Good morning boys , i wonder if is it possibile to have some help to modding the bios of these mainboards. I have 5 systems that are connected with sfp+ 10gbs ; 4 systems with asus z10pa d8 and the principal node with asus z10pe d8. All the nodes mount two E5 2678v3 cpu; i would increse the performances of my system . The SO is windows 10. Now i have read very lots guides ; so i could resume the procedure in some points:
- install SO with uefi mode and do a 100mb EFI partition
- Download the original bios from asus website
- Open the original bios with mmtool and remove (in cpu patch ) under “Platform type” the line with 6F ; the save the bios with another name , for example mod1.bin
- Open mod1.bin with uefitool and under bios region , find the “code line” with more line ; select the last line (volume free space ) and select “insert before” ; now inject the Tu drivers , in my case “v3x2_payne_0_0.ffs” . In this case the “0_0” indicate the offset of the undervoltage for the cpu and for the ram; i could staser with the default value and the decrese it. In any case now i must save the bios another time , for example mod2.bin
-Open mod2.bin with AMIBCP and under the path :“intelRCsetup”-“advanced power managment”- “cpu c state control” , disable cpu c6 report from “failsafe” and “optimal” ; save another time the bios with mod3.bin
Now the bios could be ready for the write. So i buyed a ch341A programmer (because the bios in both the mainboards is locked ), i’ll remove the windbond W25Q128fp create a back up of the bios with Asprogrammer (size 16777216 , page 256, SPI commands 25xx ) ; load the mod3.bin bios and write it.
In this case my bios is ready to mount it on the mainboard.
- After this , i’ll prepare a usb stick (format fat 32 ) with driver v3.efi ; reboot the system and boot it from usb stick; save the istruction on efi partition of the diskdrive. Then reset bios for example remove the battery.
- Load Windows and back up the “mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll” in System 32 from cmd with te command del-mcu-file.bat ( that in inside a folder in my desktop) ; it ll rename with “mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll.bak”. So i could remove .bak to return in the original configuration
-Finally i could install the new driver for the cpus with “cpumcudate” from prompt and restart the system
So , is it all correct? or i do some error? thanks a lot
