nachtfalke Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 post 289# is updated with right bios for Hero Quote
speed.fastest Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 With new BIOS (3201) its possible to do 32M 4K C12 1T Waza and booting from it : And my best result for 5G so far the key is some timing and rtl work different way than on Skylake. 1 Quote
speed.fastest Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 xp doesn't work with 3201 bios ? It works, but you need install Asmedia USB 3.0 driver to make it works. BTW the new BIOS (3201) exposed my Maximus VIII Gene capabilities, before this its not possible. Quote
P5ych0 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 i can not reflash M8I from 3201 to 019.....i tried in BIOS and via USB Flashback...nothing worked any ideas ?? Quote
Administrators websmile Posted January 25, 2017 Administrators Posted January 25, 2017 right procedure, did you rename BIOS to M8I.CAP ? Quote
P5ych0 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 yes i did..... format to FAT 32 and rename bios file....maybe i shouldt try another usb drive 1 Quote

rsannino Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) You have inserted usb pen drive in correct usb port? (is not all the same, need correct port) You have usb pen drive in fat format? You have inserted correct file with correct name in root ? M8I.CAP ? Read page 2-16 http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/MAXIMUS_VIII_IMPACT/E10809_MAXIMUS_VIII_IMPACT_UM_WEB.pdf?_ga=1.216811350.1386101847.1484079858 Edited January 25, 2017 by rsannino Quote
P5ych0 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Yes ist did it the right way.... I can only Flash between 3101 and 3201.... Board tells me all others are no proper BIOS when ist try with EZ Flash Cheers... Quote
rsannino Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I haved flash 3101 and after 1902 without problem with flashback mode! Quote
Alex@ro Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Are u sure your stick is FAT32 formatted? Quote
P5ych0 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Yes. I will try some other sticks.... Maybe EEPROM is corruptet? Cheers... Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted January 27, 2017 Crew Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Had similar backflash issues Psycho, couldn't get it done either... it was fat32 & it's renamed as M8G.cap... But the manual for the Gene is apparently wrong The correct flash back port is the one below the lan port, not the one below the PS2 port Flashed back without an issue now Maybe Impact manual has a similar problem? Anyway my Gene acts up now; anything above 3733 is a nitemare on Kaby Lake... Edited January 28, 2017 by Leeghoofd Quote
Alex@ro Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 0019 from 3201 worked fine here,here you can find the correct port for flashback: http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=147417 Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted February 4, 2017 Crew Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Flashed the Maximus VIII extreme with 3201 bios... main issue with my setup is I lost total XMP support. Loading XMP always results in hardlocking board, no matter the memory I plugged in (tried 8GB 3333HyperX, 8Gb 3466C16 Gskill, 16GB 3600C17 Gskill) This can't be good for daily users can it... Flashed back to 2202 to get Command Rate 1T working with the B-Die set, as I failed miserably with 3201 over 3733 memory divider. Resulted after a few sucesful boots into the OS in a lovely postcode 00... First Bios chip is toast. Swapped both chips and nr 2 works fine, this also in the first Bios socket. Either I'm very unlucky as I experienced similar memory compatibility issues with the Gene board. And/or my 3 B-Die kits are all craptastic with Kaby Lake CPUs and Biosses. Don't forget the user might be getting too old for this stuff asI might beoverlooking something for clocking the memory. Though XMP should work, right? Edited February 4, 2017 by Leeghoofd Quote
Fasttrack Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 I have no issue at all with M8E and 3201. XMP works fine even at 4133 G.Skill Trident Z. Running perfectly with four different sets of mems. Currently at 3866 / 12-12 very tight, 1.82V. 3007 was an absolute disaster ( and still is ) Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted February 4, 2017 Crew Posted February 4, 2017 I have a 4133 kit inbound, mmm recalling all my B-die are still of the first generation... Though can't get anything to properly boot XMP on my board (with 6700 and 7700K), will see if reflashing cures anything... Quote
