I just did this mod about an hour ago with your instructions and downloads on my E5 2673-V3 / Jingsha X99-E8I setup and my CPU-Z multicore benchmark jumped from 4439.1 to 4829.2 and the single core jumped from 302.6 to 347.1 :) Thank you for the info!
At this rate you should be getting much more subscribers. Well done sir 👍
Always watching your X99 videos even though I'm not using X99 platform.
Maybe I should get one soon 😅
You can always assemble an X99 computer with a Xeon E5 CPU and then sell it with zero or very little profit, just like a fun project to spend time with.
With a $100 2678v3 you definitely should consider ;)
@@Ko6pa Now that CPU goes for around 80 on ebay, it's great stuff lmao
@@farawaythrower is awesome for sure !
@@Miyconst Hey. Would you assist me? can you tell me how to do this procedure on my motherboard? I have e5 2680v3 and ASUS ROG STRIX X99 GAMING.
Hi Miyconst! Just wanted to let you know that I've had this work with 2 Machinist x99z v1.02 motherboards so far. Thank you for your hard work :)
A tip for anyone using this board, you need to find an older version of AFUWin. I could absolutely not get it to work at all and would fail at the first block using the newest (5.13). Using an older version (5.11), I got it to work perfectly on the first try.
What a brilliant and comprehensive guide. If this had been out last year I would have kept my X99 and not bought Ryzen. Subscribed.
You didn't miss much by switching to AMD Ryzen. Overall, AM4 is a much better platform.
@@Miyconst It is, but is far more expensive
I'm located Hong Kong, as the price on ram and parts etc, is much overpriced locally . i bought a x99-tf and e5-2678v3 from huananzi official store in china in early march 2021 for just 1450hkd (18x usd)and try it out with my 10 years old 1600 ddr3 rams, by following your instruction guide and playing in the save way, i dumped the rom and did the mod step by step, now running 3.3 all cores with -30 -20 mv. stable and cool performance proofed, very appreciate for your genius work and wish u a thriving future, thank you.
Thanks for the support, good luck to you as well!
I used the TechYes method on my E5 2678 V3 and my PC somehow reverted back to its slow clock speeds very quickly. You superior method seems to have permanently set the boost overclock, thank you!
Now you know whose guides to follow 🤣.
Your dedication is astonishing for many of us. Well done work!
Just one word.. THANKS!
Did it in 10 minutes, worked perfectly for my X99 QD4. Thanks a lot!
Which undervolt -X/-Y do you use? Thanks
Hello, what do U do in step 4 inject required FFS driver?
I have x99 QD4, but can not found anything XE driver in BIOS region
Thank you so much. Used this and the guide from tech yes city to do this with afudos on x99z v102. E5 2678 v3 full turbo with -70mv cpu -50mv ram working well. I will be trying on asrock fatality x99m killer 3.1 and will comment if it works.
It only bloody worked! Thank you for the details and clear instructions.
amazing. can make a guide for Asus C612 dual CPU
Just love your videos(all the way from South Africa), so much insight on the X99 platform...
Thank you for your tutorial!
Can I ask a dumb question?
Does this work with a MSI X99S Krait Edition and a Xeon E2660 V3?
Thank you very much! :)
It shall work, I have tested two MSI motherboards: MSI X99A SLI Plus & MSI X99A Raider, works with both.
@@Miyconst thank you very much, mine is Sli edition too.
@@kakkoishonen How the board working for you, any issues? I’m kinda stuck on the same boat.
Thank You. Worked very well for me. I have e5 2678 V3 which is boosting now to 3.2GHz when before it was maxing out at 2.9GHz.
This is absolutely amazing. Do I have to do this on a newly installed Windows or I can do it on my current build with the old Turbo Unlock mod?
You can do it on your currently installed Windows. I have validated with Windows 10 (previously Turbo Unlocked) and Ubuntu 18.04, also not a fresh installation.
Miyconst that sounds perfect. Thank you very much! 🙏
@@Miyconst Hello. China mb x99 up bclk in bios or windows?
@@eternal89 Chinese X99 motherboards do not have any options to control BCLK.
Thanks for your video, I already completed the unlock to my Xeon E5 2620 v3, from 2,4GHz to 3,2GHz, It was very easy following your guide, thanks again!!!
I'm with same e5 2620 v3 , x99 tf .
