At this rate you should be getting much more subscribers. Well done sir 👍
I just did this mod about an hour ago with your instructions and downloads on my E5 2673-V3 / Jingsha X99-E8I setup and my CPU-Z multicore benchmark jumped from 4439.1 to 4829.2 and the single core jumped from 302.6 to 347.1 :) Thank you for the info!
Always watching your X99 videos even though I'm not using X99 platform.
Maybe I should get one soon 😅
You can always assemble an X99 computer with a Xeon E5 CPU and then sell it with zero or very little profit, just like a fun project to spend time with.
With a $100 2678v3 you definitely should consider ;)
@@Ko6pa Now that CPU goes for around 80 on ebay, it's great stuff lmao
@@farawaythrower is awesome for sure !
@@Miyconst Hey. Would you assist me? can you tell me how to do this procedure on my motherboard? I have e5 2680v3 and ASUS ROG STRIX X99 GAMING.
Hi Miyconst! Just wanted to let you know that I've had this work with 2 Machinist x99z v1.02 motherboards so far. Thank you for your hard work :)
A tip for anyone using this board, you need to find an older version of AFUWin. I could absolutely not get it to work at all and would fail at the first block using the newest (5.13). Using an older version (5.11), I got it to work perfectly on the first try.
What a brilliant and comprehensive guide. If this had been out last year I would have kept my X99 and not bought Ryzen. Subscribed.
You didn't miss much by switching to AMD Ryzen. Overall, AM4 is a much better platform.
@@Miyconst It is, but is far more expensive
I'm located Hong Kong, as the price on ram and parts etc, is much overpriced locally . i bought a x99-tf and e5-2678v3 from huananzi official store in china in early march 2021 for just 1450hkd (18x usd)and try it out with my 10 years old 1600 ddr3 rams, by following your instruction guide and playing in the save way, i dumped the rom and did the mod step by step, now running 3.3 all cores with -30 -20 mv. stable and cool performance proofed, very appreciate for your genius work and wish u a thriving future, thank you.
Thanks for the support, good luck to you as well!
I used the TechYes method on my E5 2678 V3 and my PC somehow reverted back to its slow clock speeds very quickly. You superior method seems to have permanently set the boost overclock, thank you!
Now you know whose guides to follow 🤣.
Your dedication is astonishing for many of us. Well done work!
Just one word.. THANKS!
Awesome guide! I was under the impression that this mod locked the processor at its max clock speed 100% of the time but since it doesn't, I'll probably end up doing this to the editing rig I'm building.
Thank you so much. Used this and the guide from tech yes city to do this with afudos on x99z v102. E5 2678 v3 full turbo with -70mv cpu -50mv ram working well. I will be trying on asrock fatality x99m killer 3.1 and will comment if it works.
Fantastic! Rarely do I leave comments, but I need to say your tutorials stand out above and beyond anything I've viewed . They are clear, concise and yet extremely thorough.. And, in part due to your support, I have purchased the brand new dual cpu x99 Huananzhi motherboard which I intend to turbo unlock two e5-2678 v3 cpu's - wish me luck. Afterwards, I hope to follow the tutorial on The Passthrough Post to bring up macos Catalina on a Linux KVM-QEMU with direct pass-through to the GPU and a USB hub. Thanks again and please KEEP POSTING!
Thank you for the support, Mark! As far as I know, there is only one (so far) dual socket LGA 2011-3 motherboard from Huananzhi, and this motherboard supports DDR3 memory only, thus, make sure to buy correct memory modules, and good luck with your build!
Thank you for your tutorial!
Can I ask a dumb question?
Does this work with a MSI X99S Krait Edition and a Xeon E2660 V3?
Thank you very much! :)
It shall work, I have tested two MSI motherboards: MSI X99A SLI Plus & MSI X99A Raider, works with both.
@@Miyconst thank you very much, mine is Sli edition too.
@@kakkoishonen How the board working for you, any issues? I’m kinda stuck on the same boat.
Just love your videos(all the way from South Africa), so much insight on the X99 platform...
This is absolutely amazing. Do I have to do this on a newly installed Windows or I can do it on my current build with the old Turbo Unlock mod?
You can do it on your currently installed Windows. I have validated with Windows 10 (previously Turbo Unlocked) and Ubuntu 18.04, also not a fresh installation.
Miyconst that sounds perfect. Thank you very much! 🙏
@@Miyconst Hello. China mb x99 up bclk in bios or windows?
@@eternal89 Chinese X99 motherboards do not have any options to control BCLK.
Thank You. Worked very well for me. I have e5 2678 V3 which is boosting now to 3.2GHz when before it was maxing out at 2.9GHz.
amazing. can make a guide for Asus C612 dual CPU
It only bloody worked! Thank you for the details and clear instructions.
