Asus Commando - ucodes
#1
Hi! If you can help me, it would be great! Sorry for extremely long post, but I wanted to describe my problem with details. (my main question is almost in the end of this post, sorry for this spam ) Smile (Something is telling me, this is a wrong forum-group , please move the post if is it.)

I have a problem with my Asus Commando BIOS. I have three Xeons

XEON E5140 - Conroe 2.33
XEON E5310 - Quad core 1.6 GHz
XEON E5205 - Wolfdale 1.86 GHz

After done L5/M5 mod, my xeons were able to POST on Commando, but there's an announcement, that if I want my processor to spread it's wings, I need to update my BIOS. It

means of course, that there's no uCodes or those not exist inside a BIOS memory.

I have read some threads on IT forums and I was able to put a microcode file in my bios... but there is a problem. I will explain this.



This is a original Asus Commando 1901 lastest BIOS opened in a MMTOOL V3.22 BKMOD:
[Image: clipboard01oeqdf.jpg]

(BTW. LINK to asus site, I used this file)

I removed these codes from original Commando bios:

(NO - CPU ID - Update Revision - Platform Type)

03 - 06F6-CB-01
04 - 06F7-68-10
05 - 06FB-B6-01
06 - 06FB-B6-10
22 - 0676-0C-01
23 - 0676-0C-10
25 - 067A-07-11


And added the same CPU ID microcodes, but with newer Update Revision (2010 yr.). This gave me nothing. I also noticed, that uCodes order does not have to be kept. So

there's a list of ADDED uCodes:


06F6-D0-01
06F7-6A-10
06FB-BA-01
06FB-BA-10
0676-0F-01
0676-0F-10
067A-0F-11

(BTW. Last three should be named eg. 1067A, as far as I know)


Still, after flash bios this all above gave me nothing. Bios were telling me, that I have to update uCodes.





OK, what I done next:
1. downloaded an ASUS Z7S WS BIOS.
2.Opened it using MMTOOL and I noticed another Platform Types (04/40).
3.I also checked in CPU options in Commando's BIOS a small window "cpu uCode", it was 0676 (for Wolfdale core XEON E5205)
4.I added a 0676-0F-04 uCode - BINGO! It is working.


(BTW. I made also a "40" platform type bios, and after flashing i can say - platform type "40" doesn't work with this processor. Only 04 is good.)



OK, Everything is fine, but if I want to add more 04 platform uCodes there's an ERROR: "Rom space isn't enough. It exceeded E0h Bytes".




So there's THE QUESTION:
What am I supposed to do?
a. to buy a bigger flash IC (16Mbit??) and then trying to make a BIOS file with all possible INTEL's uCodes, then flash this using weird commands in AFUDOS tool .....
b. maybe change some bios adress/move some data to get some free space, then add uCodes
c. to remove some P4 uCodes, and receive some free space this way
d. or maybe somebody can do this BIOS modifications for me?
e. or maybe is there a better/easier way to add those uCodes?



I want to say I'm overclocker and my Asus Commando is for me my dearHeart. I have lots of hi-end motherboards, but this-one is something more... Tongue (BTW If anyone would be interested in my achievements in overclocking, you can go on hwbot.org site and search my nick. I made lots of good scores using Asus Commando, one of the best 775

motherboards ever(blah blah...)) Big Grin




Please, help me Smile