Doesn't works for me.
Error 103 on first cmd line : dump.bat
Awesome guide! I was under the impression that this mod locked the processor at its max clock speed 100% of the time but since it doesn't, I'll probably end up doing this to the editing rig I'm building.
Fantastic! Rarely do I leave comments, but I need to say your tutorials stand out above and beyond anything I've viewed . They are clear, concise and yet extremely thorough.. And, in part due to your support, I have purchased the brand new dual cpu x99 Huananzhi motherboard which I intend to turbo unlock two e5-2678 v3 cpu's - wish me luck. Afterwards, I hope to follow the tutorial on The Passthrough Post to bring up macos Catalina on a Linux KVM-QEMU with direct pass-through to the GPU and a USB hub. Thanks again and please KEEP POSTING!
Thank you for the support, Mark! As far as I know, there is only one (so far) dual socket LGA 2011-3 motherboard from Huananzhi, and this motherboard supports DDR3 memory only, thus, make sure to buy correct memory modules, and good luck with your build!
Worked perfectly with Huananzhi X99-F8 and E5-2640 V3. Outperforms i7-5960X in single and multi thread. Thank you
Wooh! I'm also getting a e5-2640 v3 soon.
What an excelent video Miyconst, just did it without any problem. E5 2620 V3 now at 3.2 ghz!!! Thnx my friend and keep up with the good work!!! Greetings from Colombia!

Hi mMiyconst, this worked well on my xeon 2620 v3 atermiter motherboard. its a very easy and straightforward guid, thanks alot.
Excellent video.
Helped me on my new
HZ x99TF motherboard.
I have used the ffs file standard voltage on my bios.
I’m using ddr3 desktop memory at 1.5v.
I have two 2gb 1333 Kingston HyperX sticks and
two 8gb 1866 Kingston HyperX for the total of 20gb running at 1333 ghz,
on E5 2678 v3 cpu.
Thank you very much.
Keep on the good work.
I’m not sure if that’s the place for this comment:
I’m using an RTX 2070 on this motherboard.
The performance is excellent,
But although it is recognized as pcie 3 (8gb)
In Windows it is configured as
pcie (2.5gb).
I tested it in both of the x16 slots and in both of them it is the same.
Hello Miyconst. Your reviews and videos are REALLY AWESOME! Thanks ! Great video.
Thank you so much this! Thank you so much for all your care to brings us this amazing content! You are a super hero!!!!!
Oops, I posted a question with my work ID yesterday. Thanks for the answer.
I changed the BIOS to the -20 mV and all my tests were faster, so that was worth the time. I was also able to overclock the RAM to 2000 from 1800. It's cheap 1333 DDR3 so that was another boost. I didn't notice any temperature increase even when rendering a file for 38 minutes. This PC is much faster than the Ryzen 5 1600AF I had been using.
hello miyconst...i search all over the web for my x99 turbo boost hack...and then i found your video..its easy to understand and my sytem is stable..nice work...i support you 100% i just subscribe you channel....thanks from malaysia

@@Miyconst hello....can u explain about undervolt ffs driver....im not understand
@@shukriideris5547 Xeon E5 V3 CPUs have a TDP limitation, once this limit is reached CPU drops its clock frequency, with lower voltage CPU consumes less power, means it can maintain higher clocks.

with E5-2678 V3
Very nice, it works flawlessly! You really deserve more subs mate. Keep the good work!
Thank you for all your help so far! After a lot of testing and fiddling, I have come to the conclusion that my board is faulty. The BIOS that the motherboard came with states that Turbo Boost on All Cores is enabled. When running the stress test on CPU-Z I can see 100% utilization across all cores at the max turbo speed. However after about 10 seconds, the clock speed begins to decrease. My initial thought was thermal throttling. However everything is in open air on my test bench and the hetsinks on the VRM and CPU are cool to touch. Due to this I started fiddling with the BIOS using your Turbo Hack video. This landed up with the board POSTing everytime but not booting into windows each time. I tried various permutations of the BIOS modifications and someone's it would boot into windows and other times it wouldn't. I eventually bit the bullet and used your modded x99f8 bios. After the Flash, it booted up a lot quicker than the original bios but the Clock speed decrease was exactly the same as with the original bios. I then rebooted the machine and it did the same thing as only sometimes booting into Windows but POSTing everytime. After many reboots and waiting, I got back into Windows and flashed the backed up original bios back to be at square one. Very strange issue. I bought two of these boards for my two servers, so I am yet to test the second one before getting in touch with the seller regarding a return/refund/dispute etc. However regarding the clock speed decrease after a few seconds, they say that its normal and expected. From watching other videos on TH-cam, the Turbo Boost Clock speed stays consistent and dones't drop. If it really is thermal throttling after a few seconds, well eish... Thats a real bummer. I mean I was already planning on upgrading the VRM heatsinks before installing them into my 24/7 servers, but I had thought that the stock VRM coolers in open air on my test bench would've been fine.
