Asus P9X79 boot LOGO

Hi all,

I'd like to mod the BIOS of the Asus P9X79 to have a black screen on boot. I changed the splash screen with a black image (using the AMIBIOS OEM Logo Manipulation Utility) but on startup there’s still a message “Press DEL or F2 to enter UEFI BIOS setting”. Is there a way to remove this text?

Additionally, is there a way to set BIOS options into the BIOS file so when I flash a motherboard with my custom BIOS all the options I changed are applied to the new motherboard?

Thanks all for your help.
