Also all "hidden" settings have been "unlocked" but some of them are dummy/not_working/useless/not_hidden_when_they_should_be. I could have done a better job but I've only one board and not so much time so I can't test everything. If someone would like to help me, I'd really like some before/after pictures of each sub-menu, the list of unusable settings (dummy/not_working/useless/not_hidden_when_they_should_be/bios_crash_when_you_select_something).
Here ---> https://www.mediafire.com/?ci917olsgruw7ba <--- you can download 2 versions, both have the updates, but only "ALL_SETTINGS.bin" have the all settings unlocked the other file "HIDDEN_SETTINGS.bin" has the usual menu layout that you can find on the original ASUS bios.
I'm not responsible for any kind of damage that you will/can/could cause to anything/anyone by using these bios.
Hi.
I’ve got this motherboard recently, and I wanted to install a Xeon E3-1285L v4 or even a E3-1285 v4 on it, but the official CPU list doesn’t mention it.
Did you include the microcode for the Xeon LGA 1150 Broadwell core?
Thanks.
This thread is a bit old, why dont you open the files and check the mcodes with MCExtractor, AMI MMTool or even UBU, you’ll get the full list of what’s inside the mod files or even add/remove it yourself.
Good luck
EDIT: These are the mcodes presented by the user mod files
306 C1,C2, C3 are haswell 1150 cpus
40671 are broadwell 1150 cpus
306C3 v7 are for haswell prd cpus, that could unlock the all core turbo to be equal as 1x turbo (if cpu 1x turbo is 4ghz, then all core should be 4ghz, despite official spec is x38 for example). has been known as mcode bug (i dont remember if TSX is still enabled in this mcode or nah).
there is 306C3 v99, modified mcode v7 header by msi, but i never tested those on other board than msi, i think v99 is to make the windows not to use mcupdate_genuineintel.dll since v99 is higher than v21, so there is no need to delete mcupdate_genuineintel.dll to use the mainboard mcode, but thats theoritical. if you want to test it, here u go: cpu306C3_plat32_ver00000099_2013-01-21_PRD_4F685C3D.rar (16.2 KB)
I don’t care much about haswell cpus, I just want to make my h97m-e motherboard support a Xeon E3-1285L v4 (or even the not L version), or in general the LGA1150 Broadwell Xeons.
well thats a hit and miss, but usually it should go and support it ig, well at least in this case unlisted xeons cpu on asus lga 1155 board could do xeon just fine
Well, as for the “hit and miss”, I don’t want to waste money on a cpu that won’t be supported, because if I buy it and the motherboard won’t POST, how I know if it is because of the lack of support or because the cpu would be defective? At least if I know that the correct CPU microcode is injected in the UEFI, I’d be more sure that the reason can’t be the motherboard.
Anyway, what does it mean “ig” ?
Thanks.
Well my friend to avoid that… you need to hear from some one who already tried those Xeons on the same motherboard model.
Besides we having tne mcode on the bios and seeing other Broadwell cpus listed in their list of supported motherboard cpus, only a user with same adventure can give you a word of assurance on such matter, agree?
EDIT: What im trying to say is that even with a missing mcode or updated mcode the board can or cannot work with it… by OEM board design/restrictions/locks… etc.
Yeah, I completely agree, of course. Unluckily I didn’t find anyone that tried that, so at least I would try a way modifying (or updating) the original latest bios with the a microcode (the latest if possible) with those cpus included.
Anyway thank you for your answers, I really appreciated in any case.
I am curious, so I am looking at modding an ASUS H97M-E, and is having a look at every H97M-E BIOS 2702 which has undergone a mod to compare to my own. Some have pads which I assume is due to DSDT patching though I don’t think it is required unless some other changes are made. I don’t have the pad issue going through the provided ReBar steps without DSDT patching.
Now I have come across this BIOS mod. I am not interested in the hidden settings, but I am curious about the microcode. In MMTool only revisions 16 and 21 show, so I assume that 7 and 12 have been inserted elsewhere in the BIOS. I am also unsure which revision 7 has been inserted. Will this be an issue?
Furthermore, are both the i5-4460 and i7-4790 supported under 306C3? It does not show in the CPUID database links that you have provided.
Would you rather suggest sticking to the stock BIOS 2702, without any microcode and other mods enabled by UBU, and only adding ReBar and the UEFIPatch?
No one who uploaded a custom ASUS H97M-E BIOS is available to answer my questions. I am unsure where to ask. As I said I have done my own mods, but am hesitant to use it because I have no means, currently, to return the stock BIOS.
mcode #99 is already explained in the thread, latest is #28, performance benchmark or OC is the user task to choose and see the results, in witch to use.
Thank you, I appreciate the response. I will look into which microcodes still have TSX enabled. Otherwise, I will stick to the microcodes in BIOS 2702.