Hi there. I don't think your motherboards are defective. The things you are describing are known and expected. Regarding the booting issue, it's a UEFI bug, once you clear CMOS (or reflash BIOS) it doesn't properly detect the boot partition. There are a few potential fixes: 1. Install Windows in the Legacy mode and forget about this struggle. 2. Reinstall Windows in UEFI mode after you are done with BIOS modding. 3. Disconnect all storage devices from your system. Clear CMOS. Boot into BIOS. Restore defaults. Save changes. Reboot. Set desired BIOS settings. Save & reboot. Power off. Connect storage devices. It should work now.
For the unstable CPU clock you need to understand how it works. Turbo Boost Unlock exploit forces all CPU cores to boost to the maximum turbo frequency UNTIL the TDP limit is reached. Once the TDP limit is reached, the CPU drops frequency to stay within the TDP limit. It is just how these CPUs work, and fixing the temps won't change anything. You have to reduce CPU voltage, so called undervolting, which means that the CPU consumes less power at the same frequency, and the consequences of this is that CPU can maintain higher clocks at the same TDP limit.
@@Miyconst Thank you so much. I now understand why the undervolting is involved for the bios mod.
@@Miyconst This explains why sometimes it would boot when I had a Flash stick isntalled. Couldn't understand this phenomeon! Thanks again!
@@Miyconst To be perfectly honest, all of these Ali sellers should pay you a royalty fee for every motherboard sold due to the amount of information and help you provide. Thanks a million! If I could like your videos and subscibe a million times, I would. Top notch!
X99-TF + E5-2676v3 = -70mV-50mV working fine (above that windows BSODs). Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you for the info, it helps me with collecting some statistics.
Thank you for this guide, worked perfectly!
Thank you for your awesome tutorial.
2620v3 on huananzhi x99-TF is now my main pc until 2678v3 arrives.
the performance gain is superb. In forza horizon 4 1080p ultra, matches with my r5 1600 @3.95ghz using vega56 @64.
edit: Gloway ddr4 Type β works on E5 2600v3 tested with nanya chips, dunno if micron chips works too.
Sadly, powev does not work on x99-tf so no rgb fun with those memories.
finally! thank you man, great video :)
:)
I followed this tutorial and unlocked my 2620 v3 on a Atermiter zx-99ev3_1.31v. Turbo boost unlock transform a kitten into a tiger. It's impressive the amount of performance you can get from inexpensive processors.
Thanks for another great video. ASRock X99 Extreme4 & Xeon E5-2697 v3 2.6GHz works like a charm with this mod and slight overclock by BCLK at 3.8GHz. Just as with previous method, for BIOS reading and flashing, use AFUDOS - FPT doesn't work with this motherboard.
Though, with undervolting, behaviour of this CPU is quite weird.
Without UV it work as intended with max multiplier (x36). Tried -20mV, -40mV or -60mV, and CPU on such setting reaches only x34 multiplier max, x35 or x36 is never seen even when using single-threaded application. Not big deal, but I would suggest to look into HWINFO or HWMonitor if CPU actually reaches desired frequency 😄
How did you undervolt? Using BIOS settings or a different FFS driver? Undervolting on branded motherboards might lead to uncertain consequences, such as yours.
@@Miyconst FFS driver, as in BIOS there is no such option with this CPU (it was available, when I previously had i7-6800K, but with Xeon it disappears, same with RAM multiplier).
I'll try to investigate why is this happening, because UV definitely works (lower Core Voltage from CPU-Z, lower temperatures), but issues with highest multiplier makes it not that profitable. Any ideas might be helpful ☺️
@@Pentium320. I could suggest to try another Turbo-Boost Unlocking method - the S3TurboTool. It injects the driver into another BIOS region and it may not affect the clock multiplier the same way, but without a motherboard on hand it's very hard to guess what's going wrong in there.
