Any chance this could be done for P55 FTW (E657)? Some guy wanted to do so in the thread below but could not open the bios file in MMTOOL? 
Thanks

(Oh can't post links yet it's m=1530297)



Unfortunately, the EVGA P55 boards seem to use a non-UEFI 4MB AMI BIOS which neither version of MMTOOL is able to open, even after renaming the file. If anyone knows which tool to use, please tell me.

Ugh, should have posted in this before I started a thread.  My bad.
 
Has anyone with the e762 achieved RAID0 TRIM with their SSDs with the modded BIOS from this post?
 
Also, total newb question:  7-zip isn't allowing me to delete the original bin file from EGVA's ISO ("no such interface supported") so I can replace with the new file.  Anyone have any work around for this?
 
Thanks...

So is anyone at least seeing a performance increase from this updated bios? Though, frankly, if you're not, then I would feel a little better that I likely won't get one for my P55, heh.

I got your PM but decided to reply here in the thread so that others with the same issue might benefit.
 
The problem is, you cannot insert anything into the .img file inside of the ISO. I recommend booting from USB and then flashing the BIOS. Instructions on how to make a bootable USB stick can be found here

Considering that anything older than the 7-series chipsets will most likely never get TRIM support for RAID, I wouldn't worry too much about having the latest OROMs. Some of us just need that warm, fuzzy feeling we get from knowing that we're on the bleeding edge, even if it does absolutely nothing ;)

Brilliant.  Thanks again, Henry- I'll get that set up tonight.
 
And thanks for bringing RAID0 TRIM to my 762!

Thanks. This was essentially my hunch. Only reason I truly care about this at all presently is because I am converting my P55 rig to a "starter" home test server and would like to squeeze every drop of performance out of the controller, though I will surely end up with a real RAID card eventually anyway (and a whole diff setup in time).

@Henry,
 
I updated my bios using your last mod for my E759 and something odd has happened. Basically after setting the controller to 'Raid Mode' in bios the boot up process is super fast and when I hit pause to see the disclaimer - instead of 11.6.0.1702 I get the AHCI 1.07.10 loading up. Though I only have one drive in the system right now. Is it defaulting to AHCI? How can I check if 11.6.0.1702 is loaded?
 
Thanks.

Sorry to bump my last reply but IS THERE ANYONE RUNNING AN E759 WITH 11.6.0.1702 SUCCESSFULLY?

Hey dude. That's the correct behavior if you have only one disk installed. The RAID ROM does not get invoked, and that's why it boots a little faster. You can still check your RAID ROM version if you go to the HELP section in the Intel Rapid Storage Technology software and then click on SYSTEM REPORT.

Re:New RAID ROM 2012/10/30 16:39:27 (permalink)
Oh ok. Thanks. I guess since i removed my raid array to save power i didnt notice that the raid rom disclaimer disappeared. Getting a couple ssd's soon to be a secondary drive. cant wait too see the old intel raid rom notice pop up!

Anyhow sorry didn't mean to yell but was wondering if you have tried modding the ahci rom? Win-lite.de has version 1.2E I think. I would try it but too chicken..

Thanks for your quick reply,

Dave.

That just performs manual garbage collection or manually trims the array. Not true trim.

i know trim get passed by OS/driver, but this is needed if someone has the OS installed long time, yet upgraded the BIOS/RAID ROM that supports trim just recently, am i right ?

Sure is needed but you can do with out as performance will degrade. Though there is always manual garbage collection apps or some drives gc when idle.

Re:New RAID ROM 2012/11/22 06:58:07 (permalink)
Happy Thanksgiving Evga Bios modders..  Seems like XMas has come early and Trim support for other chipsets besides 7 series may be possible. I came across this thread where someone found out that changing the hardware raid device ids and their associated flags in the ORom in a hex editor turned on Trim for Z68 boards and possible other older chipsets. Only Z68 confirmed so far. Was wondering is anyone interested in giving this a try? First got to find the alternate raid dev id for an X58 Classy Raid controller. I'm going to try and post my results later...
 
Thanks.

I think there is a link on the first page of the thread but it doesn't make any difference. Trim just doesn't work on the X58 chipset for some reason. Other 5-series boards do work but not for X58.

There is currently no 11.7.x ROM available. Only the 11.7.x driver has been released. I'll update the BIOSes as soon as there's a new ROM :)

I agree with ripperdragon I also am using raid 0 on my x58 class. 3. however
I am using corsair neutron gtx 240's on the Intel ports  0 and 1 the first two black ones
these are my test results.

My modded BIOS has the latest available OROM. I doubt that the X58 chipset will ever get TRIM support, though. Not officially, anyway.

UPDATED 10/15/2012 with latest available ROMs!

Here are the links to all EVGA X58 motherboard BIOS 83 modded by me with the latest available Intel RAID Option ROM 11.6.0.1702, JMicron RAID Option ROM 1.07.28, and Realtek PXE ROM 2.50. Mod tool used is CBROM v.198. The only BIOS I have actually tested is the E75783.bin file, which is for the X58 LE board. All BIOSes should work just fine with these new ROMs, but just like Dejanh, I take absolutely no responsibility for any damage this may cause to your motherboard. Enjoy!

Hey I'm using your e758 bios, but for some reason on post screen the date of my bios says it's 8/25/2011 instead of 9/02/2011?
 
Isn't the 83 bios supposed to be from september and shouldn't that be updated?

8/25/2011 sounds correct. That's when the BIOS was written. It was probably published 9/2/2011, so maybe that's where you got that date. Nothing to worry about. This is and will always be the latest and last ever BIOS update from EVGA for the X58 boards. I will of course keep injecting newer ROMs. So, keep an eye on this thread. I'm sure there will be a new Intel RAID ROM soon (with no TRIM fix for 5-series, haha).
