v3x4's Issues

please release compiled build of final commit.

thank you very much!!! you're an absolute legend!!!

Turbo freq downgrade

Hi! After applying v3x4-0.10b-i306f2-rc9.efi on xeon e5 2695 v3 (qs) its turbo frequencies has been limited to 3100. Before applying it runned with 3500 mhz. Is it possible to manually set old multiplier 35x in efi or restore default (manufacturer) multiplier?

Did the Broadwell-E/EP build work?

Hi. I am curious to know if the experimental RC9 release worked to unlock turbo frequency on all cores with Xeon E5 V4 CPUs.

Compile for OS X?

I have a Mac Pro 3,1 with dual quad core Xeons. Is there a way to compile this for Mac?

FFS. Not work with dual cpus motherboards

Tested on Asus Z10pa-d8, efi driver work correctly and FFS driver not worked, if patch cpu with 1 cpu as FFS, unlock work with one CPU

Missing include file: 'Library/PrePiLib.h'

My UDK2015 build environment on Windows with VS 2015 is working properly. When compiling v3x4.c I get the following error:

c:\mywork\edk2\MdeModulePkg\v3x4\v3x4.c(4): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'Library/PrePiLib.h': No such file or directory

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why can this trick apply to Ivy Bridge/Sandy Bridge?

Why can this trick apply to Ivy Bridge/Sandy Bridge? Do we need an early version of intel microcode ??

[Improvement] Ability to break TDP readings like Randir's VCC efis

Hi there. Since not every motherboard supports ignoring TDP limit, whatever efi drivers released (including v3x4 here) do not perform as good as Randir's. If v3x4 supports breaking TDP reading, that would be very great.

Help with compiling

All of the instructions seem wrong...

1. The dependency on Cygwin was not noted and I cannot find anything that actually depends on Windows 2003 DDK 3790.1830
2. The instructions say to "install" UDK2015 but I can't find anything to install; does it just need to be downloaded?
3. All of the file paths in the instructions are wrong; for example the edksetup.bat file is not in the basetools directory
4. Even if I move files around and edit batch scripts the build still fails
5. The build command is ignoring the content of target.txt

Can I trouble you to provide a LOT more detail so that I can build this on my own?

❓ Is it possible to compile v3x4 driver into PEI?

The current implementation is available in two forms:

• EFI driver, it can be installed on the OS level.
• DXE driver, it can be injected into the BIOS itself.

The problem with the DXE driver is that this section is not loaded when the PC goes live from the sleep mode.

Would it be possible to produce a PEI driver, which can be injected into the BIOS section, which is executed upon wake up?

P.S. I apologize if this is a stupid question and the answer is obvious.

windows 2019 server

Is this driver compatible with windows 2019 server?

SVID / General Question

Hey, nice work.

Considering wether I should use this or the payne ffs injection. Are there any benefits over the other?

Especially regarding the SVID - my bios has the setting "SVID Communication = Disable" -- Is this equivalent to ""disable CPU SVID telemetry (a.k.a. "PowerCut")"" ?

Am I right that you can just remove the microcode from the bios, but the OS can later load newer microcode (with meltdown/spectre fixes) without affecting the multi unlock?

Thank you!

Questions about compability

I read that you have ASUS Z10PED8-WS and i am curios that will it work with my chines huananzhi x99 tf?
Sorry that my englisch isnt wery well.

ASUS Z10PED8-WS

Hi,

I noticed that you are maybe using ASUS Z10PED8-WS motherboard. I am asking tips for regular bios settings for the best performance with this driver. What is best settings for:

Option / [ in use ]

CPU1/CPU2 Load-line Calibration [Auto]
CPU1/CPU2 Current Capability [140%]
CPU1/CPU2 Power Phase Control [Optimized]
CPU1/CPU2 Power Thermal Control [140]

Xeon Turbo Charger [Disabled]
CPU1/2 Input Voltage [1.900]

Power Technology [Custom]
Energy Performance Tuning [Disabled]
Config TPD [Disabled]
ACPI T-States [Disabled]

Something else? I just cannot get turbo over 2.8 Ghz on linux. I used to have 3.8 Ghz turbo with Supermicro X10SRA single socket motherboard with same CPU(s).

about the microcode

I remove the microcode from the bios.
But the motherboard don‘t allow boot...

So is there a older microcode can do the same? Which verison.

And i used a older microcode.But when the windows10 boot it loaded the 43 verison microcode auto....
how to solve it...

8890v3 2.5g i306f3 where do I need to change?

Hello, may I ask 8890v3 2.5g i306f3 where do I need to change?
8890v3 2.4g i306f2 I have a successful Turbo.

Can I compile and use this in Linux?

I'm a user of Arch and I would like to know if it is possible to make use of this piece of art you made...
