[Request] ASRock X99 Taichi - Adding IntelRCSetup to UEFI (BIOS) GUI

https://download.asrock.com/BIOS/2011/X99%20Taichi(1.82)ROM.zip
Hello,
I know that IntelRCSetup is in different UEFI module “platform” rather than “setup”. So it’s not that easy to make it accessible, but it looks like similar mod was done before for some other X99 boards.
Does anyone know and can help to unhide IntelRCSetup ?

It looks like Profile - genius239 - Win-Raid Forum was able to to it in the past [Request] Unlock IntelRCSetup in MSI X99A-SLI

Any progress that you can report?
I about to give it a shot on a Asrock x99 extreme4

No, no progress. Let me know if you figure out how to get access to those settings.

Can someone help here ?

No visibility changing to USER in Access/Use, with AMIBCP?
If not you may try this tool:
[TOOL] UEFI Editor - BIOS/UEFI Modding / BIOS Modding Guides and Problems - Win-Raid Forum (level1techs.com)

Further questions/info on your progress with this tool, post on the related thread, not here.
Good luck

How can this tool help me here ? I don’t think I need it. Whatever this tool does I can do the same manually with ifr extractor and hex editor.

UEFI Editor can help. There’s 3 different methods to add IntelRCSetup. Mind the top bar with menus. It must be possible to put IntelRCSetup there.

The problem is that IntelRCSetup is in “Platform” UEFI module and not in “Setup” module. I just tried this online UEFI Editor tool, I was able to open up “Setup” as documented, but when I try to feed it with “Platform”, it refuses to take it.

When I open up just “Setup” module with UEFI Editor, I can’t see anything related to IntelRCSetup there.

I understand that I need to replace Form Id of a form that is visible and not need with Form Id of IntelRCSetup. But what if that new form is in different file ?

Can you give me some tips on how to proceed ?

Here are 4 files you need to open up “Setup” in UEFI Editor

pdf.zip (202.4 KB)

How did you open “Platform” (IntelRCSetup) in the Editor ? It takes only “Setup” for me.
How do you know the offset where to put GUID ID in Section_PE32_image_AMITSE.sct ?
What is the last screenshot ? The motherboard has bios with graphics GUI, and not that plain text one.

I renamed the file.

Thanks to this topic.

I know. I’ve found the screenshot on the web. :smile:

This is amazing! I was kind of skeptical, didn’t believe that it would work, but it works!!!
Menu item doesn’t fit the screen. You can see it in upper right corner and it continues to the next line, upper left. Do you know how to shrink that upper menu to fit this new additional item ? :crazy_face:
I tried it on a different ASRock X99, not Taichi one, but they are all the same.

To return the top bar to normal, you can only replace another menu with IntelRCSetup, for instance, security. Or try another way of accessing IntelRCSetup.

On Taichi you might need to insert the GUIDs twice.

Yes, I can try to add it instead of Security and move Security somewhere else, as it is in Setup module and should be relatively easy.

Hi man
Overclockers.ru banned me again LOL
Very interesting topic you have. Did you try undervolt by bios already or preconfigured raw-driver still needed to change voltages?
Could you explain what have you done step-by-step for my mobo?

It doesn’t work on ASRock with locked CPUs. But works on Asus. The reason is still unknown.
Pm me your bios region (fptw -bios -d mybios.bin) and I will add this mod for you.
Don’t contaminate this thread with unrelated stuff please.

I mean that unlocked Intel settings. Maybe that one will accepting instead of asrock one.
Core and cache voltages needed. System agent voltage is correctable by default.

I tried to find asrock’s voltage data offset with no luck. If someone direct me how to calculate the address I can recompile raw driver to get that settings from that points

If I compare bioses via changes on amibcp (intel settings) there is too many changes instead of simple points.

No, it doesn’t work on ASRock with CPUs with locked multiplier. Works with CPUs with unlocked multiplier though, like E5-1660v3.
It works on Asus though, core voltage offset, cache voltage offset and core/cache multiplier as well up to the highest available one.
The reason why it works on Asus and doesn’t work on ASRock is unknown. The only person who can figure that out is Nalex, as he was able to fix similar problem for Huananzhi X99, but we don’t have a contact with him.

He says on his site that he installs some kind of driver for that. I wonder, why CPU with locked multiplier needs a driver and CPU with unlocked multiplier doesn’t need it. I doubt that Asus installs a special driver for that either.

It’s reasonable. Check this out: ‘GitHub - freecableguy/v3x4: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor Max Effort Turbo Boost UEFI DXE driver’. I think the tool installs driver like this.
