Hi, I want to add fixes “PICe 1440”, because I want to use Xeon & BGA1440 cpu, which is E2276M, but the button is gray, can’t be clicked. what am I supposed to do? By the way， the chipset is Q270.
Hello,
I’ve got a Fujitsu D3401-A1 (Q150) flashed to D3401-B2 (which supports Kaby Lake) on which I’ve run Coffeetime and it works perfectly except for a weird issue i’m having with the PCIe x16 slot.
With a B0 CPU (i3 8300) it works no problems
With a P0 CPU (G5400 for now) the x16 slot does not work.
On the G5400 i’ve taped all the pins shown in the well-known picture except for the lone purple “Biostar” pin in the upper right. SKTOCC is already grounded on the Super-IO side (but if that was the issue the machine wouldn’t boot at all)
On Coffeetime I’ve enabled (among others) both the PCIe and the PCIe 1440 patch.
(May be worth noting that the “clean” unmodified BIOS already shows a yellow “PCIe” patch.
I have also tried running the bios through the older patcher (allinone.exe) with no change.
The G5400 is a “disposable” CPU for test only, my plan for this machine is to run a QTJ2 mutant that’s already on the way from China (I may have ordered it before testing the PCIe fully). Could it be, so to speak, a pinout problem, given that the B0 works and the one that needs pinmods doesn’t, and so could I hope for the 1440-to-1151 to just work?
In any case I’ll attach both an unmodified dump and what I’m currently running.
Thank you if anyone will have a look.
PS: the attachment is actually a 7z, please rename it before opening.

@andrea Hi, I will tag @dsanke to see if they can help you with the pcie issue as they are very knowledgeable about these things.

Hi!
First of all, thanks to this community for this thread, i’ve been succesfully using a QTJ1 on an Asrock Extreme 4+ z170 for 4 years.
Now, I switched to an Asrock Extreme 4 z170M, and I am not being able to make this work:
This is my coffeetime config:
And the current status is that the system starts and keeps with black screen and fans spinning from mid to high (2 seconds on mid, 2 on high and repeat)
Any idea what I am doing wrong? I’ve tested the board with my old 6600k and it works
Hi Guys, I have a QQLS Mutant and had that thing running in an Asrock Z170 ITX Board with no problems. I now switched to an ATX Board (MSI Z170A Krait Gaming), modded the bios with coffeetime 0.99 (same settings as Asrock Bios before). CPU posts and boots, but Performance is a lot lower. CPU only boosts to 3,3ghz all core and Intel XTU says I am restriced by Current/EDC even without loads. I played carefully with voltages but that almost insantly causes reboots of the system. Do you have any idea what could be wrong here?
Hi Guys,
I got another Board, an ASRock Z270 Extreme 4 and my QQLS refuses to post/boot.
This is my Bios:
Anything wrong here? ME? Thanks in advance!
Could be a problem with the BGA-to-LGA interposer. Did it come with the ASRock board? It may not work with other boards.
@chinobino : Thanks, but that CPU was working fine in another ASRock Z170 and also a MSI Z170 Board. PC turns on for a brief second and then turns off. Maybe something wrong with ME?

@chrisk2305 I will tag @dsanke to ask for help with getting the BGA 1440 QQLS to work on a ASRock Z270 Extreme 4 if/when they have time (thanks in advance dsanke).
Much appreciated!
Got to work thanks to @msm8960
Thank, it’s work with Asrock Z270 Extreme 4. (Need E6 method of plutomaniac’s [Guide] Unlock Intel Flash Descriptor Read/Write Access Permissions for SPI Servicing before Flash bios)
“setup_var 0x68F 0x01” for who don’t have time.
@chrisk2305 Thanks for reporting back. So it seems your flash descriptor was locked and you couldn’t downgrade ME FW.
exactly
Hey All,
I followed this thread to use the latest 2019.1229 version ALLINONE Tool to modify the BIOS file for the H110M-STX found in my ASRock Deskmini 110. Unfortunately, inspection of the resulting output BIOS file showed that no CPU microcode was written at all!
I know of at least one person that had success with the same mobo using a previous version of the ALLINONE Tool. Does anyone have access or a link to the 2019.618 and/or 2019.311 versions of the tool? I’d like to give one of those a try.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you! Great information. I missed it completely since it was part of the original post. I downloaded and played around with coffeetime extensively and was left with a few unknowns:
-
I want to keep the Intel ME FW enabled so that I can use the Intel PTT (software TPM 2.0) on my system. It’s not clear to me if my existing 11.8.50.3425 FW can be left in place and enabled and still be compatible with Kaby Lake AND Coffee Lake CPUs.
-
Using Intel FPT, my BIOS appears to be locked for reading and writing in the important regions, making it hard to back up the BIOS region personal data and also to write out any updated BIOS.

I don’t really want to have to jumper pins on hardware to remove the write protections. Am I cooked at this point?
@utwb3893 Hi, you must downgrade ME firmware to 11.7.1xxx for a Coffee Lake CPU to boot in the H110.
Use the Consumer version supplied with Coffee Time and leave it enabled so that TPM will also work.
If you can’t use FPT to flash a modified BIOS due to locked Flash Descriptor you will need to use a hardware programmer to bypass this.
Make sure you make a complete backup before you attempt to flash anything.

That means CoffeeTime can’t apply the patch, maybe this mobo don’t need it, I don’t know, you have to try.
