Tell me do about your custom firmware for mother boards.

Some are mine, some are done by someone else that I'll use or further modify.

Specifically on older generations where modification was possible of course.

Many custom roms for extreme overclocking are actually trade secret, only to be found for team members on request.

Here's an example thread where you can get m.2 support on 1366 x58 boards. A work in progress, but a great example of modding custom roms.

Thank you so much for making a recent thread about this, adding firmware support for x58 boards to native boot nvme drives - w/o needing the samsung 950 pro. So I'd like to request gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R, but i'm not sure if it's possible as these aren't UEFI.... That said, here is where I need...

So no modifications are possible today? But wouldn't it be possible to directly write a modified BIOS to the flash?

Very much like GPUs, the bios is encrypted.

So, you may "unlock" bios features if they where written already but "hidden". Most aftermarket boards these days are not in need of modification.

Well, I would be quite happy to be able to modify the BIOS on my ASUS Proart X750 creator.

For what?
There is nothing about that board that you could possibly need to modify, that it doesn't already have.
Modding bios does not add missing hardware.

You can still mod many modern UEFIs, but the noose is tightening as far as signing. I used to do this a lot on older intel platforms, like 9th gen ME removals, if anyone remembers.