Thanks for your video, I already completed the unlock to my Xeon E5 2620 v3, from 2,4GHz to 3,2GHz, It was very easy following your guide, thanks again!!!
I'm with same e5 2620 v3 , x99 tf .
Doesn't works for me.
Error 103 on first cmd line : dump.bat
Did it in 10 minutes, worked perfectly for my X99 QD4. Thanks a lot!
Which undervolt -X/-Y do you use? Thanks
Hello, what do U do in step 4 inject required FFS driver?
I have x99 QD4, but can not found anything XE driver in BIOS region
What an excelent video Miyconst, just did it without any problem. E5 2620 V3 now at 3.2 ghz!!! Thnx my friend and keep up with the good work!!! Greetings from Colombia!
Thanks for making this I have a Bundle coming in soon and this is extremely helpful.
Thank you for this great video. I just need to clarify if the overclocking you are doing here is only for engineering sample or for all e5 2600 V3?
It is only NOT for engineering samples. It works with all retail (final) Xeon E5-2600 V3 & E5-4600 V3.
Worked perfectly with Huananzhi X99-F8 and E5-2640 V3. Outperforms i7-5960X in single and multi thread. Thank you
Wooh! I'm also getting a e5-2640 v3 soon.
Oops, I posted a question with my work ID yesterday. Thanks for the answer.
I changed the BIOS to the -20 mV and all my tests were faster, so that was worth the time. I was also able to overclock the RAM to 2000 from 1800. It's cheap 1333 DDR3 so that was another boost. I didn't notice any temperature increase even when rendering a file for 38 minutes. This PC is much faster than the Ryzen 5 1600AF I had been using.
YOOO! IT WORKED! Thanks, Surprisingly simple and you explained it very thoroughly. 👍
I am glad to hear that!
Very nice, it works flawlessly! You really deserve more subs mate. Keep the good work!
Thank you so much this! Thank you so much for all your care to brings us this amazing content! You are a super hero!!!!!
Hello Miyconst. Your reviews and videos are REALLY AWESOME! Thanks ! Great video.
Hi, great video as always :) I was wondering if that can be done with a dual motherboard like the X99-F8D ? Does it requires specific instructions additional to the video ? Thanks!
Hi Tod. For dual socket motherboards you need to follow a slightly different guide. Search online for S3TurboTool tool, so far it's the only working for dual socket motherboards I know.
Excellent video.
Helped me on my new
HZ x99TF motherboard.
I have used the ffs file standard voltage on my bios.
I’m using ddr3 desktop memory at 1.5v.
I have two 2gb 1333 Kingston HyperX sticks and
two 8gb 1866 Kingston HyperX for the total of 20gb running at 1333 ghz,
on E5 2678 v3 cpu.
Thank you very much.
Keep on the good work.
I’m not sure if that’s the place for this comment:
I’m using an RTX 2070 on this motherboard.
The performance is excellent,
But although it is recognized as pcie 3 (8gb)
In Windows it is configured as
pcie (2.5gb).
I tested it in both of the x16 slots and in both of them it is the same.
You've just made my day!
Recently I have purchase x99 xeon combo with 16gb ram...
for only $54 (too good to be true)..
Keep up the good work!
The tool with the BIOS worked perfect on Jingsha X99M-H, outperforms Ryzen 3700X in multi
with E5-2678 V3
Great video, indeed, and you're doing an excellent job as usual.
My question, do you think I should try it on a dual CPU mobo, ASUS Z10PE-D16 WS? Or it may brick the mobo?
I hope you will find a time to answer this, thank you.
You can definitely try, but so far, all reports I am getting from my subscribers, is that injecting FFS driver does not properly work with dual socket motherboards, manual EFI driver installation works well.
@@Miyconst Ok, thank you very much. When I'll find the time, I will try it and then let you know about the result.
I have the same motherboard, I would be interested if you got it working one way or another. thanks!
@@xcimo1 Didn't find the time (and courage) to do it... yet.
Thank you for this guide, worked perfectly!
finally! thank you man, great video :)
:)
Thank you for your awesome tutorial.
2620v3 on huananzhi x99-TF is now my main pc until 2678v3 arrives.
the performance gain is superb. In forza horizon 4 1080p ultra, matches with my r5 1600 @3.95ghz using vega56 @64.
edit: Gloway ddr4 Type β works on E5 2600v3 tested with nanya chips, dunno if micron chips works too.
Sadly, powev does not work on x99-tf so no rgb fun with those memories.
Great video as always Miyconst!
Hello Miyconst !
I discovered your great channel a few weeks ago, since I just bought a cheap Z440 with 2620v3 that i would like to unlock like you show in your videos.
