As some of you may or may not know, I do a bit of bios modding on the side. I finally tried my hand at Ryzen bios modding with my new board. Turns out Gigabyte had a lot of disabled functions in its menus that I could simply toggle on. A whole lot, actually.
This is the latest F6f beta bios with a lot more options enabled. It may/may not be safe, especially some of those options (some of them look scary, frankly). It's a dual-bios board yes, but needless to say if you turn off all your usb ports and suddenly can't type (something you can do, actually) I'm not responsible.
Oh, and in that event, pull your CMOS batt or be a man and get a real PS/2 keyboard.
anyhow, here it is:
Main features:
Added P-State Control (However, I have no idea whether these menu options work or not, or how to use them) EDIT: Doesn't work. Woo.
Enabled some CPU C-state and other odd options (BCLK spread spectrum, NX etc). Some of this is found under Chipset->South Bridge->In the various debug menus.
Added a few SATA power saving options, ability to turn on/off per port control (EDIT, per port control is broken), hotswap settings, etc. Mostly found in the debug menus mentioned above.
A lot of stuff Gigabyte had turned off. I have no idea what it does.
There is a frog related easter egg somewhere.
Have fun and remember, it's not my fault!
UPDATE: 06/07/17:
Updated bios to latest F6g, and did the following:
Removed some options that seemed dangerous or proved non-functional.
Added PS/2 enabled/disable, some PXE options, ability to force UEFI-setup on next boot
