Alright, let me start over from the beginning. I think there is a misunderstanding now.

I came to this forum because I was trieing to overclock my 2600k with a fatality performance p67.
I couldn't make it work, can't get past multiplier 38 on the bios, and even when I save it as 38, it doesn't show in windows. I've tried every setting I could find on the internet, it just doesn't seem to work. As if this mobo version doesn't support it, or is in clash with windows 10? I don't know anymore.

Cause of the fact that I couldn't overclock my i7, I up and downgraded my bios version, where as at some point, I got a faulty bios version, and I needed a new one from you guys, since well you know that story.

Now I'm trying to see if I can get this setup to work, and I found out that I can't OC my memory as well. Or at least, it doesn't show the XMP features. That should be supported in both my mobo and memory.

So back to the main question, since you fixed the bios version for me so I could use my pc again ( stock ), I want to overclock my CPU.
Therefor you said that it might be a bad bios version, since the bios version of 2.1 or higher have the intell 3th generation added with the Ivy Bridge. According to you, I might try to downgrade to bios version 1.3 ( this version didnt had support for Ivy ) and see if I can overclock it from there. But if I remember right, when I tried to downgrade my bios to 1.3, the shit of the faulty bios version started, and I had to ask you guys to extract me the right bios.

Anyhow, here is the info you asked for.

Can't find any other bios versions then 1.3 or lower and 2.1 or 2.2.

Installed the right IME version, from the official website, no changes.
Tried installing F-Stream from the official website, windows 10x64 platform, but when trying to install, it says that it isnt made for this machine.
Found a F-Stream program a bit older that actually worked.
Still looking for a legit IME that works. I think that is the problem.

As you can see, this guy over here had the same problem with the same chipset.

Still a no go after a whole day of googling ...

There is something wrong with all of this.

@Artyni - your issue with 2600K sounds like you have a messed up BIOS and or ME FW, this can sometimes be fixed by a BIOS reflash AND a ME FW reflash (not always easy, especially if it's corrupted)
Other times, that can only be fixed with flash programmer, even if BIOS and ME look fine, for some unknown reason. This has nothing to do with Win10

There is no XMP should be in memory, you must check and confirm it's there, as I mentioned. Not all memory has XMP profiles. Thanks for the image, your memory does have one XMP Profile at 1600MHz
Old or new BIOS should work fine for you to OC with, when using SB CPU, but yes, it may be some issue with the BIOS itself, so maybe need to try older Pre-Ivy one. However, I would leave this as last resort, probably BIOS and ME FW needs fixed by flash programmer.
This >> the shit of the faulty bios version started <<< Tells me nothing.

What ME FW did you install, from what website, and how did you install it? If you mean from Asrock, they do not provide ME FW, only ME drivers. ME FW is a part of the BIOS, it has to be reflashed we ME FW update tool, or with FPT program if ME Region is unlocked
What is F-Stream? Sounds like something we aren't discussing here, Ohh yes, I see, some overclock app from Asrock, nothing we're doing here.

Please download ME System Tools V8 package from section "C" in this thread
Intel Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware & System Tools

Inside you will find a MEINfo folder, inside that a Win or Win32 folder. Select that Win/Win32 folder, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (Not power shell).
At the command prompt, type the following and show me output image or copy/paste text here into a spoiler tag >> MEInfoWin.exe -verbose

DO NOT use FPT for anything other than I mention here, don't read other threads, or do something you see mentioned in this or other threads etc. Only do as I mentioned, as we proceed, otherwise you can brick your system in one click.

Back to the ME System Tools root set of folders, find Flash Programming Tool folder, and inside that a Windows or Win/Win32 folder. Select that Win folder, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (Not power shell).
At the command prompt type the following command and send me the created file to modify >> FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin
Additionally, run this command and send me this file as well >> FPTw.exe -desc -d fd.bin

What are you talking about when you mention "Maps" and they didn't work for you? If something is not working, please be exact, explain the issue and what you're trying to do, show image of error etc, otherwise we have to waste a reply/wait/reply to figure out what you meant.

