ASUS Z97V-UNLOCKED

BIOS .rar 851 KB Shared

BIOS archive for an ASUS Z97V motherboard marked UNLOCKED, which usually means a modified or unlocked image rather than stock firmware. The name does not say what was unlocked, so treat it carefully. Inspect the contents before use. Such images are written to the SPI chip with an external programmer, for example to revive a board after a failed update. Dump and save the original chip first, since it holds board-specific data, and confirm the image size matches the flash capacity.
