M9A.CAP

 

PS. let me know if it works as I have no time atm to test it on mine

I try tonight 

[KaRtA]

I have installed on my M10A, but 9900k wont go over 3700. am I missing something (other than money from my wallet?)

[elmor]

Boot performance mode = Turbo performance should fix ratio issues

[KaRtA]

yeah, fixed, cheers. If only I could not BSOD007B now with my Z270 XP Install.

Inaccessible boot device, which is what I figured would happen.  I have no idea how Team AU got XP working since there are no XP drivers for Z370 Intel SATA controllers that I am aware of.

[Alex@ro]

Xp was working from day one but non-ACPI, performance was not great though, like close to win7 rather than proper xp .

Now i flashed bios and for me do not work. Done all process but after updateing ME MB is shut down and can not start only blink 00 on post code. 

[d0minat0r]

Bios for APEX X work very well! 

[KaRtA]

If only you didn’t need LN2 jumper set for mem voltage again 

 

thanks Elmor too for everything you have done for the community. I hope your new venture goes awesome. 

[KaRtA]

Anyone running 9900K on these have the same problem, where if you set the multi in bios, then try to go higher in the OS it will only go to the max Turbo Multi that is set? Can see this is going to be a huge issue for anyone wanting to run LN2.

[rtsurfer]

Did you set Boot Performance Mode = Turbo Performance in BIOS as Elmor told to? 

Edited November 20, 2018 by rtsurfer

[KaRtA]

Yes. This let me boot at the multiplier I set in bios. 

 

When in OS, I cannot go over that multiplier using TurboVcore now. Only with XTU can I increase the multiplier clock. Not sure what I am missing, but with this bios, I cannot change with either my 8086k or 9900k, where the previous bios had no issue. 

[rtsurfer]

Finally got a chance to verify this today. Can confirm. I have the issue. ?

[Alex@ro]

Well then you can use the patched bios for windows xp purposes and use the secondary bios for everything else.

Wouldnt work for all out 32m no? 

[Alex@ro]

Why not, you also have bclk adjustement....

[Matt26LFC]

Anything special I have to do to get 9900K on Apex X with Win7?  Flashed the BIOS to latest on Asus website, UEFI there is no probs, all is recognised.  However booting into Windows is a problem, gets to windows splash, sits there for a few moments then I get presented with an empty desktop, can't bring up task manager or anything

If a chip can do 32m at 7320Mhz on 1 core, doesnt mean it can boot OS at the same freq. If BCLK works, then that can be made to work. Wouldn't be convenient, but can be made to work I guess. I'll check BCLK once I get home today.

Did you follow Win7 installation procedure from the guide from here 

Edit:- You can use the latest drivers from here  

I had been using Z270 ones on Z370, the newer ones should work as well.

No, I'm on Apex X so that's Z370, as far as I know I don't need to do that.

Found another drive laying around with Win7 on it abs it booted and worked fine, so no idea what's up with my other install

[rtsurfer]

I have always need to do that on all Apexes, including Z370. That is, if you want USB.

I’m not following. Does this mean the Elmor supplier link bios, is different from the one on then Asus website?

[Alex@ro]

Yes, they are different , the bios Jon posted is modded for windows xp , acpi working and proper performance, as stated you can install windows xp on official bios but performance is not optimal 

[P5ych0]

BIOS 1704 mod is working but performance is not good. i cant run  a succesful run 32m. My Mem is binned for 4133 12 11 waza air .

iam going ot test geekbench 3.
