@malucul dont suppose you could test with some none ecc ram, just i literally have piles of it here, and the project im building doesn't require ecc

@TechStream Would if I could, but unfortunately I don’t actually have any. Sorry man :(

In other news I got the CPU-Z and Cinebench screenshots. Will upload after dinner.

Well some news from me, I just finally managed to get my board up and running with a retail bronze 3104, and some Corsair Vengance LPX 2666Mhz ram. And thanks, i'll have to check that bios out. Keep up the fantastic work you guys. I really appreciate your time and trouble you put in.

If flashback seems to be possible can someone made the file?
If i could I would do it myself, but i can‘t.
Perhaps someone with retail cpu and programmer can test it.
I‘m proud of you guys you made an amazing job.

hi, thank so much for your work.
i would like to know what if the board can run with step H0 (ES CPU, not retail), and the revision 50654h?
also, since Cascade is out, i wonder what if the mod bios can work with new cpu (ES cpu, same H0, and revision 50654h)?

@nhan72nn

We would nee to know full cpuid to be even begin to help. If you go through the last few posts you can see which cpuids have been tested and confirmed to work.

hi TechStream, i am thinking to buy this http://www.cpu-world.com/sspec/QM/QMRV.html, but not sure if it work with the board or not. i have checked the posts, only mention to QL1K or QL1L, etc, no one has mentioned about QMxx which stepping is not B0 but H0.

That QMRV is a QS (100% identical to retail except for the product string and IHS lasering) - it will work on the board without needing any mods.

@nhan72nn - In the mod BIOS avd posted, you'll need to insert some version of 50654, then it may work, but unsure which ucode revision to use - there is none for 50654 in there right now (see my notes on post #208)
Stock BIOS may work as-is with the CPU you mentioned, you'll have to test first and find out what happens, before you go looking into mod BIOS.

hi @_haru do you have any proof to show that? i am curious since i really want to buythose cpus and asus board, but i am afraid.

hi @Lost_N_BIOS, i would like o try, but they are costly and hard to return and get refund.
i would like to buy MB from Asus and insert the cpus to check, but not sure what if Asus allows me to return and get full refund for the board.

Then you must wait for someone with 50654 similar CPU to mod BIOS, or ask me/someone to mod BIOS, to re-insert some revision of the 50654 ucodes
Or as I mentioned, using stock BIOS it should work, just as _haru said too, since 8160 is on the QVL - https://www.asus.com/Commercial-Servers-...E/HelpDesk_CPU/

H0 stepping is what was used by Linus Tech Tips and worked with a stock bios.

@avd

In your pics you look to be using an SOIC8 clip rather than an SOIC16 clip? Will an SOIC8 clip be ok?

EDIT: Ignore me being daft.

@nhan72nn the cpu-world DB entry you linked has all the information - it's the same stepping as retail, with identical specs.

@Lost_N_BIOS H0 is a retail stepping, and this chip is a QS (Qualification Sample), so no BIOS modding is needed.