@Miyconst I've actually resolved the problem. Hard to say why was it an issue, but simple restoring UEFI defaults after flashing modded BIOS solved the problem - no idea why I haven't tried this before. Flashed BIOS with -60mV, and it was doing good with stress tests from Prime95 or OCCT, but after 2 days Windows randomly crashed with 0x124 BSOD, which as I think is CPU instability. -50mV works as intended, at least I hope so 😄
Funny thing is, that undervolting in my case didn't really help with temperatures, though CPU itself gained some performance (4807pts vs 5198pts in Cinebench R20) despite it's not overheating. Maybe another power limit or something, hard to say. Anyway, still, profit 😄
@@Pentium320. I have an E5- 2696 V3 and Asrock X99 Taichi Motherboard do you think I can do this on my build? I am new to this.
Thank you for this guide, I've just done it and it worked perfectly. 👍
Huananzhi x99 F8 + Xeon e5 2666 v3 with 20/20 undervolt.
I just did -50 -50 for 2678v3 and it works.
If you have common problem with blinking mouse/keyboard 4 times and long booting time to windows, it means that you forgot or didn't want to restore default bios settings.
Remove battery should work too.
Just sacrifice yourself, make a photo of your RAM OC and do it again. Don't be lazy CI/CD guy like me :D
Good point!
Great video as always Miyconst!
Back at it again with X99 flashing and new issue bow with the X99-D4.
Error 103 "There are no supported SPI flash devices installed-please check connectivity and orientation of SPI flash device" any suggestions on a fix? If theres not i might just desolder the bios chip and read the bios to make a copy and mod that
Keep up the hard work, my dude.
Worked perfectly on Machinist X99Z v102
Thanks to your videos I was able to build a nice gaming computer for my friend for a very good price
It had to be flashed with an external programmer with the ATX 24-pin plugged in but otherwise everything was perfectly fine
Great as always. Hope you're well these days.
Thanks Adam. I try to spend this lockdown to produce some more videos, but working remotely does not really give much extra free time.
@@Miyconst I wonder if those 0 or 1 stepped (or V4s for that matter) CPUs can be pushed to max turbo on compatible boards, I know that many ASRock MotherBoards, have such feature (as my X99 Taichi, where you don't have to flash BIOS to force max turbo).
@@Adam130694 I know that this hacked EFI / FFS drivers do not work with ES/QS chips, since those chips have different Turbo Boost algorithm, still, it might be possible to force max turbo frequency using the AsRock motherboards.
Guide for all operating systems *immediately shows every single step in windows only* GG
Feel free to blame American Megatredns and Microsoft for not providing tools to work with the BIOS under Linux.
@@Miyconst Yea, I get it but that just really sucks. I saw the title of the video and the little Tux you stuck in the corner of your thumb nail and got really pumped only to have the wind taken right out of my sails. I plan to give it a try, but will have to dig through storage this weekend (the shed, not disk storage) and track down a copy of Windows.
Hopefully this guide will work with my mobo model. Do you happen to keep a list of tested/reported compatible motherboards?
@@littleleelee2706 you can obtain a copy of Windows for free from the official Microsoft website, all you need is an empty media drive to create a Windows installer. I don't specifically keep track of compatible motherboards, because so far I have not met a single one, which would not work. BIOS modding method might be different, but turbo boost unlock works.
@@Miyconst I've had a chance to install windows on another drive and run through your steps. All cores are boosting to 3.5ghz on my 2690 v3 like they should. I can confirm this is working on the Huananzhi x99-bd4 under Pop!_OS. The only thing I wish I had more info on is what the numbers mean on the different Payne drivers. I got anecdotally from your video that it has to do with undervolting but have no idea what the numbers being in pairs means. I picked 20_20 but is that +/- 20 or -20 vcore and -20 somewhere else like vtt or vio... I just don't have any information here.
@@littleleelee2706 these numbers are voltage reduction in mv for Core & IMC (cache). Basically lower voltage lets CPU hold higher frequency at the same TDP, but also stresses VRM more.
Thank you, it worked like a charm
You are welcome!
