Dell Optiplex 3040 KabyLake

Guys, is there any way to make this SkyLake computer work with kabylake? Is there how to add microcodes?

I dumped it with the intel tool.

Dell Optiplex 3040 with Intel Core i3 6100 3.70Ghz and H110 Chipset, 4GB RAM.

I couldn’t attach the bios directly to the forum

Can you flash back your dump by FPT?
fpt -bios -f dump.bin

I got this error. I’ll try with the service mode jumper.

With Service Mode Jumper.

OBS: I don’t have a CH341A for backup.

OK. Now I need results of MEInfo.

OK. I got this error.

I don’t see Intel Management Engine device on Device Manager. No Unknown device listed.

FPT corrupted ME?

A few months ago I used MEinfo and it brought me the information normally.


No, you flashed BIOS-region only.
Try to disable Service mode.

MEInfo

Boot Guard is enabled. :frowning:
But I can try to add support for ES CPU with Kaby Lake core and CPUID=0x506E8
E.g. https://www.ebay.com/itm/QTY-1x-Intel-i7…A0/133418409987
Are you interested in that?

It is safer to replace my i3 with an i5 or i7 skylake, because here in Brazil it is impossible to find these confidential CPUs. They are also preventing purchases from outside the country.

Disabling bootguard is impossible?

I’m trying to get a 3050 or 3060 in exchange for that 3040.

Yes, it’s possible. But you need to solder new (clear) chipset chip.

hi, i want buy this Dell Optiplex 3040 ,can you tell me which cpus can i use , thanks

@aiopoe
Skylake only. i7-6700 is best for this system.

i get a idea ,can 3040 use 3060‘s BIOS ? both DELL ,nothing change

You can’t, because of activated Boot Guard.

Good day Mateus, I am trying to mode couple of optiplex 3040 but I dont seem to find the tool you are using here. Could you please share a download link ?
