Can we have it for Maximus Hero too?

Are you ok with doing it yourself...the tool is easy to use. I cant post links for some reason but just search Google for UBU tool and it will be the first hit. it is a guide written by Fernando who himself is a genius. If you cant do it pm me your exact mobo model and revision # if there is one and all system spec and i will do it for you as soon as i can. Are you running raid 0? Read the thread and decide what you want modded.

great job. such beta version should be increased. debug LEDs can show the CPU temperature. this can be done?.

That is something i would not touch even if i knew how as those codes are generated for troubleshooting. You would have to ask that question in the Fernando's Win-RAID Forum

I reccomend on my tests update only raid rom. But updating raid rom have to destroy raid arry for compatibility. its canbe work without wipe raid.
On my tests its super scary on VII boards what i learned to mod bit bios. Since these boards not with dual bios chips eeprom programmer dosent work even if you make backup from working chip.

2th bios structure made me scare to if i saw how that work updating microcode is only for boot in wndows its use something else like 19 version for boot and 1A in windows so basicly you have use new microcode A1 with TSX enabled. I not reccomend to update anything witch not raid rom. Even bios include 2 roms for intergated vbios.

3th I reccomend dont mod too mutch its end up with problems. I had to restore bios by using jumper on my VII hero to get rid of problems what caused by updating something.

So by now i stay away from UBU i not want to get problems back. There is no way to recover bios by using tools like programmer. If you run to problems you have send to rma repairs or ask asus for new flashed bios chip for your mobo. Ebay or other places flashed chips dosent work so your pc dont boot or post. Even if you use hardware programmer witch made from working chip backup its not help you also.
