Not sure if it is a safest way to do but I managed to do it anyway.
Here it is. Flash-any-most-Asus-motherboard-Bios-in-DOS-with-USB-tutorial-Intel-AMD-roll-back

Just confirming here, I should be able to use this tool to mod my MSI z170 Mortar (MS-7972) to accept a i7-9700K? IS that all that is required, or do I have to alter anything physically on the CPU? Thanks.

This model may prompt bios damage after reboot, but i have no experience.

You can use intel FLASH program tool to do that, download it form here Intel Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware & System Tools ,(C2 section:Intel CSME System Tools v11),run command like
"fptw -f youbiosfile".

532


but follow the picture i post. this modded bios is OK for flash ?? thank you
i cant find how to use this tool :frowning:
when i try open Flash programming tool then get that "Error 367: [FPTw64.exe] cannot be run on the current platform."

533

9100f step B0 i will choose 1 or 2 ???
1. B0 G4900,G5500,G5600,8100,8300,8350[K,T]

2. U0 G5400,8400-8700[T,K],9100-9600[T,F]
P0-R0 9600K,9700-9900[K,F]

You must use correct version(for 100/200/Z370/H310C/B365/X299/C400/C620-series systems which run CSME v11).

535




both works (option 2 also include b0 support).

536

Hi.
Does I3 9100f need to mod pin or just plug in and use like I3 8100? Because I see it belong to U0 which need to mod pin.

537

Greetings. I just registered today and I wanted to ask for assistance regarding this tool. My board is Maximus IX Hero and I have an i9-9900K CPU. I used the latest version of this tool (v20190618) on my boardā€™s latest (v1301) bios file, but Iā€™m getting an error when itā€™s inserting CPU MicroCode.

538


Depends on your 9100F version,U0 need.

539

@Bizarreļæ½
I tested it, no problem, if you still have this problem you can add microcode by mmtool .

540

Thanks, I did a little research and have this conclusion:
I3 9100F has 2 specs:
SRF7W = B0 (no pin mod)
SRF6N = U0 (must pin mod)
