@bartx I can't clock my memory proper with any of the M10A mod-bioses. 0094 is what I use for both 6000 and 9000 series on the M9A, also attached some timings.

[RodrigoMelo]

Hey guys,

 

Read on Win-Raid theres some sort of an NVME compatibility issue going on with certain processors. Anyone know any thing about this?

 

Thanks

Hello everyone, can I add txp / ppd to the BIOS? asus memtweakit for some reason refuses to work

[octra]

Does anyone got 2x16GB B-Die B1 PCB Dual Rank Dimms working beyond 3733 MHz? I have a hard time regardless the timings to boot with anything faster than 3733. Looks like training failure. Maybe someone could share his wisdom. ?

 

@DimitrovskiyMost Did you enabled RealTime Memory Training in the Bios? Just to be sure...

Edit: I've moved on to a MSI Z390I Gaming Edge AC and must say it's an awesome board. I can now run my RAM at 4000CL16@1.4V TM5/extreme1 stable.

A new BIOS 2503 from 2020/11/09 has been released. Will there be a mod?

it is absent in the BIOS

Wonder if Asus will ever update bios to support SAM or Clever Access Memory feature to allow contiguous access to video card memory as one block. Was just reading about it on techpowerup. Averaged a 5-10 percent performance boost. Should be possible in every Intel processor since Haswell. We got to have this.

[OneB1t]

Yes i think they are going to support it or somebody will backport it to Z270/Z370 

As i dont think it is that complicated functionality (when they can basically enable it in few days for different platform after they found out that is working well)

[Feiercrack]

hi, does anyone know, if i can use now the 64GB 16Gbits DIMMs, like the  Patriot Viper Steel RGB DIMM Kit 64GB, DDR4-3200, CL18-22-22-42 (PVSR464G320C8K) or G.Skill Trident Z RGB DIMM Kit 64GB, DDR4-3200 F4-3200C16D-64GTZRG
currently i have G.Skill Trident Z RGB DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR4-4133, CL19-19-19-39 (F4-4133C19D-16GTZR)

if so, with which BIOS version? Currently i only have the 1301 on my Maximus IX Apex from the ASUS Support page, and an Intel i7-7700k@5GHz (watercooled)

thanks

Hi guys,

I made all modifications as in the first post, downloaded ROG-MAXIMUS-IX-APEX-ASUS-2402, 

formatted flash drive to fat32, renamed bios file to creative.rom, trying to flash with bios flash back but button blinking a few times and stops. I'm using the correct usb port. What's wrong? Original bios version is 0402.

Can anyone help?

[davidm71_2]

Think you need to do a pin mod. Go to Win-Raid for help. I myself used a bios usb flash device.

First, try a low speed simple USB 2.0 stick with 8 Gb capacity, maybe you just have a controller incompatibility.
To flash dsanke modified BIOS you have to do that hardware mod, short these 2 contacts to remove Asus bios lock. Are you sure you did it right?
Or you can remove bios lock with software method as described here: https://www.win-raid.com/t3908f16-GUIDE-Grub-Fix-Intel-FPT-Error-or-BIOS-Lock-Asus-Other-Mod-BIOS-Flash.html

The bios lock is located at 0x939.
Or, you could ask that Lost_N_BIOS guy, make a thread and ask for help with 2402 modification.

Or, you can take 2301 unlocked version here:

P.S. Could you please share that latest dsanke 2402 version? Download links not working.
