Thanks TheWiz, I was able to flash the BIOS this evening. Here are some screen shots of it on my hotel TV. I will begin to play with the options on Friday. The flash went without a hitch. I used an older bios to open WinPhlash, and just selected the modded ROM. It programed without any issues on the first attempt.
Advanced Option Menu
Thermal Config 1
Thermal Config 2
Thermal Config 3
IGD-LCD
IGD-LCD 2
Memory Submenu
PCI-E Menu
Sata Control Menu

Hey thanks for the pics! Kizwan and myself are working on tracking some of the options and menus for QPI and memory that still aren't showing, as well as disabling the check so that all CPUs can use the extreme OC function regardless of whether they are extreme CPUs or not. More on that to come, so kep your test lab warm

Sounds awesome, I catch a flight back home in a 5 hours and have some time off Friday. I'll also have all my other CPU's tools, and and 40GB benchmarking SSD with my slim benching OS. Looking forward to it!

I am hoping this weekend. I was going to release it as is but I think I can enable all of the CPUs to use those OC features instead of just the XM, plus fix the Intelligent Power Sharing menu that doesn't show so that we can release it with a punch

LOL, I just meant that I want to get the OC push option and the Intelligent power sharing menu unlocked before I release it. The BIOS authors wrote some functions to disable using the options that we are circumventing.