Thanks for this video and the way to turboboost for Linux users ! Only thing I need to install Windows to get the bios files and do the MOD..
As usual, a complete and detailed video with all needed resource link ! Perfect work !!! Thank you. Ready to use Bios files are on the web site, into the presentation slide. Too bad for me no D8 bios... 8^)
I am using Huananzhi X99-F8 BIOS with my Kllisre X99 D8. There is no compatibility issues, but the Huananzhi BIOS has memory timings section. That's why I didn't prepare unlocked BIOS for Kllisre X99 D8. Regarding Windows installation - you can always use a virtual machine, it's very easy.
@@Miyconst Just great, still awaiting my D8....
@@Miyconst Great Miyconst!! Thank you for the tip of VM! That is what I was looking for :D ! Awesome
Hey Miyconst, I may have a stupid question for you, but beyond checking the frequency like you did at 8:20 is there any other way of looking? I recently got the Killsre x99 D4 with the e5 2620 v3.. All the cores went to the max frequency of 3.20ghz, right out of the box, when I benchmarked with CPU-Z. Could Killsre have updated the Bios since your review of that board? I only got the set up about 4 days ago
Yes. It seems like the latest Kllisre X99 D4 boards come with Turbo Boost unlock out of the box. A few other of my subscribers reported the same story. If you want to validate it, then create a BIOS backup and check that the 06F2 CPU microcode is missing.
@@Miyconstthanks for the feedback... interesting, nice to see killsre putting in the extra effort.

How long does asprogrammer take to flash the bios to bran new
Cool, very cool man! thanks a lot for that!
Great explanation as always👍
It says the download is no longer available
works great with my x99 Fatal1ty and 2699v3 at -90mV -50mV
Hello Miyconst, need you assistance will this method work with an E5-2696 V3 on a Asrock X99 Taichi Mobo? I don’t like cheap chinese mobos so which desktop x99 branded board will you recommend, I’m getting a Asrock X99 Taichi Mobo for around $100, please advise.
Yes, this method works with branded motherboards as well, but also you can try S3TurboTool instead. Most likely you would need an external flash programmer to flash the modded BIOS, detailed step-by-step instruction is available here: th-cam.com/video/4qX2zihB6UE/w-d-xo.html
@@Miyconst thanks, another noob question, will normal Desktop DDR4 work with Xeon E5 2696 V3? I’ve G Skill Trident Z DDR4 4x8GB 3600MHZ with me.
@@mohsinlari3409 yes, Xeon can work with regular desktop memory, but you need to check if your motherboard supports it, all X99 motherboards support it, but some server C612 motherboards require ECC REG memory.
Miyconst first, thank you for all your guides. I was wondering where to find the file on this guide. Your new tool doesn't work since i have MSI board. Hopefully you will have a working link again.
Hi there and thank you for the support. I have migrated the original article to my new blog place and updated the video description, please follow the new link. I can't just paste the link here, because TH-cam will delete the comment.
@@Miyconst thank you for updating your description. You're amazing on your presentation of your topics. They are straight to the point and yet i feel they have the most information.

You're the third site that i watched for using Tesla cards 'but yours is the one i feel was easiest to follow and return to. You answer the most important questions when shopping for an x99 board. You know your audience very well. Everything is so organized. Thank you. You spend a lot of time so that people around the world can save time (and money). Total respect for you Sir!
@@frithfly1 thank you very much for the support, it really means a lot to me.
Perfect. Just the answer I was looking for. Since I'll be booting UNRAID as a base operating system, I needed something like this. It seems like the UEFI Windows method is infinitely more complex than this. I wonder why it seems to be preferable? This method to me, just makes sense.
Can we modify the iEngineer BIOS'es like the OEM ones? It seems like they took the stock BIOS and cleaned it up a lot, but I can't see any documentation exploring if they enabled the ability for All-Core Unlock like this, out of the box. Are you planning on doing a video of aftermarket BIOS'es for these boards in the future? I think that kind of exploration would make for good content on your channel. Thank you again, as always for these uploads. Please keep making content!
You can modify iEngineer BIOS the same way as any other BIOS. I am staying in touch with iEngineer and he told me that his BIOS was developed from scratch and not based on the Chinese version. Also, his BIOS is deeply integrated with the hardware used on the motherboard, which gives better functionality, but brings issues when Chinese use similar, but not the same components. If you plan to try his BIOS - make sure to have a CH341A lying around.
