What controls Turbo Core in Xeons?

[Zorg33]

So there is a bios error, that prevents CPU to shift to single core max speed at x99-TF Huanan board.

You must have disabled the CPU power management in BIOS that results in static base clock on all cores, which is 2000MHz for your CPU.
Or the turbo boost is disabled in bios.
There are some combinations of the powermanagement settings that can cause this.
I suggest resetting the bios to defaults.

Hey, guys. Recently unlocked turbobust on Windows 10, asus z10pe d16ws motherboard, two 2696 V3 processors. Now I need to unlock the turbo boost for the Ubuntu 18.04 lts system. How do I do this ? I am particularly interested in how to upload the processor microcode to Ubuntu? Tell me please.

@MOF Hello MOF, could you please compile your 50_50_50 EFI with fixed voltage? My cpu is jumping between 1200 and 3300 and i am afraid at 1200 there might not be enough voltage with -50 wheareas it's enough at 3300. Also because i use the Huanan motherboard, i need vr efficiency mode on.

Thanks a lot!

Is there a guide to apply the turbo mod to an MSI x99 motherboard, specifically a x99A SLI Plus with and AMI UEFI bios. I found a guide on this thread for other motherboards brands but MSI was left out. Also hey, first time in this forum.

 

[phyrexiancure]

I'm assuming the only way to mod the bios for MSI x99 boards is pretty elaborate because of the AMI Aptio V bios. I've found a discussion about modding MSI boards in this thread and but I haven't read through all they links they provided. Just to confirm does the MSI board that I have use the AMI Aptio V bios and does this bios require manually hacking the bios thats pretty elaborate?

If you want you can load these efi drivers directly from the efi shell for testing.

use "load" command
load fs5:\V3_MOF_505050.efi (loads efi driver)
fs1:\EFI\Boot\bootx64 (loads windows)
something like this, you get it.

Hello, could you please make more options between -90 mv and -150 mv. I tried to do it myself, but i cant get it. My processor 2640v3 can work with lower voltage than -90 mv. Thank you.

Im wondering i see an asus x99 modded bios for the max all core turbo. Does it mean i can use it with every asus x99 board or only one certain board? On all would be likely but just to be sure.
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I have a Asus X99 Deluxe II Bios 2101 & Xeon E5-2650v3.

I would like to know if someone can help me to mod my bios to force turbo on all core.

Thanks

What's going to give better overall performance a V4 or a V3 with the same core count but the V3 with the turbo mod?

The V3 with turbo are much faster. I believe V4's are about 5% faster than V3's at the same clock but V3's are about 20-30% faster with the turbo mod and higher potential BCLK overclock.

Any chance someone could upload a modded BIOS for a Z10PE-D8? Much appreciated.

There are a few posted in this thread. I think this was the latest one: https://we.tl/t-I2J2mYbF4V

Yes, but all expired unfortunately.

Does someone have modded Asus X99 Deluxe II for Xeon turbo ?

 

[Helheim]

Yes, but all expired unfortunately.

This one still works: http://www.kristech.net/haswell/mod_Z10PE-D8-WS-ASUS-3407.zip

Does any one have the a turbo modded BIOS for the MSI x99A SLI Plus?

Can you share all the files again? The previous link has expired

My domain is expired but you can still get those file, just replace "masterofphoton.com" to "https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/masterofphoton.com"

anyone managed to unlock turbo on 306F1 Engineering Samples?
I searched, but I found only uncertain opinions.

Hi Guys and Gals.
New here, and i'm a little bit stuck.
Is there a clear walk through for an Asrock X99 Extreme 4?
Or can anyone provide the modded bios?
Been trying my luck to remove the microcodes but really not working out for me.
This is the screen I get after loading in the Bios from Asrock website and cannot work out how to remove the microcode...


Thanks.

Press 'V'
Delete the 306F2 line from the MCUpdate.txt (or comment it out with '#')
Press 'F'.

Got it, thanks.
I guess it didn't click that you manually delete the line in an external editor.

Still having trouble after this sadly...
Stick the .bin file it makes on a USB, and then try and load it in the Bios with InstantFlash.... doesn't recognise the file?
Sorry i seem more illiterate at this than i first suspected.
Your help is much appreciated.

Try to use AFU or FPT. There are many tutorials. But it's not 100% that they will work.
The best method is using an external programmer like TL866 or CH341. Clamps do not work for me, I always solder out the eeprom. It's not that hard.

 

[Fury13]

The Asrock X99 Extreme 4 has 2 socketable bios chips.
Makes it easy to remove/update atleast.
I have a Sofi SP16 at work I can borrow to try and flash.
Wish me luck.
