So I managed to fix my issues with x99 taichi that system would freeze/not boot all times, I disabled BCLK speed spectrum , lock the bclk at 100mhz, disabled powerstate c3, and lock the ram to 2133MHZ (i use ddr4 ecc ram) and it's all stable now and works perfectly 100% successful boots to...

Someone with an 2686v3 could confirm if the experience this issues? So it goes like this , i got an x99 TAICHI (bios 1.4 + v3.efi) and some problems persists: - I have only 1/2 successful boots to windows, half of the time it freezes - Sometimes CPU overheats and goes to 90degrees celsius...

Hi, it happend to me once. The cause was that I added a new hdd and the hdd order was changed from fs1:\ to fs2:\. If you switch sata ports it might happen too.

You can switch to BIOS B from the switch located on motherboard, and try to recover bios A , feature you need to do this is called "Secure Backup UEFI". Did you followed someEEguy post? https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/what-controls-turbo-core-in-xeons.2496647/page-3#post-38703348 Also ...

Well i think you can but probably will need to edit MSR registers, i base this on remembering there are some motherboards that let you overclock even NON-K processors. There are some people who did it google it , "overclocking non-k processors".

Hi Dufus, Could you share the source code for v3.efi driver? What does it exactly do? overwrite the MSR registers? Thank you.

I just got my taichi mobo today, 2686v3 reporting in. Instead of 2.3ghz on all cores i get 2.9ghz, but sometimes when CPU is idle all cores are at 3.5ghz, in bios i don't have an option to set cpu clock (idk why probably because i use ECC memory) i can only change only BCLK, when i put it at...

From what i've read , all haswell 2011v3 suffer from this bug and it might be possible to do it. 306F1 is stepping 1 (ES) , 306F2 is stepping 2 (QS/Retail) . If you have the cpu you can give it a try.

How likely is by doing changes like this to brick the bios? If you have a spare motherboard you could give it a try.

I got an 2686v3 , let me know how it goes if you happen to get one , i doubt you could get 3.5ghz all core on 120W power but maybe 3ghz or a little higher would work , i currently have a supermicro motherboard and i think i can't do much about custom modules for efi bios, considering asrock...