@@Miyconst oh wow, I didn't expect a reply! I've never used one of those in the 20+ years I've been into PC's. How difficult are they to use? Do you think it might be worth the extra effort to do all that vs modifying the Chinese BIOS? for my needs I'm not so certain, since I think I might only need the All-Core Turbo unlock. Stability will be super important, as it's my NAS first and my gaming rig second.
It's not difficult at all, but I would still not bother about it. Here you will find basic usage guide for CH341A: www.miyconst.com/Blog/View/2086/ch341a-minimal-usage-guide-how-to-read-and-write-a-motherboard-bios
You are the best. Shame you havent more viewers
This is fantastic, thanks
Thanks for great videos!
You should have more subscribers.

Thanks man. My channel is still very young, hopefully, if I continue producing quality content there will be more views and subscribers.
@@Miyconst Indeed really like your channel and you bring to the world a lot of Russian cool tricks to the English speaking world. Because of you, I subscribed to some other Russian TH-camrs too. You guys have some cool stuff with the Chinese made products.
Thanx bro! that wos wonderfull! it's realy works!
Do you know if it works also with the Xeon "Intel Confidential" versions?
Please watch the video. You need a V3 CPU with stepping 2 according to CPU-Z. If you engineering sample has stepping 2, you can apply this hack, otherwise no.
@Miyconst 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I found out how you can get even more performance out of your CPU. It is possible to increase the TDP by 20% indefinitely. In your case, that would be 144W instead of 120W.
The following steps are necessary to do this:
1. Open your actual UEFI-file of your MSI mainboard with the AMIBCP 5 tool.
2. Go to: Common RefCode Configuration / Setup / Overclocking.
3. Search for "DigitALL Power", and change Access/Use from default to USER.
4. Save this file to an USB-stick.
5. Reset the PC, go to UEFI and flash this file.
6. Go to the UEFI.
7. Change the Overclocking / DigitAll Power / CPU Over Current Protection setting from Auto to 120%.
Done, the "Turbo power short duration" is held indefinitely, not just 32 seconds.
Thank you for the great finding. This applies to MSI X99A SLI Plus motherboard or which one did you test with?
Your the best! Thank you again
Raising the BCLK makes sense if the TDP limit is not reached, like in games or general computing.
Some great stuff here!
great, you are a real IT guy!
This is amazing and easy to use. thanks alot
Hi I come back to bother you for another question, I own a MSI X99a gaming 7 which still has no processor and I am evaluating this issue, my first option was to acquire an E5-2699v4 for my rendering and animation work, I understand that it was the best I could install on that platform....
...but after getting your channel and all this new information, it seems more tempting to try an equal version 3 processor to get the benefits of this modification. I'm asking if you think an older E5-2699v3 can benefit from this and outperform the newer one?
In my work the speed is very important, but also the number of cores, both influence directly in reducing the calculation times in a directly proportional way. Thank you very much in advance for your answer, it is a pleasure to have contact with someone of your expertise.
Yes and yes. Xeon E5-2699 V3 supports turbo boost unlock and will outperform V4 version in such case.
I have found a video where someone compares the performance of both processors and it seems that the v3 is running on a mobo that has this bios modification, as it maintains the speed of 3,6ghz in all cores and this is much higher than normal for this processor, while the v4 stays at 2,8ghz as expected.
LINK: th-cam.com/video/MtGJk3SDaNo/w-d-xo.html
In the end it seems that the v4 still manages to outperform the v3 thanks to the 8 extra threads it has.
The really important difference is in price - the v3 can now be had for less than half the cost of a v4, and that makes a big difference.
@@iconospacio you also need to keep in mind that even though in the best case scenario, when all CPU cores are used, V4 managed to slightly beat V3, you won't be able to see these results in most of the other cases, since many apps still rely on high CPU clock frequency.
@@Miyconst Understood perfectly and thank you very much for your comment, this hack is amazing.
I can confirm this is working on my Huananzhi x99 bd4
This very useful information.
Have you ever attempted to edit the bios of a b650 motherboard to try and unlock pcie 5.0 for the first x16 pcie slot (the one handled directly by the cpu)?
I have never tried that and see absolutely no reason to try it.
