BIOS firmware for the ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0 motherboard, revision 1.01, in a 9.63 MB RAR archive. The M5A97 series uses AMD's 970 chipset for AM3+ processors. A dump like this is used to recover a board with a corrupted BIOS by writing the flash chip with an external SPI programmer. The name does not say whether it was tested, so dump and keep the original chip contents first, confirm the image size matches the chip capacity and check the revision on the PCB.
