Did you update to BIOS in post #28 above yet? If not, do that now, and then disable Non-K OC and see if that helps, also try with and without K-OC enabled too.
Make sure in windows, Microcode FFFF0006 is being used or not (Check with AIDA64 or HWINFO64)

Please message seller also, and ask him if there is a better microcode version than FFFF0006 to use, and if yes ask what version he suggests. Same for Intel ME version, which does he think is best to use.
Be sure to say first, CPU is working for you OK, that way he doesn't think you purchased without reading his warning

I cannot find different microcode version than that one, so it could be the only one there is?

CPU-Z

Seller tells me that i need Z87 only but dont know wich model

You don't "Need" Z87, Z97 works too, but yes sometimes Z87 might be better due to BIOS options. Ask him directly, which Intel ME and CPU microcode revision works best for the CPU
Or, you can also ask him, please upload for you the Z87 BIOS he likes best, that will give us ME version and Microcodes he thinks are best too. He/they all know exactly about ME and microcode, they mention it in their listings, so they can't act like they don't know about "BIOS internals" you know

What is CPU-z text for?

HWInfo it shows here


AIDA64 it shows here


Looks like you info is from AIDA64 correct? And I see microcode 6h, which could be correct and it's just abbreviating the FFFF0006, see what HWInfo64 shows

Yeah. That was AIDA info.

HWInfo shows this:

FFFF0006

and Ratio Overclocking Not Supported

Did you try the BIOS in post #28, using suggestions from post #31. If yes, you may need different board, one they mention in their sales pages for those CPU's

Im worried about it can fail this update and i will see black screen...

Practiccly my board have DualBios but don't know how to run it

@korzychxp -That BIOS is fine as long as you flash safely. I modify these BIOS all the time, nothing to worry about there. DO NOT flash with @BIOS, only from DOS or Qflash.
Plus, that wasn't really mod BIOS anyway, only changed few setting states to be visible for you, nothing really modified in there just settings changed so they are enabled for view/setting - so no worries

Ok i updated it and nothing has changed.

What is interesting that CPU-Z says that my CPU has no limit overclocking bins but max turbo is only 32...

What i found to Xeons and microcodes
https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/wha....2496647/page-3

Did you try with and without K-OC and Non-K OC enabled/disabled?

That thread is more about removing microcodes and other stuff for different Xeons. Did you read it all, or a lot of it? I've been linked that thread many times, for other boards not this series (Like X79 or X99, or Z170 etc, I forget but never applied to Z87/Z97)
If you want BIOS with microcode removed so you can try some of that stuff covered in that thread let me know, ic an make for you. But for Z87/Z97 I've never seen anyone doing that, only using certain microcode and ME versions (Which you have I think, but may not be exact correct ones which is why I told you to ask seller)

Max 32 turbo, is that all you can set in BIOS? What if you set CPU multiplier above 32, then can you set higher turbo?
Did seller ever tell you which microcode and ME combo he suggests?

You may need Z87 for MCE (Multi-core-enhancement), but the above Non-K OC enabled or disabled should allow MCE functionality (I forget which). Not actual setting in Gigabyte BIOS, but that combo of settings allow it to happen for some CPU

I do not know outcome of removed microcodes for this board, I would not do it without a hardware flash programmer in hand in case you need it to recover.
I see you made new thread here, and new thread at BIOS-mods forum, wanting other microcodes? I told you before, I can put any microcode you want into the BIOS, let me know which you want and I will do, it's very simple mod.

CPU-z changes max multi, but nothing else, sounds like ME problem possibly, maybe still need older version?

So, what, your seller is the only one in China without a long "Disclaimer" of you "Must use these xxx boards and this xxx boards don't work, due to "Special BIOS stuff" like it's a secret they can't explain?
He's full of it , he knows exactly what microcode and ME. Tell him to send you a BIOS for a single motherboard he KNOWS that it works in, that will answer it all for us.
As I said before, I do think I picked from research the correct ME and microcodes and they were already in your BIOS, but if you want either changed to some other version you have to read around, find out which works for what you want, and then I can change those to whatever version you want.

Try to find someone using your CPU or similar on B85, and then see what they all discussed.