Hey man! thanks for the video! Works perfect on windows. Doesn't seem to have an effect on hackintosh. Turbo works but speed is not locked. In case you were wondering.
Question, how do I know which TU driver I need for my CPU? My motherboard is Dual socket with E5-4669V3 single cpu ONLY right now... (The motherboard is unbranded, but from your recommendation I will be upgrading to a Huananzhi X99 F8D Dual later on)
Different TU drivers use different voltage reduction. Each CPU has its own limits. Some can work with -100 mv, others are limited to -50, thus it's only you who can find the best value for your particular CPU.
Can you please make a permanent bios unlock tutorial for the Machinist x99 motherboard? And does this have any downsides/ compatibility and stability issues?
Machinist X99Z motherboard is the most problematic out of all I have tested, there are versions with 8 MB and 16 MB BIOS. Mine X99Z has died while I attempted to overclock i7-6800k, but I have managed to revive it, thus I plan to make a follow up video, but it won't be a comprehensive guide, since I no longer have the motherboard.
@@Miyconst Hey, what is the best x99 motherboard to get on ebay? There is mostly Machinist which you said are problematic! Can you link me some reliable X99 motherboards! Thanks!
@@Coolbrosdead123 Machinist X99Z is an okay board, as long as you don't plan to overclock your CPU or mess with the BIOS. Other than that, it's JingSha X99 D8, X99 D4 and Huananzhi boards.
6:20 - "find the desired ffs file and inject it"
>doesn't show how to do that step
Very nice guide :)
The video has almost 40k views, and so far everyone was able to watch the video without skipping fragments. 05:00 - 06:20 I tell how exactly you inject a driver.
Hi, thanks so much for all you do sharing your work like this. I'm working on a Machinist x99 w/ locked bios, FPT failed to backup existing bios. You mentioned using afuwin to flash the bios; will afuwin flash your Machinist x99 -20mv lazy .rom file? If afuwin is not successful I would need to do method 2 on your website using USB correct?
If you are using the Machinist X99Z, then you can use AFUWin to flash the BIOS.
How do I unlock on a linux machine?
I don't think it's possible, sorry.
one guestion will this work on a artemiter x99 board? it looks like a plex hd board you reviewed.
i tried a first turbo boost from another tuto, and tested it, then later, i made this turbo boost and compared to the first one i gained more points on cinebench R23
here are the scores with original bios, first turbo boost and then this one !
multicore score:
stock original bios :9075
first turbo boost :9691
miyconst turbo boost :9756
single core score:
stock original bios :745
first turbo boost :733
miyconst turbo boost :746
You might be able to achieve even higher results if you reduce the CPU voltage even further, but thanks for the info!
So, can I just flash this Huananzhi F8 unlocked bios stright onto my Kllisre D8? I don't have the USB programmer and if I cannot change the bios after flashing the first time, I fear to brick my motherboard. Congratulations on the awesome content!
If you fear to brick your motherboard - you shall not by from AliExpress 😃. Most likely the X99-F8 BIOS provided by me is going to work on your Kllisre X99 D8, but I can't guarantee that, so the risk is yours.
@@Miyconst About that, you could post a video detailing how to program the motherboard bios in order to unbrick it and also where to buy this USB programmer. Thanks for the reply 😉
@@wagnerbrochini3892 Thank you for the idea, I will think about it.
@@wagnerbrochini3892 did it work for you?
@@daemonkisure2952 Sorry brother, didn't try it...
please tell me how to download already modified bios x99 tf? i mean . Ready made BIOS files for Huananzhi, Kllisre, JingSha, and Machinist X99 motherboards: 08:57
It's available to download from the last page of the Google Slides presentation.
Hi Miyconst,
Reviving this video, i have in hands an e3-1265l v3 haswell xeon in an gigabyte 1150 mobo. It is possible to unlock turbo boost of theses xeons as well?
It's not possible, sorry.
@@Miyconst thanks ^^
Hi, looking to buy my first X99 system and going to start with 2666v3, which motherboard will be the best to handle 2697v3 or up to 2699v3 all core turbo when I upgrade? The bundle with 2666v3 is Machinist MR9A Pro, is it good enough for 2697 or 2699v3 turbo? If not, which board should I get? Thank you! Hope you're safe and your loved ones are safe!
