BIOS image for the ASRock Z68 Extreme4 motherboard, made for an 8 MB flash chip and archived as an 8.65 MB RAR. A full chip dump such as this is programmed directly into the SPI flash with an external programmer when the board fails to post after a bad update or flash corruption. Back up whatever is currently on the chip first, as it may contain board-specific data such as the LAN MAC address, and check that the extracted binary is exactly 8 MB to match the chip. Verify the write before reinstalling the board in the system.

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 →
