I don't know the storage driver situation in OS X, i'm sure that in Microsoft Windows if you don't have a RAID system with the V.13.2.0.2134 OROMs (and V.13.2.4.1000 drivers) you can't use it.

The latest IRST AHCI drivers that officially support Intel Z77 chipset are the V.13.1.0.58 with the associated OROMs V.13.1.0.2126, so:

- AHCI storage drivers (and OROMs) have a limited "support" in time,
- RAID storage system is a "little trick" to continue to update OROMs (with U.B.U) and associated drivers in time.

I just installed your BIOS modified by stasio and Mac OS X Yosemite & Mavericks don't seem to mind so far, is there anything I can do to test (Other than boot of course!)?

I don't understand what you said, could you be more clear please? (Sorry for my bad english...)

Anyway, to complete the combination of updates/usefulness i've prepared this one:

Z77-UD5H-F16


In this Stasio Modded version (Intel MEI Firmware included) i've changed the IRST OROMs to the V.13.1.0.2126 and CPU Micro-Code to Rev. 28 for Sandy Bridge and 19 for Ivy Bridge...

This would be useful for Oveclockers that didn't use a RAID storage system.

I don't think anyone can accuse you of having bad english!

I was just pointing out that your mods are working ok on a none RAID system running Mac OS X (Both the current and new beta loaded with the latest Clover in full UEFI mode).

I also wondered if there was anything other than being able to boot and access the disks I could do to test things.

Stasio, whenever it's convenient, would you please upload P67A-UD7: B2=>B3 and B3=>B2? (these were uploaded in the past on xtremesystems, but links seem broken: B2=>B3 http://91.121.148.119/downloads/BIOS/P67aud73.f3h1 , B3=>B2 http://91.121.148.119/downloads/BIOS/p67aud7.f8f1). No rush.
.
B3 F3h seems to be the only BIOS that works well with my B2 mobo and supports PLL overvoltage and LLC+offset, but I'm having minor issues (corruption/MEI I think, due to power loss) and a clear/reflash isn't fixing it, so I'm hoping flashing B2 and then to B3 again might fix it. Thanks for your time, and any help you can provide, I really appreciate it!

So now you are on B3 BIOS?
Want to go back to B2 BIOS?

Edit:
If you are on B3 BIOS....you can flash again any B3 BIOS (no need mod) from my list:

Yes. I'm on B3 and want to go back to B2. I also want to maybe go to B3 again in the future. If its possible for you to re-upload the files, I'd be grateful.

B3 => B2

OK, thanks for these info. :)

I'm glad that everything is working as expected but i don't know OS X because i've never used a machine with this OS and i can't help about focusing a method to make tests other than using software created ad hoc for this purpose.

You can start trying this one: Xbench: Comprehensive Macintosh Benchmarking
