This time I bring you a little adventure under Windowz, it’s about changing the boot logo of the Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO motherboard.

We download the BIOS from the Asus website.

Drivers and Utilities -> BIOS & FIRMWARE -> BIOS: MAXIMUS VIII HERO BIOS 3802 Version 3802 8.22 MB 2018/04/27

And also ASUS AI Suite from the Asus website.

Drivers and Utilities -> Drivers and Utilities -> Utilities: ASUS AI Suite 3 V1.01.28 Install Program for Windows 7 32bit & 64bit / 8.1 64bit / 10 64bit. Version 1.01.28 205.7 MB 2015/11/10

NOTE: The correct version is: ASUS AI Suite 3 V1.01.28 Install Program for Windows 7 32bit & 64bit / 8.1 64bit / 10 64bit. Version 1.01.28 205.7 MB 2015/11/10, it’s the most recent one that includes ASUS EZ Update.

I’m leaving a copy of everything needed uploaded to AlfaExploit , just in case the tools eventually disappear from the official website.

We extract both the BIOS and the ASUS AI Suite installer, then run the latter (if we try to install directly from the compressed file, it will throw an error) by executing Setup.exe.

Select all programs, install, and reboot.

The logos I’ve tested are these:

The patched BIOS update steps are as follows:

Access EZ Updater	Select the BIOS image	Select the BIOS image

Click MyLogo	Select the logo image	Click Update

Click Update	Confirm	Reboot

The BIOS finishes the installation on its own:

Once it reboots, we’ll be able to see the updated logo:
