That makes sense, I think a lot of detailed stuff is easier to find and or check in windows too, but this is probably mainly due to tools available and or knowing where/how to check better due to daily use vs some other OS

Ha, yes, ram SPD info isn't something to look at here, unless you need to check if the ram is actual ECC enabled maybe.
Being a board manufacturer, you'd think they'd have some of these memory specific testing tools,but maybe not since they don't sell mainly servers where ECC is used most of the time.

Yea, I think they are a newer company, that would explain the evaluation version of the AMI BIOS and all the debug options. The board also has a debug header!

It seems many companies are taking advantage of the cheap Xeons (v1, v2 and now v3 and v4) have hit End-of-Life cycle that are being retired from the enterprise market. They are being recycled into the used market and available for a fraction of their retail cost. That explains the many X79 and and now X99 boards from the Chinese motherboard makers.

I think all BIOS are like that, but most hide tons of stuff from everyone for various reasons.

Same thing happened with X58 Xeons as well, and those boards still have high resale value after all this time too

@Lost_N_BIOS here's the BIOS with ECC working

[ removed at factory request ]

@e97 - nothing attached? Thanks, for sharing once you do post, I will keep copy handy in case someone else needs it later (I would edit in their info, in case yours is there ie dumped BIOS etc)
So, what did they have to do eventually, did they explain?

Would you mind doing me a favor? Reupload this package of ME FW if you would (not to Mega and not firefox upload thing either), thanks

Added another link. I'm not sure, havent diffed the BIOS'es yet but looks like they changed the platform to C612 vs X99, maybe that init'd the ECC code.

Thanks! Hmm, so it was maybe a ME FW issue? I didn't look in there, maybe ECC control is there too

Please see my edit above, thanks

You rock!

Hi,

I am facing the same problem with this motherboard. Could you please pm me the new bios @e97?

Moreover, did you check if vt-x and vt-d is working?

Thanks.

@e97 Could you also provide me the latest BIOS for the Jingsha/Kllisre X99 DDR3 board? Next to the ECC issue, while running it under Linux I have also encountered a X99 platform bug which is exposed when using an Intel i350 LAN card (workaround is to use "pci=nommconf" as a boot parameter) - see: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions...ror-aer-bad-tlp [the LAN card works without issues on Windows though]

Further reading suggests that there is a BIOS fix needed from Intel.

Another unrelated issue is that Secureboot complains that the factory default signatures are invalid.

By the way, I can run the BIOS from the Huananzhi X99-TF (the latest from August 2020 doesn't bring the memory timing settings menu, but it boots noticebly faster than older Huananzhi BIOS revisions) on that board, but there are other ACPI errors popping up there which I don't get with the stock bios.

Dear e97, please, e-mail me the BIOS with proper REG ECC support under Linux.

Hi,

I've been reading this thread with great interest.
I have a MSI X99A Godlike Gaming CARBON motherboard paired with a E5-2697v3 CPU. I can't get this motherboard to post with registered ECC RAM. I would really like to use registered ECC RAM with this motherboard and I'm thinking if this can be a hidden option in BIOS as X99A Workstation motherboard have officially support for registered ECC RAM.

Unfortunately I can't post links yet as I'm a new member.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
