Could you tell me what the difference in this two methods?  Also there is third method (with 2 pads isolating and 2 pads short) and now which one most techniclly correct? As anyone sayed there is method allow avoid modding CPU by shorting two pins near KBC but i dont understand how KBC lines may take affect on CPU socket.

sky lake and kaby lake continue to operate with the coffe lake hardware modification in the firts post or is it necessary to switch off?

It is not clear to me if the hardware change on the ix apex replaces only the two pins to short-circuit the cpu and therefore always serves the isolation of the pins under the cpu

I answer myself, 7600k leaves and works properly with hardware modification for coffe lake. Is the isolation of the pin for coffe lake necessary?

Modded the Apex IX and I am running Bios 0094.
Testing with a Celeron G4920.

Getting stuck at postcode 18.
Reading in this thread it seems the microcode isn't implemented in the bios.
@@rne You suggest to use mmtool.
I never used that.
Is that easy to do ?
Do you have any tips ?

Edit:
Which cpu's are in the 0094 bios ?

Can this bios be installed via the FLASHBACK? I got my 9900k running WITHOUT HT with the bios posted on the first page 0092

Thank you in advance

actually.... lol. Running into an issue. If I try OC'ing the 9900k, and it locks up due to a bad OC. I get stuck after the bios load. 'Hit f1 to load setup'
Only thing that has fixed it, is to reflash the BIOS with the flash back. 
Anyone experiencing this?
