bigblock990 Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) MOCF vrm can handle 9900k no problems. On ln2 no heatsink required, the cold from full pot is enough. However if you are pushing hard on ambient, or even SS then you should use heatsink. Can run without heatsink on air for quick tests fine, but if you benching hard then use heatsink. EDIT: Upon further testing from @Splave, its best to use heatsink on vrm at all times, even under full pot ln2 Edited October 20, 2018 by bigblock990 3 1 Quote
bigblock990 Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Hey guys, tiny bug with bios 751f and 9900k. If you want to run at stock for testing / os prep ect. You need to load optimized defaults, then manually change vcore mode to offset, leave the offset value auto. Quote

Synth Wave Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) Thank you Nick, Splave and everyone else who made this possible. I have a Z170 OCF. I asked Asrock for a custom BIOS to add Secure Erase as a feature. Would it be possible to add Secure Erase to the custom BIOS? I have the custom BIOS if you need to analyze it. Here are some screenshots: Edited October 21, 2018 by Synth Wave typo Quote
SparkysAdventure Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Anybody have 8-core MOCF results yet? Quote
Splave Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 hey guys I would suggest using the VRM cooler even on ln2 seeing like 70c max with it on no fan etc when running an extended load like gpupi even though its less wattage than r15 it is allowing it time to heat up. 1 Quote
Synth Wave Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Is the VRM heatsink required on air running the 9900k at 5 GHZ? What temperatures would you see in that situation on the VRM at room temperature? Quote
Achill3uS Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) if it is required when the cpu is at fullpot with ln2 around -180C then i suppose its not a question to use it with aircooling in a pc case, there will be definately not cooler. btw I dont remember any situation when it was recommended to use any board without vrm heatsink when overclocking on air/water. if you dont need to insulate board to handle extreme conditions like condensation, i would never consider removing.

Synth Wave Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 How hot do you think the VRMs would get on air at around 5 GHz with the 9900k? There have been alot of reports on Z370 and even Z390 motherboards not having adequate VRMs for the 9900k. Quote

Splave Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 it will be fine just keep cooler on my temps are with vrm cooler on but LET over the top of them so not optimal cooling scenario Quote

Problem seems to be my board and pcie_1 Sorry for adding to confusion but pcie patcher is NOT needed on MOCF Quote

SparkysAdventure Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 @Synth Wave Any idea why it doesn't work with the 9900k? Quote
Synth Wave Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 it was for kaby Lake/Skylake. I tried activating Secure Erase using AMIBCP but it doesn't show up. The BIOS Asrock gave me is called 7.40B. Quote
Splave Posted October 26, 2018 Author Posted October 26, 2018 I dont even know what secure erase is sorry haha Quote

Do you know how to copy a feature from one BIOS to another? Just make yourself usb flash drive with HirensBootCD on it, boot into the linux rescue enviroment, and use Disk Eraser. It accomplishes the same thing, is very easy to do, and you can use it on any pc. No special bios required. Edited October 26, 2018 by bigblock990 2 Quote
