  1. Guten Tag Michael, mein lieber Freund !
    Very interesting ddr4 kits you have there. Could you elaborate on what cpu and motherboard the testing was done on ? I'm assuming the voltages stated are bios set ( or Turbo Vcore / Formula Drive ) as opposed to Digi Multi Meter readouts, please correct me if I am wrong.

    Thanks in advance, take care and glws

    The problem is that the board literally doesn't power on.  BTW the header on current boards is 11 pin:

     

    The board doesn't need to power on if using eeprom spi programmer but if you are saying it just a dead board and flashing bios won't help then don't know what to tell ya.
    If you saw my pic flashing the Z370 ASRock itx board, you'll see only reason led's are on is because the Rasp Pi is powering them. There is no psu connections made to board whatsoever. The screen with flashrom running is from Rasp Pi running Linux (Raspbian, Debian etc) using Terminal to probe, find, read, save and program the Macronix or Windbond bios chip. 
    BTW that image appears to be for AMD since it's 1.8v, Intel platform uses 3.3v

    Well O15 seems to have killed my board somehow.  Flash with FPT went through fine with no errors, but can't power on at all after shut down.  Whee!  Anyone got an MSI SPI1 cable??

    MSI cable ? just use Female to Female ( 2.00 pitch ) jumpers for programming with Rasp Pi ( or similar ). Here, I made you an MSI SPI to RPi gpio pinout

    I would try the AMI BIOS Recovery Method first. I made .txt file so we don'y have a wall of text

    yes :P

    its what Elmor did for the 1703 one  EDIT by Gti, 1704 I think lol

    How about after Comp in your free time you make unicorn bios. M10A 1801 modded for XP and add LN2 volts/IGP and M9A compatibility. I'm modding the 2 bios you just posted (M10A_1801_XP, M10A_0001_XP) for M9A. Will try to test tonight and post em in that thread if they are solid

  5. I can flash any bios I want (plus more through spi header) so  that's kinda cool. So far I've been unsuccessful at getting Z390 bios to run properly on Z370 board. The board powers on, cpu starts warming up but i never get a pic on the monitor. Pretty sure the It will not work since Z390 is a 14nm chipset, so there are complications such as can't run downgraded versions of ME and so on. The only reason Z370, Z270, Z170, H310C, and B365 to name a few work is because they still use the 22nm process and that can be downgraded to the right ME.

  6. Have had this board sitting in it's box for 9-10 months now, ever since I saw the 1.5 dram voltage limit.
    I would love to actually use the board for benching but this limit makes a solid (by hardware standards) board pretty much useless for Overclocking.
    After doing a decent amount of research I have found that the hardware used is 99.9% identical to the Z390 Phantom ITX that has a true XOC bios.
    Would my best bet be to try and flash the Z390 board to my Z370, and if so would I need to mod the bios for the Chipset/PCH.
    I'll probably flash the chip using the on board SPI header and Flashrom via RaspPi

    Or maybe there is an easier way such as hard mod to unlock the new security features on the ASRock Z370 chipset boards

    Or skip the bios altogether and do a VR mod to the dram VRM ?

    Any help or suggestions on quickest, easiest or safest way would be greatly appreciated
    I'd like to keep this board, but if this becomes too much of a risk for the reward situation I'll just sell the board (since it is still unused other than the basically bios browsing)
    and put the money toward something else such as Z390 Dark, Gene or Apex

    i didn't figure it out, will try later when i get home.

    Bottom line is xmp doesn't do jack on several ram modules,it's like it sets only freq but forgets about voltages and timings etc(on x16 and x20b bioses).

    I cannot figure out how to set timings for both modules in the same time,not to go to each slot and put all the timings again.

    When there is something which the board doesn;t like ,even the  clr cmos has a hard time to get you back in bios.

    How is it possible they don;t have even a profile for bdie or spi32m or whatever, like the other producers ? Like they remained in skt 775 era with the bios options :D

    There's a reason these were never meant to be given to the public
    Step 1 use the x14b bios and this album for reference

    But set Dram training, eventual and vtt manually

    Do not touch any of these loadline, current protection etc. Leave auto

    Memory timing mode to manual in 2 spots, or "Advanced Manual" in both for controlling all timings noy just RTL/IOL
