If you have updated the Marvell 91xx AHCI/RAID ROM module, set the Marvell Firmware mode to 'Force', then save/apply/reboot and let it load through to windows, before that happens Marvell Firmware will update and board will reboot. Once in the BIOS again recover the previous boot settings (boot device and HDD boot order). Then turn on, boot to BIOS, load optimized, set the SATA Controller to the appropriate mode (AHCI/RAID) and save/apply/reboot back to the BIOS. This is what you should see, if your system has an Intel ICH8R, ICH9R, ICH10R, 5-Series or 6-Series chipset and you want to update the related Intel RAID ROM version: Note: The 'For Option ROM only' section only shows the VendorID and DeviceID of the RAID ROM Modul, which has been inserted by the manufacturer of the original AMI UEFI mainboard BIOS file. Hit the 'Browse' button and navigate to the Option ROM module (named xxxx.BIN) you want to get inserted and double-click onto it. Go to the 'For Option ROM only' section, check the 'Link Present' option and scroll down to the correct VendorID (8086 = Intel) and DeviceID (Example: 2822 = 'Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller') of your on-board RAID Controller. Highlight the line containing the Option ROM module you want to replace (it is usually the line with the CSMCORE file). Open the BIOS file and hit the 'Replace' tab of the Aptio MMTool. This is the procedure regarding the replacement of an Option ROM module. As a consequence an extracted PCI ROM file usually can be inserted into each mainboard BIOS, which already contains the same sort of PCI ROM module. Each PCI ROM module version, which has been delivered from the Controller chip vendor to the mainboard manufacturers, is identical and not dependent on the BIOS structure (AMI/Phoenix/Award) the mainboard manufacturer is using. Although the BIOS files are developed and published by the mainboard manufacturer, the inserted PCI ROM modules were made by the vendor of the related on-board Controller chips. Nevertheless it is possible to extract any PCI ROM module and to replaced it by another version, because the entire mainboard BIOS file has a modular structure. The PCI ROM modules are within the mainboard BIOS file and only visible by opening the BIOS file with a special tool like MMTool or CBROM. That is the reason why users with an AHCI (non-RAID) system will not benefit from an update of the RAID ROM version. Not sure smthg (BIOS with microcodes) was modifiedThe Intel SATA AHCI Controller of the mainboard is not supported at all by the RAID ROM module. They were sold just to and for Microsoft AzureĮDIT: According to screenshots from China Supermicro X11DPU-Z+ seem also to work with these CPU's. For a reason I suppose.ĮDIT: Check out Asrock Rack EPC621D8A. But what do I know It will be a never ending story.Īll boards compatible with 8124's do not have 8124(m) in their list. Otherwise, you would need the boards used at Amazon with all the necessary 'hacks' around connecting PSU's, storage, and so on. I suppose they might have never got it working. Other ppl reporting to have these CPU's, never answered questions about how they got it working with boards compatible with the common 8124's. It's a feature stripped version just for Amazon. Its a nice CPU (18x3GHz with an 3.4 all core turbo) so I am not too keen on returning it (although seller offered), but I am also not too keen on trying a bunch of boards to see if I can get it to work on any of them.Ĭlick to expand.In my opinion, return it. Now I am at a loss what to do - seller says he tested it and its working fine, but I can't get it to go. I happen to have a X11DPI-NT (rated 205W) which didnt work, I also tried a X11SPH-nCTPF (205W) which also didnt work. He said they work on a X11DPI-N, a GA MD71-HB0 and an Asrock he can't remember. O/c there are no 240W TDP mainboards out there since the old Scalable CPUs were only rated up to 205W so I asked the seller which board he used to verify functionality. So I asked the seller and he mentioned that this is a 240W TDP CPU - at least that's what he found. Tried another CPU in the board - works fine. However - when pluggin the CPU in all I got was a red catastrophic error light with no details whatsoever what the cause might be - nothing on Asus page, no documentation, no comments to be found. So I bought an Asus Z11PA-U12 to run it in since that has 12 Dimm slots and its a 1.5T CPU after all, seemed like a good match I recently got a 8124m at Ebay and totally did not realize its not a regular CPU (apparently Amazon AWS by an earlier comment in another thread).