Did you attempt to bios flash these boards ? I've seen a ukrainian forum where the tread is about these workstations mods but I didn't understand how tey got the bios dump and reflash ...
Cheers from France
I have also seen some reports that people manage to Turbo Boost Unlock Z440 workstations from HP, but it's not trivial and you need a CH3410A or a similar programmer to read / write the BIOS.
Hi mMiyconst, this worked well on my xeon 2620 v3 atermiter motherboard. its a very easy and straightforward guid, thanks alot.
Hey just wanted to say thank you. I used a E5 2660 V3 with a gigabyte GA-X99 Gaming G1 wifi and it worked for me as well.
Which drivers did yiu inject? I have the SOC Champion version of the board?
Damn! Can't flash modified bios. Invalid image.
@@bambamkey1 i just followed the video verbatim
Keep up the hard work, my dude.
You are awesome!
I did it with my x99 D8 and it works!
Thanks you!
I am glad to hear that. Which CPU do you use?
@@Miyconst E5-2640v3 and I used your X99-F8 BIOS.
@@SunCat81 Thank you for the info. It's always nice to get a feedback that the guide actually works for others.
did you download the bios from the video or make yourself?
Hi Miyconst. where do I download these pre-modified bios files from. I have a Machinist x99, as well as Huananzhi F8. appreciate all your work. Keep going.
Everything has moved to my Mi899 application, the BIOS options can be downloaded from GitHub.
I followed this tutorial and unlocked my 2620 v3 on a Atermiter zx-99ev3_1.31v. Turbo boost unlock transform a kitten into a tiger. It's impressive the amount of performance you can get from inexpensive processors.
This video is pure gold! Thank you a lot, i've unlock the 2670 and 2696. You are the best
2696v3 The 3.8mhz?
@@petersongomes6127 yes 3.8ghz
Hi, thanks so much for all you do sharing your work like this. I'm working on a Machinist x99 w/ locked bios, FPT failed to backup existing bios. You mentioned using afuwin to flash the bios; will afuwin flash your Machinist x99 -20mv lazy .rom file? If afuwin is not successful I would need to do method 2 on your website using USB correct?
If you are using the Machinist X99Z, then you can use AFUWin to flash the BIOS.
Do I have to re-do this method if I perform a reformat on my SSD/Hard Drive? Or is it permanently done in my bios unless I revert it back to normal bios? Thanks man! I'm a big fan!
Built my X99 build with a e5 2640v3 and used the turbo boost unlock and I have to say I’m very impressed with how it’s performing, although I had to install fans into my case to keep up with the heat lol, this build wouldn’t have been possible without your indirect help, thank you so much, one question though, let’s say I upgrade to a 2678v3 or another CPU, Will the turbo unlock still work with those chips or do I have to do everything over again??
Thank Anthony. If you have unlocked turbo boost with a permanent BIOS mod, it will stay until you flash another BIOS. If you used a system level EFI driver it gets lost with each BIOS reset.
I managed to bypass the protection on my motherboard hp z640, I can delete it and make a backup, but I can't change it so that it doesn't work
X99-TF + E5-2676v3 = -70mV-50mV working fine (above that windows BSODs). Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you for the info, it helps me with collecting some statistics.
Thanks for a good guide, really easy to follow! I want to try this on my E5-2673 V3, which undervolt file do you recommend? MB: JINGSHA X99-D3
I would go with -70/50, 99% of E5-2678 V3 can hold such voltage reduction.
@@Miyconst Thanks, I will give it a try and come back to you with my result :)
@@Miyconst It worked good! doing 3.10 Ghz on all cores :) Gonna test if its stable, but i sure it is
I just did -50 -50 for 2678v3 and it works.
If you have common problem with blinking mouse/keyboard 4 times and long booting time to windows, it means that you forgot or didn't want to restore default bios settings.
Remove battery should work too.
Just sacrifice yourself, make a photo of your RAM OC and do it again. Don't be lazy CI/CD guy like me :D
Good point!
Hey Myconst, first of all thanks for the Guide and all the work you put into testing this for different boards and systems. I have a question about this method doe. Do you think it is safe to flash the bios, while the driver from the old method is still installed?
Yes, it is safe. Once you restore BIOS default settings, the previously installed EFI driver won't be loaded any more.
@@Miyconst Neat! Thanks for the quick answer.
@@Miyconst Just flashed the bios successfully, I am getting 3.18GHz all cores on a 2678 v3. Would you consider this numbers as in range of silicon lottery? Usually it should boost to 3.3 right?
@@h4X0r99221 It depends on how good your CPU is, how many and which memory you use. You can try to reduce the CPU voltage further and see if that helps to reach the 3.3 GHz limit, but many E5-2678 V3 stop at 3.2 GHz with full load.
