FPT dump was not different than afuwin dump. the output file is 14mb. the bios file I uploaded above is a full 16mb bios that I used moded efiflash (gigabyte flasher) to fully flash it. I don’t know what you mean by “real bios” do you refer to full bios or what? I already uploaded what I can’t dump easily. anyway here is the dump you asked for using these commands: FPTW64.exe -D unlocked.rom -BIOS and it is not a full dump as you can see unlocked.zip (5.0 MB)
it should be under the card “Peripherals” ,.,.If everything is the same invisible “but bios works” try XTU / hwinfo - i enabled all on defaults “spd write / sa - 1.25V / io 1.15V/ xtu inference - enabled”
/edit
SPD Write Disable, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0xFB7
One Of Option: FALSE, Value (8 bit): 0x0
but must be compatible memory “there are different protections” SW “spd write” - OK / HW “chip lock on ram”- problem
Thanks!. That really worked. I can also edit it successfully with AMIBCP. idk why, but I can change anything I want while the bios file still working fine.
Edit: Just curious why only FTP? I mean doesn’t afuwin work already? or just the first full 16mb file I sent?
and results ? you see any new options or HWINFO - SA / IO looks raised ??
also XTU must use inference - more options “need re-installation” and not all version works well “try version 7.x.x/ and 6.5” ,.old is in x86 program-files / new in x64 folder
most XTU version works random “only emulation” XTU inference -enabled “memory / imo / sa offset + iccmax + it depends on the platform ,…,you must have more options than before”
The motherboard does not report correct voltages at all so I don’t relay on them. Nothing new in the bios however, but I can still do some manual measures. However I will see if there is anything with intel XTU. I will update later with what happens. I may also try yo default 1.5V dram voltage or use thaiphon. I mean with your help at least I know what I can do and what to do . I appreciate your time and assistance.
afuwin works “but parameter must be only BIOS block” or similar “not full flash”
.,.and HW programer need full file “BIOS region will only brick device or need block address limits”
unfortunately I don’t remember much anymore ,.,.I only use RU-efi or I search for hotkey for hidden bios access “on google” .,.safe modding
hwinfo also reports bad voltage ? ,.you also have old MC in this bios “recommended update”
send the CPU ID or only what is stored in the bios is OK? ,…,possible send update
and still hidden items “here is problem ADVANCED tab” here fully missing “mod sub-menus” I don’t know where it will be displayed or if at all
The motherboard have weird sensors completely. Nothing right. Vcore is waaay of reality. Report 1.48V! on vcore while it is probably 1.35V. on memory also thinks that DRAM voltage is 1.5V while in reality it is a bit lower than 1.4V about 1.38V minimum or so
There is also only one static report for SA voltage 1.16 while it was 1.05. now still the same. The sensor also gives one reading which makes me believe it does not even measure anything. Like you said the motherboard after all is not designed for overclocking to have higher voltages or even support anything other than 2666 memory speed so I will have some weird compatibility and some difficulties, but nothing that can’t be solved
test.rar (9.9 MB)
different access level “all others setup identical posted above” .,.,second is identical + MC update
edit >>>
try update MC / ME FW - for me this sometimes repair some this problems
,but also is possitible mobo design + custom cpu support and this is static limit for any good OC results
The memory voltage can’t be adjusted over 1.4V still. I doubt that the voltage regulator in the motherboard can’t do it, but it is still a software limitation. The custom bios had some microcodes for these CPUs to work, normally nothing would go wrong if I flash the test.rat, right?
Still tho, everything is the same. These settings we changed did’t do anything. The SA and IO voltages are as low as they have always been. Maybe the motherboard does not even control them. However the DRAM Voltage can still help a lot. I tried to set default to 1.65V in memory overclocking section, but that didn’t do anything so I tried 1.5V and the same didn’t do anything. In the advanced voltages section there is another option which visible in the bios, but values there are set to 65000 or something like that not even voltages, but that is the working option still up to 1.4V and no more. Do you think there could be anyway to left that up?
Tried editing both failsafe and optimal also the same
Sorry to steep in, most modern AMI Aptio V core bios will not reflect the changes by AMIBCP like it was in Aptio IV, the string/variables must HEX edited.
At least SPD lock is disabled when you set it false so yes it works, but idk why voltages are just static. I don’t want go bother much about them, but at least the DRAM voltage. Those memory can run any voltage less than 1.7V safely. The 1.4V is just too low. I probably won’t get anything beyond 1.5V other than temperatures due to already low SA/IO, but there should a remarkable difference from 1.4 to 1.5 I believe if not in frequencies there would be in lower timings
edit "mod backup"
if you have in bios SAVE OC PROFILE or similar functions - try this after mod + 2x reboot system
and CMOS reset / load bios defaults - removes mod “but carefully ! .,not all is possitible reset”
