Hello, I recently bought a processor of these 10TH cometa lago QTJ1 The seller sent me the modified bios for my board but it is in .bin format In the tutorial I saw, it said that I only had to install it normally but when I tried it, it did not appear the seller told me he needed a programmer, is there no way to install it in the traditional way? Thank you

@TheVazh - If your buying CPU like that, you should already be the type of person that owns CH341A or other flash programmer.
You need flash programmer, or do pinmod to unlock FD so you can write entire BIOS via FPT
If you go the flash programmer route, you also need “U Type Flat IC Extractor” so you can pull out a BIOS chip safely.
OR, you can ask your CPU seller, to sell you one pre-programmed DIP8 BIOS, with the BIOS he’s made for you to use.
If you do this, tell him for best compatibility you want it done on a BIOS chip with one of the following chip ID’s
EF4017 (Winbond W25Q64)
EF4018 (Winbond W25Q128)
C22018 (Macronix MX25L128)
Hello, thank you very much, I asked and he told me that he required the full registration because at the end it contained letters, do you know what it is?
i asked in ebay and i see a post of one chip preprogrammed for my asrock but he say this
Did someone modify the BIOS?
I bought this CPU a while back, and I have to say the seller didn’t modify the BIOS properly.
I have an Asrock OC Formula, and I couldn’t get all 8 cores to show up. I could control them in Windows, but it was a bit of a hassle.
Now, I don’t know why, but I’m getting a Windows error.
I suspect it’s because of a Windows 11 update. I don’t know how to modify the BIOS, but with AI and patience, I hope to fix everything.
If anyone knows how or can help me…
@TheMental You can try this bios: Z17OCF7_1440.rar (7.4 MB)
You can try to flash it normally with instant flash, or intel fpt. Just make sure to have a stock bios dump (not stock pure bios from the web) before doing so.
Thanks you!! I’m going to try it soon.
I modified one using CoffeeTime that worked for me.
The PC is running more stably, actually.
But the BIOS still doesn’t recognize all 8 cores; only 4 appear. I wish I could control all 8. Honestly, the CoffeeTime app is amazing what it does automatically… Doing all that manually is madness.
