BIOS GA-H81M-S REV 2.X

BIOS .rar 2.77 MB Shared

BIOS archive for the Gigabyte GA-H81M-S desktop motherboard, revision 2.x, packed as a 2.77 MB RAR. The H81 chipset places this board in the Intel Haswell generation, and the image is meant for recovery when the board no longer posts after a failed update or corrupted flash. Extract the binary and write it to the SPI chip with a programmer such as a CH341A. Confirm the revision silkscreened near the PCIe slot reads 2.x, since 1.0 boards use different firmware, and save a copy of the original chip contents first.
