Morning gentlemen. Keep your eyes peeled for a edit to this post if you are a P5Q, P5Q Pro, P5Q-E, P5Q Deluxe, or a P5Q Premium user. I'll be uploading some modded BIOSes based on the latest available.
Here you go, one link containing all the modded BIOS files. See the release notes for your BIOS for full details. Now, obviously, I don't own any of these boards so haven't been able to test the BIOSes, but there shouldn't be any problems. As always feedback is welcome.

Hi Ket,
Thx for the new BIOS'es :)
Tested for P5Q-E:
- flashed from pure DOS
- new Intel Boot ROM works
- new Marvel Boot ROM works
- RAID0 setup was restored as soon as I changed default controller settings from IDE to RAID - no problems there
- Windows Booted without problems
I didn't test OC - just reporting to say that the BIOS file didn't nuke motherboard and controllers :)
One thing - USB format tool supplied by you don't have DOS bootable disk (for ex. Win98) on it, so it will only format your drive without writing bootable files on it. So either users must search for Win98 disks for themselves or use another method (I've used my Bootable Hiren CD for DOS).
That's all. Thx again Ket.
Good stuff Corey :up: I'm sure theres lots of P5Q Series owners out there who will be interested to know your OC results! My bad on the DOS boot files I forgot to include them :yawn:

The M2F BIOS has lots of changes with more to come as I get to identify modules better. Currently the things that have been changed are;
- M2F P6 CPU table replaced with Rampage Formula 1001 P6 table
- M2F memory table replaced with Rampage Formula 1001 memory table
- Intel SATA RAID ROM updated to 9.6.0.1014
- Marvell 88SE6121 Option ROM updated to 1.1.0.L73
Theres more I want to do, but like I said I need to learn how to identify modules better first.
when ever I try to update your new modded bios for p5q-e ,I keep getting something like :could not something rom file. I do but in what you say to write, AFUDOS.EXE /iM2F2202M.ROM /PBNC /N ,but will not update.
That'll be a typo in the readme. You need to enter the filename of your BIOS. In your case what you need to type in is; AFUDOS.EXE /iP5QEM.ROM /PBNC /N
ok I see ,but in the last couple of minutes tryed flashing using this: AFUDOS.EXE /iP5QEM.ROM and it flashed ok ,should i reflash using /PBNC /N at the end .and thankyou for your help.
I would yes otherwise you may not reap the full rewards :) Just remember after flashing your BIOS with the /PBNC /N switches you may need to reset your CMOS ;)
well when i try to flash with: AFUDOS.EXE /iP5QEM.ROM /PBNC /N it fails showing error: unable to open rom file
I can only guess user error. Theres no reason why AFUDOS.EXE /iP5QEM.ROM would work, and not AFUDOS.EXE /iP5QEM.ROM /PBNC /N Very odd indeed.
sorry my fault was typing one of the m small insted of capital all gone great this time .and alls can run all of my 8 gig ddr2 at just over 1000 wich i could not do before,so thanks again.
All in a days work :up:
Thanks for answer..Quote:

The bios works amazing, i had all test with superp, prime, memtest. It works fantastic;)
I just flashed the new ROM for the P5Q PRO, but why did you deleted SLIC 2.1 from out of the first BIOS??
Can you please add this again?
Or is there an easy way to do it by myself?
mmm....I wanted to go back to this BIOS because of SLIC2.1, but it is nog downloadable anymore....does anybody have a mirror?Quote:

I didn't remove any SLIC. The BIOSes I uploaded are based on the latest official ones. Besides, I'd never taint any of my mBIOSes with SLICs from HP, Alienware, or the like. Nevermind the less.. shall we say, "noble" reasons for adding a SLIC.Quote:

Good to see you're still at it Ket. :up:
is there possibility to mod Asus Q Fan section (I have P5Q-e)
I would like better control of CPU and Case fans and if possible PWR fan.
Say controlling RPMs by setting exact number of RPM one would like (like on Biostar Tpower I45 board)
Shoot me a PM if you want to try my latest M2F mBIOS ;) As to all of those asking, the mBIOSes I do for the P5Q series are only for select boards. I did some mBIOSes for a bunch of P5Q boards a long time ago, it was a one off exception.Quote:

:clap:
Nice to see these boards kicking some arse still with some mBIOS love :up:
