Hey, this is my third coffee lake mod from z170 motherboard, both first went great, but this one everything is fine except I can’t OC the CPU. I tried reflashing the BIOS, but I just can’t use the x.syncallcoreratio, it keeps saying access denied. Uncore and RAM do overclock, but the ratio in BIOS just won’t apply in Windows for the core.
I’m using a R0 i5 9600KF on an ASUS Maximux VIII (8) Formula with BIOS 3801.
Could anyone help try to get this SyncAllCoreRatio program to work?
I get the following :
ASUSTeK
OCMR_PEI:
Header checksum: 61h, valid
Data checksum: AAh, valid
SiInit:
Header checksum: 7Fh, valid
Data checksum: AAh, valid
1 file(s) copied.
Access is denied.
Press any key to continue . . .
Out of curiosity how come theres no ME greater than 11.7 or rather what are chances they released a newer version since then that will work? I mean has every version been tested and how likely they would make that mistake again?
Thanks

Well, better to found SPI programmer to reflash modbios 100%. Software tools not works for some reason.
One thing more you may try to do is HDA-SDO pinmod to unlock regions for writing. Method described here, point E1.
@davidm71
For consumer CFL CPUs 11.7_CON is last compatible version. Same for 300(22nm) + SKL/KBL.
But you may use almost any version of ME_COR 11.6+ (if disabled) for any SKL/KBL/CFL CPUs with any boards.
CoffeeTime 0.92
— Download —
----- Mirror -----
- Improved compatibility with CFL 1440
- Added replacement system of all existed VBIOS/GOP modules
- Couple of extra mods:
- Removing SPD Write Protection
- Unlocking maximum RAM 128Gb
- Replacing cores/threads count display type in BIOS from hexadecimal to decimal
Hello everyone,
I’ll be doing a Copy/Paste of another message I posted on another forum section, but it pretty much explains my problem.
"
Hello,
Had this coffee time mod for 6 months or so and I’m having big problem with Pci (2080ti running like crap or getting stuck on code 96 at boot).
So I found this thread, and I’m trying to run this Pcie-patcher.cmd it doesn’t seem to work. And I tried tons of differents things.
Launched the cmd as admin typed "c:\pcie_patcher.cmd creative.rom (cretive.rom being my bios, and also in the same “folder” as the patcher)
But I always get the same result the “Usage/Result” message.
I know it’s been a long time, but if anyone know what is wrong with it, also I tried changing the .rom to .bin, didn’t work either.
My motherboard is a Asus Z270 Maximus IX Extreme.
Cheers"
So, in short my i7 9700k works with iGPU, but since last week doesn’t work with my GPU,
the gpu used to, sometime be slow but I could get it to work normally by swapping my riser cable to another PCIE slot.
I wonder if there is any fix, since I got to talk with the creator of the “PCIE Patcher”, but said it was obsolete.
For the pinmod ( https://zupimages.net/up/20/18/pe0a.png ) I did all needed for ASUS, and also yellow, and the red on the left side (didn’t do on top right)
Cheers.
@OminousStrike
Try this bios for M9E - it’s most complete modbios variant for 9700k at the moment (use SPI programmer).
But I think your problem not linked with coffee mod. Did you tried plug in GPU right into board w/o riser? Same troubles?
@svarmod
It is under watercooling so I unfortunately cannot try (and directly plugged into the mobo, I can’t close the case)
I highly doubt it is a Riser cable issue as I have tried with another one without success.
I’ll look into the link you sent me
So I checked with another Riser, didn’t work any better.
As for the BIOS you gave me, I don’t have a SPI programmer, I tried to install in with AfuWIN no luck (maybe I’m using it wrong, never used it before)
Maybe you have another tool to propose ?
You know if I can install it like I did for the one I currently have ? (Shorting pins on Motherboard renaming the bios creative.rom and using the bios flashback feature)
Thanks for the answers.
@OminousStrike
Yes, you can reflash it using Flashback with shorted pins and "creative.rom" name. It works same as SPI programmer, just onboard.
Any downsides to modding an asrock z170 gaming k4/d3 (ddr3) to run a 9700k or similar? any issues with pci-e, hyperthreading, etc?
any confirmed success stories?
0.92 vbios replacement doesn’t work well，after bmp ends
@madmanmarz
Should work fine as on all other ASRock Z170. Maybe a bit voltage issues with 9900, but easy to fix by manual.
@virginlulu
Give more detail info please. At what moment it breaks? OS version? Is desktop DPI scaled? Is antivirus reacted?
the bmp window is out，but the vbios doesn’t be replaced，i use windows10 1809

Two things:
- This bug may be related with nonstandart bios. Please give me your image to try solve problem.
- There is no Kaby Lake microcodes inside, so bios may not support KBL. Grey PCIe patch label may indicate about same thing. In this case coffee-mod not possible for this image.
Hey, I’ve got a weird problem.
I picked up a used 9700k from CEX in the UK and tried to get it to work with my Asus z170-p motherboard.
I shorted and isolated the correct pins and modified the bios with coffeetime, but couldn’t get it to boot. The motherboard will turn on but will turn back off and boot cycle after about 5 seconds.
Looking at my CPU, it seems to have the PCB of a B0 (4 core) chip rather than the P0 or R0 that a 9700k should have
Is there a reasonable explanation for this? Or has someone swapped the IHS with a worse CPU and conned CEX into accepting it?
8 core does require different number of SMD parts than 4 core. So if it is exactly like a quad, than something is very fishy. Pics?
My ASRock is going to reboot for something like 5 times after the BIOS update. After that everything is fine. Maybe you have to wait longer.
The forum won’t let me post pictures or links since my account is too new, but it looks exactly like the B0 stepping seen on the i3-8100-8350k.
@toung421
I’m sorry, but if PCB looks like B0 - it’s 100% fake.
It’s may be any Kaby Lake also, e.g. Celeron.
Remove all pinmod from CPU and add 906E9 and 906EB microcodes into modbios, then try to start it.
Its one of the more lucky fakes though, as the CPU could at least run. There have been several Socket 1150, 1155, 1156 and even some 775 with "Core i?-9???" relabeling. Good luck with the dealer, though. Such things are hard to prove.
