    BIOS 103 Only supports SKL-X, FYI.

    Really, so no XOC bios for KBL-X publicly available and no word on XP support ?
    The error you were getting "the bios in this system is not fully acpi compliant" when trying to boot your XP ssd's/hdd's  is very common and is likely caused by such a drastic change of hardware between the install platform and the EVGA X299 platform, memory especially.

    I put this text doc together outlining some of these issues. The Dark does have an asmedia sata controller that should be legacy OS compliant so installing XP SHOULD be possible.
    It is also important to note that you must be using the proper sata port that corresponds to this controller

    Hiya folks

    Anyone happen to have an ln2 bios for this board? The one here seems corrupted https://xdevs.com/guide/e299ocg/#biost

    tia and happy benching!

    I downloaded this yesterday in case it gets lost or if I can someday afford x299
    It seems to be fine but I had to use newer 7zip

    https://xdevs.com/doc/_PC_HW/EVGA/E299/bios/XOC_BIOS_103.zip

    right click on zipped folder (XOC_BIOS_103.zip)
    cursor down to 7zip
    cursor to open archive
    window pops up, enter password
    password is: E299_DARK
    7zip opens, click on blue line at top left saying EXTRACT
    if file was in downloads folder the unzipped file will appear there as well

    Here is my download / above is direct link to original
    XOC_BIOS_103.zip

    BIOS for Z170 OC Formula -- based off Nick's BIOS, modded by dsanke

    Changes:
    Added 906EC (Octa-core) microcode
    Updated iGPU vBIOS to 1059 and GOP to 9.0.1080

    DSDT and CPU SSDT patched to support 16 thread

    Download: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=03237385439615534015

     

    BIOS for Z170M OC Formula -- based off Nick's BIOS, also modded by dsanke

    Same changes as above.

    http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=77370903885183324131

    Is updated IGPU vBIOS the same as pcie patching ? "pcie_patcher.cmd biosname"

    Just wanting to know if I can run discrete gpu at 16x and not be stuck at 2x

    But only at above 2800C6? Would be very weird.

    Maybe it was a bclock issue?

    Set Internal PLL Overvoltage to auto, when it's enabled some boards go right to code 15 

    Edit: from Raja "Just an FYI: Code 15 will also happen if memory is clocked too high for IMC to handle." and
    "Code 15 means IMC halted before DRAM training even started. Either DRAM is very badly unstable or IMC has an issue (could be IMC voltage needs changing also). Assuming no bent or poorly contacting pins in socket (sometimes CPU might need re-seating)"

    Should be np Alby. Bartx sells some really nice vga mounts for use with ss/cascade.

    No standard or premade gpu mount will fit this and it's oversized square evap. That being said it would be an easy thing to do yourself using some pom, tho you may have to get creative to get it to mount square/level. She's a one of a kind beast so surely worth it

    https://www.dospara.co.jp/5shopping/detail_parts.php?bg=1&br=21&sbr=1132&mkr=465&ic=437933&lf=0

    This one's for about ~15700 yen ( 142 USD sans shipping ). I assume they have it as they don't say they don't have it. Prices look quite normal unlike the amazon one.

    http://shop.tsukumo.co.jp/special/160812s/

    ~14000 yen ( 127 USD sans shipping ). It also looks like they may have it.

    Both places are Sold Out with no more coming, I have a registered Buyee account with the Chrome "add to Buyee" app/extension and the only ones I have found available to buy are from Amazon.JP and cost alot before 3rd party fee's, shipping, customs etc. Boo !

    Ninja Edit: One cool thing tho is Z77 OCF's are available at good prices both new and used

  7. Black slots are what you use on Z97 OCF, so 2nd and 4th. 4th is usually what is used for Max Freq
    On my Z97 OCF I prefer to bin psc using #2 the closest black slot to cpu as I feel it gives tighter timings but #4 almost as good.
    As you guys can tell Miller has been super busy testing mems, benching TC, living life so I wouldn't put a lot of stock in this test
    Up until TC he has been focused on newest ddr4 stuff and it's not easy revisiting something after an extended amount of time
    Thats why I have a crazy amount of notes and screenies from my testing but you won't find any $30 sticks either if you come knockin' on my door lol

     

    EDIT, oh and btw there are other good 8 layer pcb's,  B83U874 2.00 / (BP ML 94V-0 E186014) and 8 layer ST's .  .  . ST-SG38U816 V 1.0
    Adata has a really good one too but the IC's are not

    Hi,
    What's the difference with KO-8117?
     

    Well since it's old news 8155 usually runs with slightly lower voltage than 8117. Both 8 layer but 8155 is of higher quality and has additional copper
    8155 is usually better/more stable at the limits, high freq/high volts c6 and -165c++. Your chances of finding a crazy 2900c6-9-6 64 35-36-4-4 are greatest with 8155 but still Rare AF
    As of right now, out the very best 4 kits I've found 2 are 8155 and the other 2 are 8117. Tho somehow I have another dozen sticks of good bin psc waiting for a rainy day

  9. I've owned a pair of these since 2015, was very excited when Allen sent me a kit. Took me a while to figure them out and they are still a bit of mystery to me because to my knowledge they were hand picked and binned IC's

    http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?286435-I-bin-PSC-per-IC-at-Home-!!

    I believe all of the sticks should be able to do 2666c8-12-8 tRFC=88 tCWL=6 RTL's 40-41-4-4
    , Also know that Miller's test were quick n dirty since he didn't contact me to get the goods on em. They should all be able to do  the 2600c8 he tested but with tCWL=6 at 1.850 tops down to 1.78v or so for the better ones. The timing I found to be the pickiest is tRDRD, the rest seem solid. 
    I have taken them cold a couple times, first time I was still pretty "green" but managed 2750c7 at low volts (2.04v if I recall correctly). Second time I was running 2866c7 @ 2.12v. Both quick sessions and was running MaxxMem, GB3 and some stupid bench by Intel.
    Own a piece of OC History that are worth using as well, they are in great condition and have the PCB  you want for ddr3

  10. I should of posted earlier but just wanted people to know what I ordered about 4 hours ago so very similar alternatives can be bought

    So 1, 4 and 13 are most likely gone tho Tapakah is the only person who can confirm/deny this

    11 is almost exactly same as 13 so we should both be happy Ozzie