Welcome to watch this video, it answers all your questions: th-cam.com/video/AW0QgQNbBwA/w-d-xo.html
@@Miyconst Thank you, I decided to get Huananzhi QD4 with E5 2666 v3. It has 2x Gen3x4 NVME slots which I want and is mATX (good bonus, ATX too big) If I need more power for handbrake and encoding, I will sell the system and upgrade to 12gen intel it is cheaper late 2023 or early 2024 maybe. Stay safe!
Which x99 Chinese motherboard do you suggest for a basic turbo boost unlock? I'm planning a xeon build and I want to unlock all the power I can :)
Depends on your budget and needs. Huananzhi X99-TF if you need DDR3 support otherwise Huananzhi X99-F8 / Kllisre X99 D8. If you are looking for an mATX motherboard - then pick Huananzhi X99-8M, greed one supports DDR4, orange one supports DDR3.
@@Miyconst thanks :)
You're the only reliable source for this kind of mobos so it felt natural to ask you this question, keep it up with the videos because they're top notch
Do I have to re-do this method if I perform a reformat on my SSD/Hard Drive? Or is it permanently done in my bios unless I revert it back to normal bios? Thanks man! I'm a big fan!
Great video, indeed, and you're doing an excellent job as usual.
My question, do you think I should try it on a dual CPU mobo, ASUS Z10PE-D16 WS? Or it may brick the mobo?
I hope you will find a time to answer this, thank you.
You can definitely try, but so far, all reports I am getting from my subscribers, is that injecting FFS driver does not properly work with dual socket motherboards, manual EFI driver installation works well.
@@Miyconst Ok, thank you very much. When I'll find the time, I will try it and then let you know about the result.
I have the same motherboard, I would be interested if you got it working one way or another. thanks!
@@xcimo1 Didn't find the time (and courage) to do it... yet.
Do you know of any way I can accomplish the unlock on an EVGA X99 micro? I’m thinking not but there is always a chance I suppose.
The turbo boost unlock hack works exactly the same on all X99 boards, but the branded motherboards often have write-protected BIOS and you need to use an external USB flash programmer to flash a modified BIOS. Watch my other video on how to do that: th-cam.com/video/4qX2zihB6UE/w-d-xo.html
Miyconst Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!
I have Machinist x99z with 8mb bios, what's gone happed then i flash 16mb bios file ?
Bad eng i knows
Yo mate, what about the v3_payne_40_40? Ive saw someone using that one instead the default payne_0_0.
Its risky the 40/40? Increases the heat of the cpu?
Sorry for this newbie question! You'r amazing!
The 40_40 numbers in the file name mean voltage reduction in millivolts. Thus, 0_0 = stock voltages, 40_40 = 40 millivolts reduction in CPU voltages and 40 millivolts reduction in CPU Memory controller voltages. Most of the Xeon E5 CPUs can handle at least 50 millivolts reduction, but to be on the safe side, it's recommended to start with 0_0, and then slowly reduce the voltage, if you want to reduce CPU power consumption.
@@Miyconst Safe side always! Thanks for the answer!
Great content. Support.
Hey, could you explain how the unlock driver works? Is the old microcode just required to let the driver do it's part and then windows can load a "newer" microcode? I'm just asking because I want to know if the spectre/meltdown fixes (new microcode) can be combined with the unlock? Or are we stuck with the old micrcode?
We are stuck with the old code, these patches are not compatible, as far as I know, but I might be wrong.
@@Miyconst You can use a new microcode, just the bios needs to be patched. Once the old microcode is loaded and the patch was applied the newer microcode doesn't change the turbo clocks. So from a security perspective it's fine. The problem is that the mod is lost upon going to standby/turn on again. Anyone had similiar issues? Is there a fix?
@@duketwo22 yes, this issue has been fixed in the S3TurboTool that injects the FFS driver into another BIOS region.
@@Miyconst Thank you! Worked like a charm. I had issues with the PEI mode, but the raw driver worked for me! Now everything is fine, even after s3 sleep :) Btw, if anybody has issues with russian: You can use ILSpy or any other C# decompiler to look at the source code of the S3TurboTool.
I have a question, the Kllisre board I bought is Killsre "X99Z V102", is it possible to unlock with this guide too or will I brick the board?
The motherboard you have is Machinist X99Z. Use mine Mi899 app to unlock Turbo Boost.
