BIOS X79 E5-V306 LGA1356 W25Q64 BIOS

BIOS .rar 2.63 MB Shared

BIOS image for a Chinese X79-branded server-style board marked E5-V306 with an LGA1356 socket, intended for a W25Q64 flash chip, archived as RAR. The W25Q64 is an 8 MB (64 Mbit) Winbond SPI chip, so the extracted image should be exactly 8 MB. Technicians flash it with an external programmer and clip when the board will not start after a failed update. Back up the existing contents before writing, and verify the board marking because these generic boards come in many look-alike variants.
