@Lost_N_BIOS do you have any idea to my last post? Sorry for asking 🙂

@Dave the throttling may be due to VRM temps, do you have a non Xeon BIOS you can confirm this with? Put a fan on VRM and see if throttle happens at same exact time or not.
Or, it could be microcode issue, did you try updating microcode for your CPU in 0608 BIOS to 2015 version?

@Lost_N_BIOS This issue is appearing on the x58 Asus motherboards on clocks higher then 4Ghz. Only the 0006 bios is solving this because it is an beta bios from asus. You can set the TDP higher on this bios. But the 0006 is not working on the p6td deluxe. So the idea was to vring this function to a working bios. But so far I have no idea by myself for coding this stuff 😀

My motherboard for this desktop is the Asus P6T (plain vanilla flavour). I modded this thing ages ago and it is still running
at 4.625Ghz with a closed loop watercooler from Corsair H110i GTX. I picked up a XEON x5680 for $140 new OEM about 5 years ago.
It is still my 'daily driver' although I dropped in an LSI 9270-8i RAID card about 3-4 years ago and ran 4 units of the Samsung 850 SSD
in RAID5 for $180. It churns out 2450MB/s, which is almost todays NMVe performance.

Here is my efforts from some years back:


ASUS P6T (vanilla flavor) Meltdown & Spectre CPU updates

I'm in tax reporting time for the next week, after that I may have a look.


Cheers

The updated microcode "cpu206C2_plat03_ver0000001F_2018-05-08_PRD_77DADA73.bin" covers the following cpus as per Intel Aug 2019 guidance found here:

Scroll down to "Westmere" processors on page 21 for confirmation...


Intel® Xeon® Processor W3670, W3680

Intel® Xeon® Processor X5647, X5650, X5660, X5667, X5670, X5672, X5675, X5677, X5680, X5687, X5690, X5698

So you should be good to go!

Sorry for taking so long to give you a feedback about your biosmod.

The board arrived with an i7 920 and i got 2 samples of X5675.
The bios programmer is working fine.

The board came with 2209 bios version, the lastest from ASUS official Site.
No problem with X5675 to post.

With your modified bios I cant boot with Xeon but works fine with i7 920.

Can you check its everything ok with the mod on 0006 bios?

Thanks @Lost_N_BIOS

Hi. is there any chance that I can enable offset vcore mode instead of only manual or auto? thanks

Hi,

all the tinyupload links are not working, is there a chance for a reupload?

My current issue:
While cleaning my pc from dust I've decided to flash a meltdown/spectre modded bios (via motherboard built in tool) which I've got from techpowerup forums. Now my computer turned to shit. Every time I unplug the pc from wall (or my house loses power) the bios loses all of it's settings (date and time stay). Afterwards, tried 3 different mbo batteries, resetting everything, flash with the original Asus bios, and the problem persists. Sometimes, it even won't boot up. Your modded bios is my last hope of retaining my board and cpu which I dearly love.

CPU: X5675 (usually oc'ed to 4,3) MBO: Asus P&T (vanilla), 24 GB ram...
