ASUS Z97V-UNLOCKED

BIOS .rar 806 KB Shared

Modified BIOS for the ASUS Z97V motherboard, labelled unlocked, which usually means hidden menus or restricted options have been enabled; supplied as an 806 KB RAR. Such an image is normally written to the SPI flash chip with an external programmer like a CH341A when the board will not boot or the firmware is damaged. Dump and keep the original chip contents first, verify the image size equals the chip capacity, and note that unlocked settings can affect stability if misused.
