[TOOL] Easy automated Mod tool for Coffee Lake bios

Thanks @revlaay for your efforts .
just one question , Does this supports Intel Core i5-9400F ?


yep, still have some limit by vendor specific module,disable boot logo may get some info or not.


yes, beware some asus bios version (3805/1205) won’t get pcie patch, should use older version.

Do you know how to disable the boot logo? ht enabled bios makes keyboard doesnt work so i cant do anything when boot. I tried to edit the bios as well with mmtool but cannot find oemlogo file in the bios.
BTW I saw in asus forum someone did use 9900k on the same board with HT enabled, try to contact him but he doesn`t to be online in that forum anymore.

@Doomslayer
did you have nvme ssd installed? remove and try.

Hi, I have plan to buy an I5-9400f CPU. I’ve read some comments said that It works well with this mod, even without CPU pin mod.



Could you please confirm I5-9400f without CPU pin mod?



Yes, i already tried remove the nvme ssd, result still the same.



Could you please confirm I5-9400f without CPU pin mod?




Yes i mine can work without cpu pin mod. maybe someone can tell, is it safe without cpu pin mod? my i9 9900k(with ht disabled) also working with or without cpu pin mod.

@Doomslayer if you need BIOS with boot logo disabled, please link me to your mod BIOS and I can disable for you

Hello and really thank you for this great utility.

So I tested this software with the latest version of my motherboard to buy a 9900k (Gygabite Gaming 5 z270x).

I would like to test this bios before buying it. Can you confirm that this will work at first with my 7700k ?

Can you confirm that the HT 9900k will be fully functional with my motherboard ?

I do not think the utility of my motherboard accepts the bios as an update is there a utility to flash the bios ?

Thanks in advance and really sorry for my english =)

Hi, guys!
Looking for confirmation that MSI Z270 Gaming Plus will work with 8700
On main page i found that “2. MSI board bios can support up 8 threads.” in known issues

but on previous page one of users confirm that 9400f works perfect on msi mobo… i’m a little frustrating :slight_smile:

Can i isolate the contacts using duct tape? ot it just melt down under heavy load?
Can i connect pind by chocolate foil?

In near future i want to buy Z370/90 chipset mobo so i cant afford to do some modification permanent

Thank you!



Thanks man, here is my modded bios: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwjhmvd7hf6h88…modded.bin?dl=0

bios mod working fine with 7700k on z270 (if choosed kabylake microcode)

I used CoffeTime + clean_me (11.7.0.1229) to get an endless reboot, I couldn’t restore the working bios using the ASUS USB Flashback, only the programmer helped to restore the motherboard.
I think it is important to know.

Thank you for your answer but I think I have succeeded with this moddé utility Flashing Gigabyte while avoiding "Invalid BIOS image"

I check the version of intel me with this program https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa…-Detection-Tool and it tells me the version “11.7.0.1229” Off the version original of my bios is "11.8"

I can buy a 9900k without problems with this bios ?



1. besides the version of me, you need to flash the modified bios using coffetime
2. in the CofeeTime program, it will be indicated that on the z270, only 12 streams will work (for now)
or ask for an experimental bios (z370>z270) from the author.
3. when you buy the processor will need to do pinmod (the image will show the program coffetime)

Thanks to you shikulja, I followed step by step what you tell me and coffeetime tells me this.

So I think that’s correct.

To achieve the “pinmod” what can I use without losing the warranty ?



for isolate:

Heat Resistant Polyimide Tape

for short (Silver Conductive Adhesive Glue)

which way is better, I do not know.

@Doomslayer - here is your mod BIOS back, with now boot logo disabled by default, and you can enable/disable it now too if you want @ Boot BIOS Page

Thank you for your help. I greatly appreciate it.

is there any guide how to porting bios from another board? by porting my h270 bios from H370 bios, is there any possibility to succesfully run i9 9900k (16 threads) on my G20ci(h270)? thank you
