I have an Asus ROG Zephyrus M15 laptop. I aim to modify the BIOS version of the device to perform undervolting by changing the overclocking lock setting. However, when extracting the BIOS versions downloaded from Asus's website, I can't find any files with the extensions *.rom, *.bin, *.cap, *.scap, *.bio, *.fd, *.wph, or *.dec.

Most of the tutorials I follow on YouTube show that when the BIOS is downloaded as a .exe file and opened as an archive with 7zip, at least one of these extensions is found. How can I correctly extract the BIOS for Asus?

Tools I use for extraction: UEFITool, innoextract, UniExtract, 7zip.

When I check with HWiNFO64, the Boot Guard Status on the Intel ME on the motherboard appears as Enabled. Could Boot Guard cause issues when I mod and flash the BIOS? How can I disable it?

Thank you.

there are some possibilities how to remove bios from exe.file...like 7 zip.
These things you could only do on different planet though.

The bios is encrypted. You'll make no changes. At best unlock some features if they are available to do so.

By the way, extensions like .rom is simply the bios file and that's it. Some bioses use different extensions, but for most past time, .rom is the usual extension used for AMI bios files. The files are generally not compressed, you use 7zip to read it. There's nothing to extract.

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. If you want Pointers about Asus bios files and modifications, go to OCN.net and ask for TheStilt. He'd be the only person eligible to assist because he writes bios for Asus. Usually he sets up the performance settings.

Anyways,
Good Luck!
