using an external flasher like a ch341a or a raspberry pi with a soic-8 clip and flashing the stock firmware could work, but you would be missing stuff like MAC addresses for the ethernet card from the firmware if you use the downloaded copy from msi's site. maybe you could use a hex editor to fix it?

i don't have any other machine than this, so am i just stuck with this broken bios unless i can find a rpi which is more expensive than the board itsellf?
H81 chipset doesn't have overclocking abilities at all.
it does, but only for the pentium g3258, other K series CPUs aren't overclockable
1) Unlock ME region in some way (hidden BIOS setting or pinmod), so you can overwrite it under Windows/Linux 2) extract ROM from UEFI Capsule with UEFITool 0.26.0 3) use FPT from Intel ME System Tools 9.1 to flash new BIOS
fptw64 -f new.rom
btw, you can try to overwrite ME firmware (unlocking is not required if new version > or =)
Your current ME version is 9.0.30.1482 (in contains inside E7817IMS.1A0)
1) obtain Intel ME 9.0 1.5MB Firmware v9.0.31.1487 and Intel ME System Tools 9.1
2) fwupdlcl64 -f me.bin
3) power off, clean bios settings (unplug battery or use jumper on mobo)
if no luck (fwupdlcl may not work if ME is damaged), when go to https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/issues/287#issuecomment-511200282

dartraiden, thanks a bunch. i've tried the second method first and it gave me an error but the first method worked beautifully. now my bios is back to how it was without extra options and looks like me is as well.
thanks again.

This was to be expected because if the descriptor and the ME region are locked from writing (according to Intel recommendation, except for some Gigabyte's mobos) there is only one way to overwrite the ME region — ask ME to update itself. But, since ME was disabled, it failed.
The presence of ME is very important for overclocking because the ME contains [Integrated Clock Control].

flash bios and me
optionnow i have many more overclocking options like
BCLK
manipulation, which i didn't have before. problems:details
menu saysintel me version: n/a
no matter which version of bios firmware i'm at, even if on stock/unmodified ones.here's the output of
intelmetool
:what should i do to at least gain my ability to overclock and revert to the original state of my motherboard?
