Zitat von Kangoor im Beitrag #869Hmm.. ok. Do you have a processor that you used before? If so, did you check if the computer starts up on it?
I also used the CoffeeLake MOD tool 2019.1229. He creates the BIOS MOD by selecting the option of my i3-9100f processor, but the file that it generates I cannot write through Bios Flash Black. I watched several tutorials on Youtube but without success.
Zitat von Kangoor im Beitrag #874I don't know. Maybe try modify BIOS with option numer 4(?) i5 8xxx/9400f.
I just did that and recorded it and same problem, turn it on and off.
I saw here in a post that there was a person with the same problem in another system. The problem was the pins that need contact. I'm using Aluminum Tape and the glue that you have should not be making contact on the processor pads.
The shorting does look okay, if that silver stuff is conducting at all (which most silver stuffs are supposed to be). But if the falsh was done using Flashback, one should dump UEFI and check, wether SKU mod/hack was correctly applied. While some Asus seem to ship unlocked, most got locked descriptor region, so one needs unlock mod or flash programmer at least once. Does the mainboard stay on long enough to show a boot up code? If yes, than the shutdown is not due to improper CPU mod, that would cause self-off in a literal split second. Improper flashed mod UEFI however takes much longer: System starts booting and only during initialisation (i guess 1-3 seconds) IME notices "hey, I am a Z270. I should not be able to run this processor".

This gray ribbon I'm using has glue under it. With a multimeter I did the continuity test and had to press hard to be able to have contact over the glue. I don't think she's making contact with the processor pads.

How do I check that the SKU mod / hack was applied was applied correctly?
There ist no need to contact the processor pads. ;-) SKTOCC mod is for the mainboard: The pins need to be shorted, otherwise the board assumes the socket to be empty and does not power it on. The mod is only done on the CPU because it is easy to do there and almost nothing to destroy, whether modding the pins would be pretty tricky. However if this tape is not meant to be conductive (and conductive tape shoul have conductive glue), but just to look metallic, it probably does not conduct properly at all or has a suface coating requiring lot of pressure on tiny probe tips to break.

That's probably the tape I'm using. I'll take it out and do it with graphite!
You might also check whether there is a board mod for IX Formula. Asus often routes the SKTOCC somwhere in the toplayer where vias brake the surface or installs deditcated debug solderpads on the board. Shorts there are just as effective as in the socket an easily done, if a ground pad is somewhere close. This is defintetly the prefered method on IX Apex, Hero and VIII Impact, but I do not know whether Formula has the same contact arrangement. (VIII Ranger didn't, so I modded the much more valuable CPU, not the old board)
Hi guys! Can someone tell me what should I do with motherboardwihich BIOS supports only Skylake CPUs? There are no BIOSes supports Kabylake designed for this motherboard. Am I right with all instructions described here don't intend for my case? Thx
