ASRock 2nd and 3rd gen P67/Z68/Z75/Z77 Microcode Updates

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Please request microcode updates here.
Due to recent support for Ivy Bridge, most P67/Z68 boards should have latest microcode available. If you are unsure, just post below.

How I work
You request the BIOS mod for the motherboard you want below. Then I will immediately start working and release it here. The implementation has been tested locally on a ASRock P67 PRo3. All other motherboards should roughly accept it the same way.

Feel free to ask me to check if your microcode is up-to-date.

Disclaimer
If your motherboard happens to die or dies flashing or a corrupt BIOS mod occurs. You are on your own. Buy a new BIOS chip and replace your old one. Keep the old BIOS chip and make sure you put a default BIOS on that old chip so you can always have a back up in case anything goes wrong.

A website or online shop that sells these chips is: http://www.bios-service-center.com/

I am not responsible for bricking your board.

Downloads (with last checked date)
ASRock P67 Pro3 SE (17/05/2012)
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 (17/05/2012)

officially up-to-date
unofficially up-to-date
outdated


Installation instructions
Before flashing undo any memory overclocks or other unstable overclocks if present.

1. Use the DOS/X86/X64 tool you want. If using windows I suggest you use Aptio tools.
2. Only select the BIOS. Don't touch any other settings.
3. Flash

To use the commandline tool. Figure out yourself. I flashed thousand times from Windows without bricking.

Donation
Donation is always welcome. If you wish to donate me for my work please don't hesitate. I am putting a lot of effort in programming the micro code updates and doing other updates.

This guide will teach you how to do it yourself partially or make it easier.

Tools required

Pack download: here (May 2012)
- microcodedecode (in case link ever dies)
- flashing tools
- phoenix tool

Modules with microcode
The hardest part is finding the module containing the microcode. Watch out. Don't overwrite microcodes with 2000 bytes of size with microcode of 2400 bytes of size.
