I want to lock tb for all cores. What efi driver is the best solution for me?

Also i cant to update bios (with removed microcode)... I tried it from OS and from easy flash: integrity check error....

You have to read back only 4 posts, I answered that and Fury13 confirmed it.

I have a supermicro X10DRI with dual e5 2680 v3. But I can't boot windows server with microcode removed (tried mmtool, ubu and winhex way). If I have v3x2.efi added, there will be messages indicating all cores are boosted, but windows still stuck at boot logo ( tried windows server 2019 and 2012 r2 ). By the way, I cant boot debian either. What could be the cause?

You have to disable c6 modes in bios, only enable c0/c1, also disable status report.

You can remove the microcode like from all the other BIOSes.
For programming you're going to need a hardware programmer. CH341 did not work for me with these 128Mbit chips, but TL866 did.

Can you please recommend a BIOS for ASUS X99-DELUXE / U3.1 Now, I'm using Xeon E5-2683V3 64GB RAM. ECC feels that my system is unstable.

BIOS MOD is very good
Thank you

  • V3_MOF_905050.efi
  • V3_MOF_905050.ffs

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. :)

BOARD Huananzhi x99-F8
Processor Xeon E5 2678 V3

I've tried all of em but none will vary the voltages or offset my bios even has integrated overclock feature which apparently does not have any effect on xeon processor, i've already remove the default microcode patch for 06F2 and i've full turbo but no effect from the -50 to -90mv even -120mv

I Dumped my bios using FPT (fptw64.exe) http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=00030251930965210827

Hey P1ayboy, can you explain these.
Are they for a specific mobo?
Click to expand...
This is not for a specific model. If I understand the question correctly. Just insert the EFI via usb and see which one works better.
When selecting, be careful, load the EFI from USB. Because with some driver, the CPU can generally go to the blue screen.
Everything works fine for me!

Ok, i tried your v3_1005050.efi file, and i get the message:
Xeon v3 All-Core Turbo Boost EFI Driver by C_payne v0.2 (dual cpu)

It appears to load, and the result is identical to the v3 efi file.
All core turbo works but voltages dont appear to be any lower (just monitoring these in hwinfo) and temps are the same.
Should i be seeing more noticable results?

I tried 705050 and 505050 with same results.

Well copied the file across instead of just trying to load it and then run windows And it seems to have taken.
Running the 705050 file as i was concerned -100 might be too much without being able to test it.
i got +50 score in XTU and the cpu now idles around 670mv.
surprised that lower volts = more performance but its certainly welcome!
Thanks!

I'm glad you have the results. I set myself 905050 at 2696. Rarely began to get errors with -100, so I changed it.