Plutomaniac - Above MEInfo report looks all OK, correct? I think so, but this still may not indicate it's OK as we've seen in similar instances where only programmer could fix BIOS/ME issue causing CPU/Mem clock issues.
Additionally, this means only flash programmer or BIOS edit if we can get it in and FPT flash is only way to do the ME FW re-write correct?
Host Read Access to ME: Disabled
Host Write Access to ME: Disabled
FD is locked for ME - R/W

Anyway, I've done this same dance before, I know BIOS reflash and ME reflash wont fix this, only flash programmer corrects this usually, but maybe we'll get lucky.

DOS wont give you any errors, unless you use incorrect commands or didn't copy all the files from the DOS folder to the root of your USB stuck. Still, unsure what you mean about MAP?

Yes, I would have ordered a flash programmer long ago. It may not be required, but it is the easiest way to fix this.
You need CH341A + SOIC8 test clip with cable if BIOS is soldered to board, or U Type Flat IC Extractor if BIOS is in a socket
Let me know if you need links to these items on ebay as examples.

I still have no idea what you mean about "Maps" maybe some translation error? Windows/Windows64 folder are not for use in DOS, only the DOS folder contents.

Yes, that is BIOS in a socket. Here's examples of what you need on ebay, but you can get from other sellers that ship faster or are closer to you etc, or other local shops online also sell this kind of stuff

That BIOS sticker looks factory, so if someone replaced the chip they moved the sticker to new chip or salvaged a chip from another same model board that already had sticker on it.

When you get programmer, you dump BIOS contents, send to me and wait.
Do not erase the chip or try to write anything until I tell you it's OK and I've checked your dump and it's a good BIOS dump, this way you don't loose any board specific details.
For W25Q64BV use software version 1.30, here is main driver and several software versions - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...257455007472602

Here is guide on how to use programmer
https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-G...341A-programmer << Same as one directly below, but with all images expanded/visible at once
[GUIDE] Flash BIOS with CH341A programmer

You will be placing chip into programmer instead of cable, make sure you notice the divot in the chip and socket, BIOS must always go into socket that direction.
Pin one is on divot side, so you know how to stick into programmer per the above guide instead of a cable w/ dip adapter.

Open software 1.30, and you can do this now, on the "Auto" function, uncheck erase/blank, that way nothing accidentally gets erased by you hitting auto on accident.
There here is steps once all setup and chip is in programmer
1. Read
2. Verify
3. If verify match (buffer and chip match) then save file and send to me to confirm valid dump.

Once ready, I will outline steps for you to write BIOS.

Damn, those delivery times ..

I will get back to this topic once I have one! There are some for sale here in the Netherlands as well, a bit more expansive, but at least I will have it not in 2 months.

The guide you linked doesn't show the images anymore. :-(

There we go.

@Artyni _ I checked the guide just now, images appear OK. Maybe it was some issue that day, please check again now if you still need. Backup looks good.
What is your CHIP ID and what software version are you using, in case I need to advise you to use another ID or software version if write fails?

Here is fixed BIOS - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...231697472559527
1. Erase Chip
2. Blank check
3. Open BIOS file I sent
4. Hit Auto (should already only have Write/Verify Checked)
5. Once verify is done, if success chip and buffer match, close app
6. Open app, read chip
7. Verify - If success verify - chip and buffer match, save file
8. Compare that new dump in hex to the file I sent you, if 100% match, all is good, remove clip or pull chip from programmer and put back into board

Unplug PSU from the wall, or remove 24/8pin from the board, press and hold the case power on switch or short the power on pins for 10-15 seconds. Then let board sit without any power for 1+ minute, this resets the ME state.
Plug power back in and Boot to BIOS, load optimized defaults, reboot back to BIOS and make any other changes you need, then test if you can OC past 38 now - should be

It works, thank you very much.
Running on a stable OC now, with just 42 degrees max temprature while stress testing.

You're the best!

@Artyni - Awesome, great to hear it and thanks for quick report back!
You're welcome Nice temps too
