Kets ultimate mainboard BIOS mods

[Ket]

I think the title goes a good way to explaining everything. I certainly won't be churning out BIOS mods like sweets due to sheer time involved in these kinds of mods. It takes a lot of effort finding the latest O-ROMs, so any competent BIOS modder feel free to help out.

The purpose in this thread is to effectively disect and fix things manufacturers can't be arsed to do, you'll understand what I mean by this as the thread (hopefully) progresses.

RULES - Yes, there are rules for this thread, violators will be shot or reported to admins, whichever is easier

- Feel free to make mod requests
- NO slamming, bashing, flaming of any kind. This is about helping as many mobos in need as possible regardless of their stature.
- Stay ON TOPIC. Its going to be hard enough chasing around this thread as it is if it gets popular.

Ok, I think thats all thats needed.

First project will be for the Maximus II Formula. Other BIOS modders feel free to chip in on the same project or undertake any mod requests.

The M2F Project Summary:

This project will address many issues, which are not limited to just this board, but a common fault of all boards. If additional issues are identified, they will be addressed as and when a updated O-ROM can be found.

Issues To Be Addressed:

- P6 microcode table
- Compatibility memory table
- ICH10R Intel option ROM
- Marvell 88SE6121
- SATA, IDE, & SDD issues

Thats glossing over the task so not to overload anyones brain too much, understanding all the details can be quite daunting.

What To Expect:

By addressing the above issues you can expect:

- Better FSB clocking
- Better memory compatibility
- Possibly better memory OCing
- Possibly better CPU OCing (overall frequency)
- Better HDD Read / Write results
- Resolved RAID problems
- Lots of SSD issues resolved
- Faster boot times
- Probably all-round better system performance

When the BIOS is complete, regardless of the board, you can consider it to be the most pimped out BIOS the board will ever have. Each Project will also be based on the latest available BIOS. As far as my skills go, I can only attempt mods for BIOSes that are AMI.

DISCLAIMER! ALL MODIFIED BIOSES WILL BE MADE TO THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE STANDARD BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO TEST THEM. YOU TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY IN YOUR CHOICE TO USE THE MODIFIED BIOSES.
