thx

is there any possibility to integrate the microcode to an XP supported M8I bios for SPI madness?

XP is still working with the KBL BIOS.

8700k not working for me.  I know I did the CPU pad mod correctly since it works in M9A with modded bios.  Not sure if it needs the other two pads isolated (not that I have anything small enough for that).

U need to isolate the two pads too if u don't do that u will get error 18 in the debug

Guess I'll have to hope that I can get my hands on something like this then:  https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=566900623882

I just use masking tape or kapton tape cut with a straight edge and xacto blade. "Helping Hands" magnifying glass to place using toothpick

Bro, have you try XP with 8i ?  I'm seraching to use 8350K for 2d bench  and older vga

nope, i was not able to find an M8I locally so decided to buy an Apex IX and an MOCF instead. but theoretically for the 8350K you dont have to solder anything just put microcode into xp supported bios and go. good luck bro!

I have M8I that work with 8350K on XP without any problem

Just flash the bios and u r good to go

Has anybody a mod for gene ?

Hey guys!

I bought a Maximus VIII Gene not long ago. It has a very-very strange issue! BCLK set in bios vs actual in win and any other OS has a 1.25x divider! Leaving it auto, or setting it 100 results in a BCLK of 80 in windows, for 100BCLK I need to set 125BCLK in bios. Tried both a skylake i3 and a kaby i7, 0018 and latest bios, both update from within bios and USB flashback. Anybody has any idea if this an IC freaking out, or some MEI bug, or a faulty mobo sample? I am sure it is the bios listing it wrong, because I set 125BCLK for a kaby bios (no skylake BCLK OC beyond Intel limited 102.9) and my i3-6320 booted fine and showed 100.0 in Windows.

TIA!

Is this bios compatible with 9900k?

According to the winraid forums, 16 thread compatibility has been solved for the Maximus VIII series, and most of Asus Z170.

Start with a 2XXX bios and use the newest "coffeetime" tool. I have seen successful results with the Ranger, Gene, and Hero, but have yet to see someone try the Impact.

I would imagine if you wanted to do any multithread testing you'd either want a monoblock or sub-zero + a very strong fan pointed at the VRM heatsink, but I imagine it should be perfectly fine for 32m or single threaded benchmarks.

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-VIII-IMPACT-2202-CFLmod.rar

 



why exactly did you do the first mod?
Just curious as l recall 8700k running fine on impact without it  

The mod in Nuvoton SuperIO area is SKT_OCC (socket occupied) signal, alternative to bridging two lands on the CPU. Maybe he wanted to have one board for many unmodded CPUs?

@Moonman Have you done any core or memory overclocking?

I need some help.

I have a usb stick thad let me instal it on a giga z170x soc-force ( non-k bios i think ), 7350k not working whit this bios
but as soon i install the same ssd on a M8I i have a bsod.

what bios it the best to use for xp support whit a 7350k / 8350k cpu on a M8I ?
I traid the 0001 , 0019 , 3201 and asus latest bios. all of them no go whit xp on my site whit a 7350k
 

@skulstation Non-k overclocking bioses are Skylake only. Try a newer bios for for SOC Force board.

For the Impact, all bioses should support xp. Did you use the same install method as described in this thread?

@AutisticChris Yes i used same methode as described in the tread.
Whit the SOC-force i did tray other bios than only non-k , i think it was the f20f and f6

I have flashed my Impact VIII with the Coffeelake Bios and it works.

Thanks to masben for the biosfile and thanks to gkmltd for answering some questions.