@@Miyconst Oh okay, good to know. I am using quad channel DDR4 2400MHz 8GB sticks and and running the non undervolted ffs, because I can't afford system crashes. I guess if it was only for gaming, I would push it with the 20mV undervolt. :)
I've been watching your videos as I've decided to use a dual X99 motherboard as my next pc build. I've been looking at the Kllisre X99 dual CPU board but don't think you've reviewed that one yet, do you think it would be ok? I'm looking to run dual E5-2660 V3's. Very nice channel by the way, best I've seen in a long time.
I have already ordered this motherboard, but unfortunately, the package has stuck somewhere. There is another review of this motherboard, in Russian, main things: it has only two memory channels per CPU, Turbo Boost Unlock with injected FFS driver into the BIOS does not work, all the other functions seem to work well. In any case, before I test the motherboard myself, I can't recommend or not recommend it.
@@Miyconst Ok thank you, to be on the safe side I will buy the CPUs and other parts first. I can spend the extra and buy the JINGSHA board if I have to :). My current machines are a Dell T5500 and T7500, I've been fan of dual cpus ever since I built a dual Celeron 300A slot one at 450mhz in 1998?. I'll keep watching.
Any follow up? I’m also looking if I’ll be able to implement this Turbo Boost Unlock on my Jingyue X99 mobo with dual E5-2666 V3.
Thanks
Thank you for all your help so far! After a lot of testing and fiddling, I have come to the conclusion that my board is faulty. The BIOS that the motherboard came with states that Turbo Boost on All Cores is enabled. When running the stress test on CPU-Z I can see 100% utilization across all cores at the max turbo speed. However after about 10 seconds, the clock speed begins to decrease. My initial thought was thermal throttling. However everything is in open air on my test bench and the hetsinks on the VRM and CPU are cool to touch. Due to this I started fiddling with the BIOS using your Turbo Hack video. This landed up with the board POSTing everytime but not booting into windows each time. I tried various permutations of the BIOS modifications and someone's it would boot into windows and other times it wouldn't. I eventually bit the bullet and used your modded x99f8 bios. After the Flash, it booted up a lot quicker than the original bios but the Clock speed decrease was exactly the same as with the original bios. I then rebooted the machine and it did the same thing as only sometimes booting into Windows but POSTing everytime. After many reboots and waiting, I got back into Windows and flashed the backed up original bios back to be at square one. Very strange issue. I bought two of these boards for my two servers, so I am yet to test the second one before getting in touch with the seller regarding a return/refund/dispute etc. However regarding the clock speed decrease after a few seconds, they say that its normal and expected. From watching other videos on UA-cam, the Turbo Boost Clock speed stays consistent and dones't drop. If it really is thermal throttling after a few seconds, well eish... Thats a real bummer. I mean I was already planning on upgrading the VRM heatsinks before installing them into my 24/7 servers, but I had thought that the stock VRM coolers in open air on my test bench would've been fine.
Hi there. I don't think your motherboards are defective. The things you are describing are known and expected. Regarding the booting issue, it's a UEFI bug, once you clear CMOS (or reflash BIOS) it doesn't properly detect the boot partition. There are a few potential fixes: 1. Install Windows in the Legacy mode and forget about this struggle. 2. Reinstall Windows in UEFI mode after you are done with BIOS modding. 3. Disconnect all storage devices from your system. Clear CMOS. Boot into BIOS. Restore defaults. Save changes. Reboot. Set desired BIOS settings. Save & reboot. Power off. Connect storage devices. It should work now.
For the unstable CPU clock you need to understand how it works. Turbo Boost Unlock exploit forces all CPU cores to boost to the maximum turbo frequency UNTIL the TDP limit is reached. Once the TDP limit is reached, the CPU drops frequency to stay within the TDP limit. It is just how these CPUs work, and fixing the temps won't change anything. You have to reduce CPU voltage, so called undervolting, which means that the CPU consumes less power at the same frequency, and the consequences of this is that CPU can maintain higher clocks at the same TDP limit.
@@Miyconst Thank you so much. I now understand why the undervolting is involved for the bios mod.
@@Miyconst This explains why sometimes it would boot when I had a Flash stick isntalled. Couldn't understand this phenomeon! Thanks again!
@@Miyconst To be perfectly honest, all of these Ali sellers should pay you a royalty fee for every motherboard sold due to the amount of information and help you provide. Thanks a million! If I could like your videos and subscibe a million times, I would. Top notch!
Great as always. Hope you're well these days.
Thanks Adam. I try to spend this lockdown to produce some more videos, but working remotely does not really give much extra free time.
