Description

This is a BIOS dump for a desktop motherboard, supplied as a ZIP archive of about 4.4 MB under the original file name Z68 Extreme4(2.20)ROM.zip. The file name suggests a Z68 Extreme4 board with BIOS version 2.20, but the listing does not give a brand, board number or revision, so confirm those against the board in front of you. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update.

Questions about this file

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: Z68 Extreme4(2.20)ROM. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.

What does “clean ME” mean?

The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
