Desktop BIOS for the ASRock 970 EXTREME3 motherboard, revision 1.01, held in a 3.39 MB RAR archive. The name gives no flash capacity, so confirm the image size inside against the chip on the board. Technicians use such dumps to recover a board with no POST after a failed or interrupted update, writing it with an external SPI programmer. Read and keep the original chip contents before writing, and make sure the revision printed on the PCB is 1.01, because firmware for other revisions may not suit it.

Compressed archive — the usual wrapper for a schematic + boardview pair or a BIOS + EC set.
Back up your own chip before writing any dump, and match the full board number and revision. Flashing guide →