@@Miyconst I wonder if those 0 or 1 stepped (or V4s for that matter) CPUs can be pushed to max turbo on compatible boards, I know that many ASRock MotherBoards, have such feature (as my X99 Taichi, where you don't have to flash BIOS to force max turbo).
@@Adam130694 I know that this hacked EFI / FFS drivers do not work with ES/QS chips, since those chips have different Turbo Boost algorithm, still, it might be possible to force max turbo frequency using the AsRock motherboards.
@Miyconst Thanks for the great video! For Linux desktop what steps are applicable after bios mod and update? do we have a similar EFI driver for Linux?
You don't need any EFI drivers if an FFS driver was injected into BIOS itself.
@@MiyconstThank You! It worked! What is the purpose of the other FFS files - I used the zero version, what is the purpose of 10,10 / 20,20 etc
@@prvs2004 these numbers are voltage reduction in MV on CPU and IMC, so called undervolting.
@@Miyconst Thanks! Do we apply them one at a time or can a few of them be applied in one go? Also, would this show up as a profile in bios?
@@prvs2004 you apply one at a time and it won't show up in the BIOS, but if you apply too much undervolting your system will be unstable and you may not even be able to boot into Windows.
Hey! Thank you a ton for this video you are helping a lot! I have X99-F8D with 2x 2696v3 xeons, should i follow this guy for unlocking the turbo boost or it's different when having 2 CPUs?
This method does not work with dual CPU configuration, but you can use S3TurboTool method, it works.
@@Miyconst thank you for your fast reply! Do you have video for this method or I should look further into your site?
I cannot post links in the comments, but you can find S3TurboTool guides online, I don't have a video for it, yet.
@@Miyconst Thank you very much i found the guide and followed it closely, but when i try to flash the bios i get "The host CPU does not have write access to the target flash area" error, do i have to unlock something in security settings in BIOS before i try to flash the .bin file? I will be very thankful, if you can help as most of the information out there is on russian and I am having troubles with understanding it with translator.
@@aftershock7258 it seems like your BIOS chip is locked for writing, you need to either use AfuWin or an external flash programmer.
Hello, thanks for the guide, it's incredible :D I juste have a question, if i would change my e5 2620 v3 for i7 5820k, i need remove turbo unlock ? How can i disable it, reset bios settings is enough or i need to reinstall windows too or something else ? Thanks you more, i really love ur works and your channel ! Have a nice day :D
For i7-5820k you have to flash the original BIOS with no modifications.

@@Miyconst hello....can u explain about undervolt ffs driver....im not understand
@@shukriideris5547 Xeon E5 V3 CPUs have a TDP limitation, once this limit is reached CPU drops its clock frequency, with lower voltage CPU consumes less power, means it can maintain higher clocks.
@@Miyconst ooooo thank you for the info...nice job and thank you
Perfect. Just the answer I was looking for. Since I'll be booting UNRAID as a base operating system, I needed something like this. It seems like the UEFI Windows method is infinitely more complex than this. I wonder why it seems to be preferable? This method to me, just makes sense.
Can we modify the iEngineer BIOS'es like the OEM ones? It seems like they took the stock BIOS and cleaned it up a lot, but I can't see any documentation exploring if they enabled the ability for All-Core Unlock like this, out of the box. Are you planning on doing a video of aftermarket BIOS'es for these boards in the future? I think that kind of exploration would make for good content on your channel. Thank you again, as always for these uploads. Please keep making content!
You can modify iEngineer BIOS the same way as any other BIOS. I am staying in touch with iEngineer and he told me that his BIOS was developed from scratch and not based on the Chinese version. Also, his BIOS is deeply integrated with the hardware used on the motherboard, which gives better functionality, but brings issues when Chinese use similar, but not the same components. If you plan to try his BIOS - make sure to have a CH341A lying around.
@@Miyconst oh wow, I didn't expect a reply! I've never used one of those in the 20+ years I've been into PC's. How difficult are they to use? Do you think it might be worth the extra effort to do all that vs modifying the Chinese BIOS? for my needs I'm not so certain, since I think I might only need the All-Core Turbo unlock. Stability will be super important, as it's my NAS first and my gaming rig second.
It's not difficult at all, but I would still not bother about it. Here you will find basic usage guide for CH341A: www.miyconst.com/Blog/View/2086/ch341a-minimal-usage-guide-how-to-read-and-write-a-motherboard-bios
Thank you for this guide, I've just done it and it worked perfectly. 👍
Huananzhi x99 F8 + Xeon e5 2666 v3 with 20/20 undervolt.
