...
Hi, just a question
I've got the BISO 907 now and my Vista is in an array of 4 Raptor in Raid0.
If I update the BIOS does it will break my RAID?
Thanks for the answer
you have to set RAID again in BIOS after updating. But that's all.
i believe i may have found the mother load.

Seeing as no 1 will comment on bios 217 I can assume its no better?
Forget it, thought you meant afudos. Bios 217? Where is it?
by the time i afudos that is an engineering version, i will be able to read chinese :p:
on the asus website i think it shows the board will be released with 0215 so i think 0214 beta is all we will get untill release and etailers are showing expected stock on the 28th
I might have a newer version tomorrow.
did anyone take notice of what Everest is calling the board?
http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/f...inger/rms2.jpg
Yeah, my Everest has always called it that, since bios MF0505 (or that is when I noticed it...).
everest
well, ive searched for 8 hours non stop today for either an engineering version or 2.27... my search is about 10% done and im wiped out. more searching when i get home, ive got a headache from this :(
i think it would be easier to just mod the 2.21es version i posted to work with the newer bios'
i gotta throw everything in flexhex to see how different the code is between 2.21es and 2.26. my guess its just a little update between the 2 and some features disabled (not removed)
comparing the 2 i hope to find how to either enable the switches for later versions or update the microcode for the bios'
People !!
Does any one increased his OC because of the Rampage Burning ??
Post your Results before and after turning to the Rampage
I doubt that ES denotes an engineering version. From 2.21es above:

the versions i posted when used like

shows the (es) in dos, the 2.32 from the asus ftp does not show this. the ones that DID show it in dos you could use the switches, this is what i based my (es) theory on
@ kup
so what did you get your common performance level to?
with this mod
Your motherboard isn't x48
why do it?
more voltage?
or juste for see Rampage on valids
If you'd read the thread you'd know the benefits...
The performance goes up, as does overclockability for most people. And this is only with the initial Beta Rampage bios...
@kup,
can you link me to that anardtech article with the rampage settings explanation?
@kup & Zen,
are you using 214 or 207 rampage bios with those perf levels?
Best New BIOS for 0219:D
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3006/...0c3b7d7a_o.jpg
http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3208
And I'm on 0207 atm, will try 0214 (and now maybe 0219) tomorrow.
Apparently the idea I put forward of just renaming the Rampage bios to FORMULA.ROM and corrupting the bios and then using CrashFree does work...Quote:
I accidentally found a more simple way things can be foolproof part of the upgrade with the Friends of the Raymond almost to the file name changed fourmula.rom rampageformula
然後執行afudos /iloader.rom And the implementation of afudos / iloader.rom
更新到一半就會停掉...沒關係(硬關機都可以) Half will be to update turns off ... It does not matter (hardware can be shut down)
機器重開.就會跳到AI-OP工程讀取模式AI-OP MODE Machines reopened. Skip to the AI will read works-OP mode AI-OP MODE
會自動搜尋USB跟光碟剛剛不是有把RF的rom更名為formula.rom嗎 Will automatically search USB is not just a CD-ROM with the RF formula.rom renamed the rom?
AI-OP會自動讀取並更新BIOS AI-OP will be automatically read and updated BIOS
更新完會自動重開就會變成RF 2.07版了.... End update will be automatically re-opened, it will become the RF version 2.07 ....
無意中發現的....大家不用怕.用力刷下去就是了 Inadvertently found .... we do not have to fear. Forced Brush on yourself
Tell you what, it's late here and I've got WU to complete and submit but I'll test it tomorrow, because I can flash back to the Rampage bios if it fails.
Taking the plunge tonight! :p:
hey guys check it out
http://forum.pcdvd.com.tw/showthread.php?p=1080811005
looks like these Taiwanese folks are talking about the same thing we are...
wish i could understand whats being said, all i see are a bunch of question marks where their should be letters/words
Sorry for the Double post guys but Stilt, Once the ASUS Pinotnoir bios comes out on the FTP, Do you think you can do the Maximus extreme to Pinotnoir since they are the same board, I just looked over the pictures and my Maximus Extreme. They are the same, Just the things on the ASUS Pinotnoir are different colors, same PCB and same design and same everything, i looked over it all.
so the pinot-noir is literally a maximus formula just w/ a red pcb ?
I think the Pinot Noir is a DDR3 board. It is also said to be an NV chipset (790i) based platform. ROFL.
Just had my first random reboot in several days since going to the Rampage bios. The only change to the system is the addition of a X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty.
I've been searching but is it known to cause any problems like reboots?
holy crap i found a 2.29ES afudos :shocked:
im going to test it RIGHT NOW! :D :D :D :D :D
Link?
well guys here it is... the mystical afudos that guy wouldnt share.
confirmed 100% working, im back to maximus formula (need to reinstall windows though)
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...76/unicorn.jpg
tested over 100 different downloads to find it but i got it! (tested most of it at work :P)
so if you ever are looking for the engineering versions, you can test afudos in windows command prompt for the version with afudos /h
look for the (ES) and you got gold :D
ZENEFFECT!!!
:worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:
(i was looking for many hours today too.... may i ask where you finally found it???)
Anyone got the 0219 BIOS?
ZenEffect for President !!! :up:
Now working on my "new" P5E -> Maximus Formula -> Rampage Formula :eek: :D
There only a few thing you have to know :
- In the bios there is an 2nd LAN controller wich isn't on the board.
- You got the "light" options wich aren't on the board.
- LCD Poster options wich isn't on the board.
BUT !!! you got a hell of a lot options more to overclock the hell out of your board !!!
So in short ! P5E to Rampage --- Works !!!! (with 2.29ES afudos)
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...Capture-18.jpg
Untweaked!
Im liking it.... to Stilt thanks a ton man. And to ZenEffect... Thanks for the new AFUDOS :)
:up: :up: :up: :up: :up:
More to come
Will this Maximus Formula discontinue?
Why newegg deactivated this Mobo?
http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813131227
Well did the flash and it was successful. However, cpu-z and everest both report the mobo as the Formula when the Rampage is obviously loaded. Did I miss a step?
That was it...thanks!! Now at Performance Level 7 with 8GB's @ 1066mhz. Nice...:D
So to do this change back and forth between Rampage and Maximus you now only do the steps that The Stilt described in the OP with the AFUDOS version that ZenEffect provided and everything is good and working?
If you have found a solution finally to revert plz do post it on first post
so as to be clear with all details. Thanx anyway!
Yeah be good if someone could post how to go back and forth between the two , as i am an AFUDOS noob
With AFUDOS 2.29ES running the .bat files is unneccessary.
Just use AFUDOS /ifilename.rom /pbnc /n
@ChaosMinionX i remembered the problem you had with dividers.
Are everything ok with 'rampage'?
anyone found bios 0219 yet ?
Not yet but Bios 214 is working good though. :)
Just use EZ-flash in bios and flash with 214 ?
well yeah..it seems that you only need to do this.
wow !! :shocked: great done mate :up:
Is this mod working with Maximus Extreme?????:confused:
And also the reverse is done with same engineering version?
everything is in place within seconds...
flashed, cleared Cmos and maximus becomes rampage ;)
back to the old days of PAT flashing boards...got to love it :)
Ahh this is simply fantastic! Thanks to everyone! This no longer being a 1 way street is great. Again, thanks to all you guys for all the research!
PL5 with 1.5Vmch eeeeeeeasy...
same here up and running with 1 command thanks
now back to prime
