Hi, why using a MODDED Bios and NOT a OFFICIAL version ? What are the Benefetit of this Operation ?

[restsugavan]

Modified BIOS had recently Intel microcode protection against Intel " Downfall " vulnerable issue.

It always contain update modules of firmwares that bring more performance than original BIOS. 🎁😃🎁

I have some issues when powering down the machine completely and disconnecting from the wall, on next boot it does multiple boots and finally prompts for F1 to restore the BIOS settings. Is this a symptom of a bad battery. My board VRM is watercooled so no easy way to take it out. 😞 I've been trying to play around with memory settings and boot voltages etc but nothing seems to be helping. Can't measure the battery without taking it all out.

Install HWiNFO and check your battery there

Thanks, mine shows 3.168 as minimum. So it might not be cause of the issue 😞 I wonder how accurate this reading is though.

Well..noticed the Windows clock has always also stopped to the time of powering down the PC completely so it still sounds related...need to find time to take it all out, not anytime soon though.

Hello,

For what it costs and the age of the system it's probably worth changing anyway. Certainly sounds like the issue if it's not retaining date & time.