Hey Miyconst, I may have a stupid question for you, but beyond checking the frequency like you did at 8:20 is there any other way of looking? I recently got the Killsre x99 D4 with the e5 2620 v3.. All the cores went to the max frequency of 3.20ghz, right out of the box, when I benchmarked with CPU-Z. Could Killsre have updated the Bios since your review of that board? I only got the set up about 4 days ago
Yes. It seems like the latest Kllisre X99 D4 boards come with Turbo Boost unlock out of the box. A few other of my subscribers reported the same story. If you want to validate it, then create a BIOS backup and check that the 06F2 CPU microcode is missing.
@@Miyconstthanks for the feedback... interesting, nice to see killsre putting in the extra effort.
You are the best. Shame you havent more viewers
Great explanation as always👍
thanks... you are the master, this is my first experience to do unlock my Intel Xeon 2620 V3. And i have a question, this unlocked can be use for another procesor.... i mean. the same board but different procesor??obviously Xeon 26XX V3 ? thanks
Yes. This method persists in BIOS even if you change your CPU, just make sure that the new CPU is compatible with the turbo boost unlock.
@@Miyconst i found ram ddr3 1866 is very cheaper than ddr4 2113. But I dont know whether xeon 2620v3 compatible with ram ecc ddr3 1866 on mainboard support ram ddr3 or not? Please advise me..
@@noobrobert9423 E5-2620 V3 does not support DDR3 memory, you need DDR4 for this CPU.
Awesome work! whats the undervoltage going to give me? less power draw for similar performance?
CPU Power Consumption limit is not removed with Turbo Boost unlock, thus, if CPU consumes more power than "allowed" it reduces its clock frequency to consume less power. Reducing CPU voltage also reduces CPU power consumption, which lets CPU stay at a higher clock frequency for longer.
@@Miyconst thanks bro for your work!
@@Miyconst can I undervolt more the cpu? With the x99 bios undervolted file?
Thanks for another great video. ASRock X99 Extreme4 & Xeon E5-2697 v3 2.6GHz works like a charm with this mod and slight overclock by BCLK at 3.8GHz. Just as with previous method, for BIOS reading and flashing, use AFUDOS - FPT doesn't work with this motherboard.
Though, with undervolting, behaviour of this CPU is quite weird.
Without UV it work as intended with max multiplier (x36). Tried -20mV, -40mV or -60mV, and CPU on such setting reaches only x34 multiplier max, x35 or x36 is never seen even when using single-threaded application. Not big deal, but I would suggest to look into HWINFO or HWMonitor if CPU actually reaches desired frequency 😄
How did you undervolt? Using BIOS settings or a different FFS driver? Undervolting on branded motherboards might lead to uncertain consequences, such as yours.
@@Miyconst FFS driver, as in BIOS there is no such option with this CPU (it was available, when I previously had i7-6800K, but with Xeon it disappears, same with RAM multiplier).
I'll try to investigate why is this happening, because UV definitely works (lower Core Voltage from CPU-Z, lower temperatures), but issues with highest multiplier makes it not that profitable. Any ideas might be helpful ☺️
@@Pentium320. I could suggest to try another Turbo-Boost Unlocking method - the S3TurboTool. It injects the driver into another BIOS region and it may not affect the clock multiplier the same way, but without a motherboard on hand it's very hard to guess what's going wrong in there.
@Miyconst I've actually resolved the problem. Hard to say why was it an issue, but simple restoring UEFI defaults after flashing modded BIOS solved the problem - no idea why I haven't tried this before. Flashed BIOS with -60mV, and it was doing good with stress tests from Prime95 or OCCT, but after 2 days Windows randomly crashed with 0x124 BSOD, which as I think is CPU instability. -50mV works as intended, at least I hope so 😄
Funny thing is, that undervolting in my case didn't really help with temperatures, though CPU itself gained some performance (4807pts vs 5198pts in Cinebench R20) despite it's not overheating. Maybe another power limit or something, hard to say. Anyway, still, profit 😄
@@Pentium320. I have an E5- 2696 V3 and Asrock X99 Taichi Motherboard do you think I can do this on my build? I am new to this.
I found out how you can get even more performance out of your CPU. It is possible to increase the TDP by 20% indefinitely. In your case, that would be 144W instead of 120W.
The following steps are necessary to do this:
1. Open your actual UEFI-file of your MSI mainboard with the AMIBCP 5 tool.
2. Go to: Common RefCode Configuration / Setup / Overclocking.
3. Search for "DigitALL Power", and change Access/Use from default to USER.
4. Save this file to an USB-stick.
5. Reset the PC, go to UEFI and flash this file.
6. Go to the UEFI.
7. Change the Overclocking / DigitAll Power / CPU Over Current Protection setting from Auto to 120%.
Done, the "Turbo power short duration" is held indefinitely, not just 32 seconds.
