Has any ASUS motherboard owners have use the UEFIpatcher to patch their MB bios and willing to guide me, explain me or show me the way to find information on how to use this Patcher. I have use the PMPatcher before but now there is a new tools which is this one but don't know if it is use the same way as of PMPatcher. Can someone show me some light on this regard. TIA guys.
Why do you want to patch your BIOS? Are you having problems?
Personally I wouldn't bother to do that at this point. Patching the BIOS is required when:
-MSR 0xE2 is locked
-xpcm or aicpm is loading and compatible with the CPU, causing a kernel panic when it tries to write to the MSR
If you know for sure that your MSR is locked, then I suppose you could patch it for when PM is working, but there will probably be new BIOS releases before then that you will want to update to which would require re-patching anyway. Until PM is working and AICPM/XPCM is loading, a locked MSR won't cause a problem. My suggestion would be to wait.
That being said the procedure is pretty simple, instructions are right here if you didn't see them: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285444-uefipatch-uefi-patching-utility/page-76#entry2031914
Basically just drag and drop and UEFIPatch will do the work for you.
