Someone with an 2686v3 could confirm if the experience this issues?
- I have only 1/2 successful boots to windows, half of the time it freezes
- When it wakes up from sleep the PC freezes (i did not disable any power-state from bios, i remember reading some C State needs to go off , this might be it , alternatively i disabled Sleep/Turn off monitor in windows)
- Sometimes CPU overheats and goes to 90degrees celsius (normally on full load it does not exceed 55*C) and have to wait 1-2min to turn on PC again (its very rare it happends once 2weeks)
- Mosfet area extremely hot when using V3.efi (80*C or more / some speedfan reports on some AUXTIN1/2/3 over 100*C ,i put a cooler over the mosfets and seems to be cooler now , AUXTIN is not related to mosfet)
Mine is running very fine on Windows 10 also never loaded microcode with the VMware tool just did the bios mod and loading V3_1.EFI (don't know what is the difference between the normal an the 1 version) but it worked in Windows 10 and is very stable, only having problems with OS X but I think it is an OS X thing so I have to find out what is going wrong, it is always running @ 2GHz then it is stable but if it runs from 1,2 - 3Ghz it freezes after 4minutesSomeone with an 2686v3 could confirm if the experience this issues?
So it goes like this , i got an x99 TAICHI (bios 1.4 + v3.efi) and some problems persists:
- I have only 1/2 successful boots to windows, half of the time it freezes
- Sometimes CPU overheats and goes to 90degrees celsius (normally on full load it does not exceed 55*C) and have to wait 1-2min to turn on PC again (its very rare it happends once 2weeks)
- Mosfet area extremely hot when using V3.efi (80*C or more / some speedfan reports on some AUXTIN1/2/3 over 100*C ,i put a cooler over the mosfets and seems to be cooler now , AUXTIN is not related to mosfet)
- When it wakes up from sleep the PC freezes (i did not disable any power-state from bios, i remember reading some C State needs to go off , this might be it , alternatively i disabled Sleep/Turn off monitor in windows)
Tried:
OS: windows 7/10
Microcode 27,39 and latest microcode from windows (mcgenuine_intel.dll)
Event viewer does not report anything on crash, just sudden system stop.
I had this problems from the beginning of doing this, any ideas what can cause this?
Xeon 2686v3 3.6Ghz all 18 core Battlefield 1 bottleneck test and CPU tests:
I've used that method on PC with two CPU: BIOS modificaton + V3.EFI + win + microcode_27
Config: ASRock EP2C612 WS + 2xE5-2686v3.
And have got an interesting result: the first CPU is unlocked and the second one is not.
(That "asymmetrical" system works stable after C3/C6 states were disabled in BIOS.)
As I understand that's happened because V3.EFI has updated MSR registers only on the first CPU - where it was executed.
But how can I run necessary MSR update on both CPU ?
Do you mind to share your BIOS for EP2C612 WS? Thank you in advance.

This is "Firmware v2.13B" for ASRockRack EP2C612 WS.
(It isn't avaible from ASRockRack site yet. I've got that one from ASRock support service. Difference from 2.1 - ClusterOnDie supporting)
PS: "Unlocking" works on v2.1 too. I can share if anyone needs it. But I use 2.13B.
PPS: On my motherboard internal InstantFlash tool isn't work. It broke down after the first flashing v1.4 to v2.1 half year ago. So I flashed them by CH341A device.
No I'm on Win10x64. Microcode and "howto" I've taken here. Just look at post #39.Do you run Win7 x64? Where did you get the microcode 27?
Try this, I remove secure lock and update microcodeI've tried to mod asus bios with ubutool, after I got "Error in Replacing File" issues.
On early BIOS versions it doesn't throw error, but as a result I'm getting exact same file - HxD says files are identical. Can anyone take a look at Z10PE-D16 WS Bios please?
Will try it later this week..Try this, I remove secure lock and update microcode

Can you do that in a X99 SOC CHAMPION bios? I get the same "Error in Replacing File" error.Try this, I remove secure lock and update microcode

Did you rename file in EFI/BOOT into BOOTx64.efi ?I've put shellx64.efi in EFI/BOOT as well as in the root
ls -RDid you rename file in EFI/BOOT into BOOTx64.efi ?
Files on my flash drive (GPT table), that works:
│ autorun.inf
│ Shellx64.efi
│ V3.EFI
└───EFI
....│ Shellx64.efi
....└───BOOT
.........BOOTx64.efi
Shellx64.efi and BOOTx64.efi --- the same file with different names. .