Thank you for the great finding. This applies to MSI X99A SLI Plus motherboard or which one did you test with?
Cool, very cool man! thanks a lot for that!
Hi Man... Great Video as always. Sorry about my stupidity... what is -20mv voltage? It's a tunning configuration? Thansk again.
It's a negative offset to the default CPU voltage. So, if CPU was originally working at 1000mv voltage at certain load, with such offset it will be 980mv. Reducing CPU voltage reduces CPU power consumption, which lets CPU stay at the highest Turbo Frequency for longer. All Xeon E5-2600 V3 CPUs reduce their frequency when CPU starts to consume more electricity than its TDP limit, even with Turbo Boost unlock.
@@Miyconst thank You for taking time to respond.
@@Miyconst Hello! But do you recommend to use this negative offset or not? What are the pros and cons? If I have a very good power supply like a Seasonic 1300W Platinum and a custom watercooler, do you think it is better to use it or not? Thanks!
@@jkaysteppenwolf Hi. The negative voltage offset purpose is to reduce CPU power consumption. Each Xeon E5-2600 CPU has built in power consumption limit. Once the limit is hit, CPU starts to reduce its clock speed. That is why reducing CPU voltage help to maintain higher clock frequency for longer times.
Great video! Just a question... I have a huananzhi f8d with dual xeon so... should I select the V3_payne_0_0 or the V3x2_payne_0_0? Thank you so much!
You should select the V3x2 driver, but as far as I know, this method does not work for dual socket motherboards.
@@Miyconst Thank you for your fast answer? So what method should I follow to make it work?
@@ikermaturana2238 you have to manually install the EFI driver or you can try this method, which claims to work on dual socket boards: xeon-e5450.ru/socket-2011-3/e5-2600-v3/dobavlyaem-anlok-v-bios-raz-i-navsegda-cherez-s3turbotool/
@@Miyconst ok! I´ll tray the EFI driver method. Thank you again!
Hi Miyaconst. You have lots of good videos about this topic that's hard to find anywhere else.
Is it possible to unlock V4 Xeons?
No, it's not possible to unlock V4 CPUs.
@@Miyconst Thanks for your reply. I just built an e5-2690v4 + two RTX3070Ti's
to create 2 VM with GPU passthrough to play games.
Having hard time with poorly optimized games like Elden Ring, Jedi Fallen Order, Spider-Man remaster.
But otherwise other games work perfectly.
Thanks again for you vids!
works great with my x99 Fatal1ty and 2699v3 at -90mV -50mV
Miyconst first, thank you for all your guides. I was wondering where to find the file on this guide. Your new tool doesn't work since i have MSI board. Hopefully you will have a working link again.
Hi there and thank you for the support. I have migrated the original article to my new blog place and updated the video description, please follow the new link. I can't just paste the link here, because UA-cam will delete the comment.
@@Miyconst thank you for updating your description. You're amazing on your presentation of your topics. They are straight to the point and yet i feel they have the most information. I am truly sad that you haven't gotten viral as you deserve and yet popular are streamers are just teeing off your guides. You're the third site that i watched for using Tesla cards 'but yours is the one i feel was easiest to follow and return to. You answer the most important questions when shopping for an x99 board. You know your audience very well. Everything is so organized. Thank you. You spend a lot of time so that people around the world can save time (and money). Total respect for you Sir!
@@frithfly1 thank you very much for the support, it really means a lot to me.
Did you received your Jingsha x99 D8? This works with x99 D8 of Jingsha?
(i gave up buying plex hd after i saw your video about it, so i decided to buy the jingsha D8)
Yes, I have got my JingSha X99 D8, it is exactly the same board as Kllisre X99 D8, the same as Kllisre, JingSha variant works well and supports Turbo Boost Unlock.
@@Miyconst nice i have got with 4xddr4 8gb and e5-2620 v3, because i only use for games.
Sorry for my english, i m learning
@@itagon6378 Your English is okay, no worries.
Yo mate, what about the v3_payne_40_40? Ive saw someone using that one instead the default payne_0_0.
Its risky the 40/40? Increases the heat of the cpu?
Sorry for this newbie question! You'r amazing!
The 40_40 numbers in the file name mean voltage reduction in millivolts. Thus, 0_0 = stock voltages, 40_40 = 40 millivolts reduction in CPU voltages and 40 millivolts reduction in CPU Memory controller voltages. Most of the Xeon E5 CPUs can handle at least 50 millivolts reduction, but to be on the safe side, it's recommended to start with 0_0, and then slowly reduce the voltage, if you want to reduce CPU power consumption.
@@Miyconst Safe side always! Thanks for the answer!
You should have more subscribers.

