  • who wants to try run coffelake on the M8i you can try the following flash bios:  -->  Bios 3801 (Mod Coffeelake Microcode) Nb : Flash bios using CH314a flasher do not try flashing through bios

  • Maximus VIII Impact running with 9900K, should be no issue with 8700K/8086K. CPU Pad Mod I just made. 2 pins isolated as per attached image. Flashed with programmer. Bios - MAXIMUS

    8350K working just fine on M8i with this BIOS.  Boots 4133C12 a lot faster than with any SKL or KBL chip I've tested.

With new BIOS (3201) its possible to do 32M 4K C12 1T Waza and booting from it :

attachment.php?attachmentid=5167&stc=1&d=1484624747

 

And my best result for 5G so far :D

attachment.php?attachmentid=5168&stc=1&d=1484624747

 

the key is some timing and rtl work different way than on Skylake.

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.

i can not reflash M8I from 3201 to 019.....i tried in BIOS and via USB Flashback...nothing worked

any ideas ??

yes i did..... format to FAT 32 and rename bios file....maybe i shouldt try another usb drive

thanks Michael, i will try FPT.... i did this in the past on X99 SOC Champion, it worked fine

 

 

i have no luck with this method....it gives me following message:

 

"failed to disable write protection for BIOS space"

Board dont Start flashing process from USB drive.

 

And if ist try to Flash via ftp, it gives me the Massage ist wrote in my Last Post.

 

Cheers...

Ich got the right File, right named.... Push flashback Button until it starts blinking , but after 5 Times it Stops.

 

And elmor method with ftp also wont Work

 

Cheers...

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

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 :P

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=5224&stc=1&d=1485545921

 

The correct flash back port is the one below the lan port, not the one below the PS2 port :P Flashed back without an issue now :D

 

Maybe Impact manual has a similar problem?

 

Anyway my Gene acts up now; anything above 3733 is a nitemare on Kaby Lake...

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 :P asI might beoverlooking something for clocking the memory. Though XMP should work, right?

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 ) :(

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...
