Thanks for the answer
Anyone care to comment on if this mod will work on an ASRock X99E-ITX/ac board with an E5 to 2696 v3
I have no doubt the hack works on earlier chips, however, there are many caveats to working with early engineering samples.Has anyone figured out if this hack works properly works on ES1/ES2 chips? I know earlier nobody has been able to make it work. I think I am going to upgrade my motherboard to one that has new features (USB 3.1, multiple m.2 slots, etc, and use the one I have now for a build I might be doing for my wife.
Asrock is the easiest way to do bios, but you're stuck in those voltaje of efi, you can not modify it as a bios asusAsRock is the easiest to mod BIOS, I believe Canonking made a custom BIOS for it. The only thing that might hold you back would be the VRMs, but you would still hit a 8-10 core turbo of 3.8 and an all core of around 3.1 to 3.3. I don't think you would be able to hit 3.4 and 3.5 like some of us are able to hit.

Hello,Hi guys!
I am back for pushing a bit more my system! I joined this topic at the very beggining so still rocking the original V3.efi on my system (E5 2686v3 18c, asus x99 deluxe, 96gb of ram). I have read all the 68 pages but I am still lost in some concepts, so I have some questions:
1 - As I understand, the newer drivers undervolt the cpu and cache to get higher frecuency, no? Which one do you recomend I shoult start trying with? I guess the -50mv core, -50mv uncre should be accepted by all cpus?
2 - What does Powercut mean? Is it good? Bad? What does it do?
3 - My system now renders in vray at 2.7ghz (from 2.3ghz originally) using all cores and goes up to 3.5ghz with workloads of 8 cores or less, what should I expect to gain from newer efi? Anyone has experience with this 2686v3?
4 -As I understand, the EFI driver can be baked in the BIOS, no? Someone got an Asus X99 deluxe moded bios? If not, any tutorial? Is it really better than loading the efi as always?
Thanks a lot! I bought the 2686 before all of this and couldnt be happier with my workstation/gaming machine! haha
If I have some spare time, will try to update my original 00_OC ANANDTECH.rar tutorial for new starters, so its easier to get into this boat.
Regards!
Hello,
I have a X99 deluxe too with a E5 2696V3: I have used your guide and I think your modded bios too (the one with just the microcode removed).
I have switched from the original V3.efi to the new V3x4 compiled by kjboughton (directly replaced in the efi partition: you can mount the efi partition with windows diskpart soft and you just have to copy the new efi file to the old one in an admin cmd).
Powercut is supposed to prevent in some way one of the mecanisms which try to lower turbo bin to remain in the stated tdp: I am not sure this is usefull for my setup.
I am using now one efi driver without undervolting included in the efi file but with the powercut: I prefer undervolting directly in the bios. I have tested some efi drivers with preapplied undervolt and various fixed VCCIN and found no advantage with this method in comparison with undervolting in the bios. I prefer the flexibility to adjust voltage from the bios.
My cpu accept -70mv to the core and -50 to the cache, with an allcore turbo to x32 (x38 with less thant 10 cores, lower voltage can give better allcore turbo but are not stable) with microcode 27(more consistent performance boost than 36-39). But I have slighty better performance with bclk overclock >103 which is not stable with this voltage: I need to dial it down a little and the allcore turbo is now x31.
AsRock is the easiest to mod BIOS, I believe Canonking made a custom BIOS for it. The only thing that might hold you back would be the VRMs, but you would still hit a 8-10 core turbo of 3.8 and an all core of around 3.1 to 3.3. I don't think you would be able to hit 3.4 and 3.5 like some of us are able to hit.
This is great news.This depends on the silicon lottery. X99E-ITX VRMs are not much different from my motherboard.
I'm about to lose my mind...
Windows 10 DVD hangs when I attempt to boot from it.
Windows 10 Recovery USB stick hangs when I attempt to boot from it.
Acronis USB & Disc hang when I try to boot into it.
Looks like I won't even be able to format the drive and do a clean install even if I tried!
The shell shows contents on the Nvme (OS) drive... so the drive didn't go bad.
This issue is out of my league.
I'll be glad to pay someone to help me sort this out.
At this point I don't care for the turbo mod.. I just want my PC to function.
Temporarily disconnect your ODD or set it lower in boot priority under your NVMe OS drive and attempt to boot Windows.
No dice.
I tried flashing the factory bios...
Same behavior of hanging when attempting to boot to/from anything.
Disabled the V3.efi file in BIOS. There should be an option now to set to disabled. You'll need to search throughout to find the location of the setting. Shouldn't be too hard to find.
Did the EFI file set lower Core and/or Uncore voltages?
If using the original V3.EFI one of the checks it makes is if a microcode update is already present. If it is present it generates a message to say so and exits with changing anything as the exploit requires the processor to not be patched in order to work.
Did you back up the BIOS beforehand. If you did then re-flash your backup BIOS. Some systems require a recycle after flash, ie let the newly flashed BIOS post at which point it will restart. If you are not sure then remove all mainboard connections of bootable devices, flash your BIOS and let it restart without interference. It should end up in the BIOS setup if no bootable devices are found. From there check all settings are as should be especially IDE, AHCI and RAID settings, CSM settings, fast / ultrafast boot, legacy or UEFI boot and secureboot. If still not working a cmos reset can be tried and again reset BIOS setup settings back to your personal settings.
Likely your just having a boot issue and don't need to restore your OS but having that option is nearly always a good idea.
I'm not familiar with Rufus, all that is needed is a standard FAT32 device for the shell and V3.EFI file. Not sure which RAID you are referring to, if it is running off the Intel sata ports then BIOS should provide the driver and they should be accessible unless running AHCI instead of RAID.
If you have already successfully flashed the factory BIOS using the internal flasher of the BIOS then turn off the PC and reset the cmos which usually is done by a push button or jumper, check your manual. The reset may start the PC, let it finish. Go into BIOS and set what needs to be set and try again.
