    I do ask the same, will it work with ICH10R/ICH9R motherboards ?
    And what about those P67,P68,Z68 MotherBoards - how do we do the same ( replace optionrom on UEFI based motherboards )

    10.5.1.1070 works good on gigabyte x58a-ud3r rev.2.0. I've tested with 4Tb RAID0 maid of 4 HDDs. (I've modded FH1 JZ bios). Do not forget to use 10.6.0.1002 RST driver. Good luck!

    But I am sure X58 has no problem to have 120kByte Intel ROM, every ROM similar size does not work at P5Q series ...

    I am affraid 10.5.1.1070 will crash on size issue or HW incomatibility :-( ...

    I am thinking about testing it, but I have RAID 0+5 full of data at both P5Q series, so I am affraid of test it

    Can anyone test it please ?

    Any (practical) reason why i should update the option roms for my NVIDIA MCP73PV motherboard, i could update my boot.rom i never use, onboard grahics i never use and onboard sata contoller option rom i never use, these option roms are just the UI that is displayed isn't it. No real change to functionality on the chipset is it?

    I tried with my P5Q Pro. The boot rom refuses to load.

    It enhances the support for larger disks. Also, for intel, the raid speed actually depends on the boot rom, especially the rebuilding speed of raids.

    Intel RST 10.5.1.1070 option rom works beautifully on my Asus Maximus III Gene and EVGA P55Micro (both with Intel P55 chipset). The Intel RST Utility can load without any problems.

    Being a more adventurous person, I tested the 10.5.1.1070 on my Asus P5Q WS and it works fantastic although all other 10.5.x.xxxx did not work on my motherboard. Note that I currently am running a raid 0 array so I can't speak for any other configuration, also I built my raid array with the 10.1.0.1008 rom so that may contribute to my success. I also thought that the size was a good identifier that the rom would work but the fact that it now works with a 120kb rom over previous working 60-80kb roms I don't believe that any more. I hope this helps. Also I would like to thank who ever started this thread its been great to get the practical info for updating ones bios.

    Also, the new v10.6.0.1002 driver along with the new rom, at least in my case, seems to have speed up my system noticeably over previous versions, I didn't run any benchmarking tools but I can definitely say it has a lot less latency when opening folders and loading programs or games.

    10.5.1.1070 does not work on P6T. I almost bricked my board as it did not load intel rom and could not go to ALT-F2 to reload working bios. Removing battery solved all ;)

    at 99% cases this is not necessary.Just switch RAID to AHCI/IDE at BIOS, then flash without any problem.Of course clear cmos is solution too as last option :)

    The boot sequence did not load anything past initial screen.. Blinking cursor was the only thing after device list.

    I can also confirm that the 10.5.1.1070 does NOT work with Asus P6T Deluxe.
    Reset cmos, reflashed - back to normal.

    I'd guess that that we're screwed ^^ Newer versions of the Intel raid orom, seems to be larger then our mainboard (Asus P6T Deluxe) can support.
