Dammnit!! I Just found this thread today, and would love to use a custom bios for the Asus P8P67-M (not the pro) but have BIOS 3602 installed and it will NOT allow for me to install the custom version posted for this mobo (v1701). Any way you could patch it for this newer firmware version? Or does anyone know a way to downgrade, and is it safe?
UPDATE: I've managed to compile my own custom BIOS for the Asus P8P67-M for BIOS 3602. Going to test my efforts tonight and if all goes well will post a link back to my compiled ROM for addition into the database.
Hopefully I won't brick my motherboard in the process... :?
UPDATE #2: Flashed the BIOS and it is working great! No longer getting kernel panics without the use of NullCPUPowerManagement.kext! Still having some issues when manually setting the computer to sleep (it actually does now, but wakes up within 2-3 seconds) so I'll need to explore further options such as with my DSDT and will report back my findings. But the BIOS is working great! JMicron and RAID controller functioning fine, and also have my hackintosh setup as an Apple RAID with 2x128GB SSDs and it's functioning like a dream.

UPDATE #3: Finally got sleep working properly after removing the USB3 support (PXHCD.kext), which still had no effect in relation to the machine waking up after about 2 seconds of sleeping, so I looked at the wake/sleep guide here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=57287 and used the second part of the suggested DSDT edits on my system (as the first one had issues with non-existant items in my DSDT):
I'm happy to report that sleep is now functioning properly!!! The only issue I am experiencing now is my sound not working when returning from sleep (using VoodooHDA.kext) so I need to look into a fix for this, and will report back with my findings.
Excellent work for everyone involved in getting this all together! It's been over a year and after countless attempts I never thought I'd see the day when my system would ever go to sleep properly, but you've made it happen! Thanks!