Thanks man. My channel is still very young, hopefully, if I continue producing quality content there will be more views and subscribers.
@@Miyconst Indeed really like your channel and you bring to the world a lot of Russian cool tricks to the English speaking world. Because of you, I subscribed to some other Russian UA-camrs too. You guys have some cool stuff with the Chinese made products.
Thanks for this video and the way to turboboost for Linux users ! Only thing I need to install Windows to get the bios files and do the MOD..
As usual, a complete and detailed video with all needed resource link ! Perfect work !!! Thank you. Ready to use Bios files are on the web site, into the presentation slide. Too bad for me no D8 bios... 8^)
I am using Huananzhi X99-F8 BIOS with my Kllisre X99 D8. There is no compatibility issues, but the Huananzhi BIOS has memory timings section. That's why I didn't prepare unlocked BIOS for Kllisre X99 D8. Regarding Windows installation - you can always use a virtual machine, it's very easy.
@@Miyconst Just great, still awaiting my D8....
@@Miyconst Great Miyconst!! Thank you for the tip of VM! That is what I was looking for :D ! Awesome
Which x99 Chinese motherboard do you suggest for a basic turbo boost unlock? I'm planning a xeon build and I want to unlock all the power I can :)
Depends on your budget and needs. Huananzhi X99-TF if you need DDR3 support otherwise Huananzhi X99-F8 / Kllisre X99 D8. If you are looking for an mATX motherboard - then pick Huananzhi X99-8M, greed one supports DDR4, orange one supports DDR3.
@@Miyconst thanks :)
You're the only reliable source for this kind of mobos so it felt natural to ask you this question, keep it up with the videos because they're top notch
Worked perfectly on Machinist X99Z v102
Thanks to your videos I was able to build a nice gaming computer for my friend for a very good price
It had to be flashed with an external programmer with the ATX 24-pin plugged in but otherwise everything was perfectly fine
Thanks for great videos!
Hello, realy nice channel. do you think this method can work on a dual x99 ? like the Huananzhi F8D ?
Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
Thank you, it worked like a charm
You are welcome!
Your the best! Thank you again
Do you know if it works also with the Xeon "Intel Confidential" versions?
Please watch the video. You need a V3 CPU with stepping 2 according to CPU-Z. If you engineering sample has stepping 2, you can apply this hack, otherwise no.
@Miyconst 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
thank you, i do sucessfuly. My mainboard is atermiter X99 D3, and cpu e5 2678v3

Guide for all operating systems *immediately shows every single step in windows only* GG
Feel free to blame American Megatredns and Microsoft for not providing tools to work with the BIOS under Linux.
@@Miyconst Yea, I get it but that just really sucks. I saw the title of the video and the little Tux you stuck in the corner of your thumb nail and got really pumped only to have the wind taken right out of my sails. I plan to give it a try, but will have to dig through storage this weekend (the shed, not disk storage) and track down a copy of Windows.
Hopefully this guide will work with my mobo model. Do you happen to keep a list of tested/reported compatible motherboards?
@@littleleelee2706 you can obtain a copy of Windows for free from the official Microsoft website, all you need is an empty media drive to create a Windows installer. I don't specifically keep track of compatible motherboards, because so far I have not met a single one, which would not work. BIOS modding method might be different, but turbo boost unlock works.
@@Miyconst I've had a chance to install windows on another drive and run through your steps. All cores are boosting to 3.5ghz on my 2690 v3 like they should. I can confirm this is working on the Huananzhi x99-bd4 under Pop!_OS. The only thing I wish I had more info on is what the numbers mean on the different Payne drivers. I got anecdotally from your video that it has to do with undervolting but have no idea what the numbers being in pairs means. I picked 20_20 but is that +/- 20 or -20 vcore and -20 somewhere else like vtt or vio... I just don't have any information here.
@@littleleelee2706 these numbers are voltage reduction in mv for Core & IMC (cache). Basically lower voltage lets CPU hold higher frequency at the same TDP, but also stresses VRM more.
This is amazing and easy to use. thanks alot
Raising the BCLK makes sense if the TDP limit is not reached, like in games or general computing.
So, can I just flash this Huananzhi F8 unlocked bios stright onto my Kllisre D8? I don't have the USB programmer and if I cannot change the bios after flashing the first time, I fear to brick my motherboard. Congratulations on the awesome content!
If you fear to brick your motherboard - you shall not by from AliExpress 😃. Most likely the X99-F8 BIOS provided by me is going to work on your Kllisre X99 D8, but I can't guarantee that, so the risk is yours.
@@Miyconst About that, you could post a video detailing how to program the motherboard bios in order to unbrick it and also where to buy this USB programmer. Thanks for the reply 😉
