@Yazon2006 If you want to check just a version of ME it's lying in Main menu of your bios.
Also, to replace ME version in newer bios with old one you're free to extract ME region from older BIOS then you just insert older ME region in newer one using UEFITool.

Nope. Nor ME 11.0.10.1002 nor ME 11.6.13.1212 does not work in my case. Microcode 906EA ver 84. With 8600k motherboard doesn't start. Only powerup for a half of a second.

@Yazon2006 I didn't go far under 1xx board so i could be wrong. As i understood for any six core processor should be done physical pin mod. Did you do this mod?

@RussianEnthusiast Yes, sure. Without pin mod it has zero reaction to power button push event.

@Yazon2006 This may be caused by a flashing error. I guess that you are using CH341A software which is shit. Try to use flashrom for windows.

@Wolf Larsen I don't think so. Validation process goes without any problems and also backup process of current woking BIOS works well.

I replaced microcodes and ME Firmware from already patched BIOSes of similar asus motherboards. Exactly the same result. It powers off after a half of a second after I push button.
I missed something important. Can't get a clue what exactly.

@Yazon2006 did you use FIT to change the sku to z370?

@Yazon2006 Try to use this BIOS.

Let's just pull out a big topic here. Let's say that in my Asrock Z170 Gaming K6 I flash the bios for NON-K skylake overclock, but I inject the coffee lake microcode on it. Could it BCLK overclock, since the ME is old and the bios can BCLK OC skylake?

@ItxLeo no it was an older skl microcode that allowed bclk overclocking.

@Dnatwork i too noticed some slightly tarnished pins on the socket of my Asus board when inspecting it in better lightning, however their positions differ compared to your case.

By the way thanks for your post #122. I moved on the new board (Asrock H110M DGS R3) and your instructions were helpful.

Apparently there are only two slots for cpu microcodes in the bios. Is it possible to increase the amount of slots?

@mcf, thanks for the thumbs up on the earlier posting. I would have liked more than two microcodes, but I never got around to trying to do that. Life got busy again. But other folks here say they've done it (read the entire thread and follow to the other threads they mention).
