Doesn't matter if the chipset has it if the BIOS doesn't dumbass.

How little you know about modular bios.

Find a different board with the same set of chips and you
don't even have to use the same bios! There are also tools
to reenable hidden features. They do not write a custom
bios for every board that has only minor changes, they just
add or subtract modules and hide features.

What you are failing to grasp is why the OP suspected the
mod was possible, because he, and I, and others, have
already seen and done such things in the past.
