Thank You! This New Intel Option Rom 11.5.0.1347 is still dated to 2011 (its working fine on my P8Z68-V PRO). Can somebody confirm that its really newer than 11.1.0.1413?
joker82: This will hardly anyone know if Intel does not see the release notes or do not appear in the new bioses. It should be a new option rom.
It should be from April 2012, because the RST/RSTe drivers with the lower version 11.5.0.1149 have been released at 03/26/2012.
Have you played with this OROM and the latest Asus 3.x Bios for p8p67 and so on ... ??? I´ve read a lot on their forum and other sites and didn´t correctly understand that ... They changed a lot of things. So far i didn´t manage to update my bios with the latest orom and that 3.x bios ... But it looks like the DSDT have been changed and its more user friendly to Hackintosh.
Since I am running 2xCrucialM4 SSD's in RAID0, I am interested to find out, whether the newest Intel RAID drivers v11.5.0.1149 in combination with the brandnew Intel RAID ROM module v11.5.0.1447 do support the TRIM or UNMAP command within a RAID0 environment or not. For this purpose I had already installed the Intel RST(e) drivers v11.5.0.1149. Today I have updated the Intel RAID ROM of the newest BIOS 3304 for my ASUS P8Z68-V from v10.8.0.1303 to v11.5.0.1447 and flashed the "modded" new BIOS 304 into the chip of my board. Everything works fine and smoothly until now!
I did the same with BIOS 3304 for P8Z68-V Pro, and i noticed one thing so far. Rebooting is much slower with the 11.5.0.1149 driver, if i go back to 11.1 one, its much faster (it seems that the driver do something like the old halt command when you reboot, my HDD's will spin up again every reboot - 2x Vertex3 SSD in raid0, 2x 500GB WD raid0, 500GB Samsung).
Wow it sounds good. I will try the same with P8P67 Deluxe. Is the new method of SLIC also working with that bios? Or you didn't played with it yet. Also do you mind to provide the OROM for Gigabyte bios if you have ? i want to try to update one.
@ ygor.almeida: All mainboard manufacturers are using the exactly same PCI ROM modules for their dfferent BIOS types (AMI, Phoenix, Award). So you can use the Intel RAID ROM file v11.5.0.1347 from the linked site for your Gigabyte BIOS without any problems. The only thing you may have to change is the name of the Intel RAID ROM module. I recommend to name it the same way as the PCI ROM module, which is already within your BIOS. That is true. You have to use one of the CBROM tools. Unfortunately Gigabyte didn't follow the CBROM standards while building their BIOS structure. That is very often the reason for a checksum error after trying to flash the "modded" BIOS.
hi everyone! i need help: i need a mod bios 3304 for my ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE (NOT GEN3) i need to include INTEL ROM v11.5.0.1447 can someone help me or create the mod bios? thank you very much!
@ radec.god and gpvecchi: Why do you think, that the Intel ROM update failure has been caused by the size of the OROM module? If there is a size problem, you usually get an error message like "not enough space" while trying to replace the PCI ROM module, but you both obviously ran into troubles after having flashed the "modded" BIOS into the mainboard chip. This may indicate, that the SATA Controllers of your mainboard do not like any newer "firmware" than v10.1.0.1008. By the way: I had no problem to get the newest Intel RAID ROM modules with a size of 119 or 120 KB inserted into your mainboard BIOS. Regards Fernando
Yes. If you want to be 100% sure, that the TRIM command will work with your SSD, I recommend to use the Intel RST driver v11.1.0.1006 and to flash the Intel RST ROM v11.1.0.1413 into your mainboard BIOS.
