x99 F8 - 2699 -v3 #90

Hi i know this is a very late post but i a totally stumped.

I tried the following Bios files
hz-x99f8.tu.ffs-20 hz-x99f8.tu.ffs

now i can flash both to the motherboard and i do get 3.30ghz on all cores for the turbo. the hz-x99f8.tu.ffs-20 was more stable in windows. However i am getting major issues with the bios.

Upon restart the motherboard makes a horrible noise and loads the bios up right away on a screen that isn't normally present Recovery. If i esc out windows loads. I have tried the load defaults save and reset but i get this on every boot up.

I am a bit stumped as i then followed the manual guide removed the 06f2 and turned off the c states and tried the bios at that point however windows freezes after an hour. but i don't get the boot up issue.

i have flashed the backup back to the motherboard and i am at a bit of a loss if anyone could recommend how i should proceed.

The machine is an editing pc so the boost is massive for us.

Many Thanks

Chrissy

Unfortunately, you have another revision of X99-F8 motherboard that is not fully compatible with the original BIOS available in Mi899. The only option for you is to mod the original BIOS that your motherboard came with.

The lockup issue could be for multiple reasons:

First of all, you need to make sure that the system is 100% stable in the original state.

I never recommend Chinese motherboards for serious work as you never know when and how it will fail. For mission critical devices I recommend used Dell / HP / Lenovo workstations, for example Dell T5810 in this case.

could you recommend a board?
dataloss isnt an issue as the f8 support vtd so have immou as proxmox sits behind it. so if the board fails at most we loose an hours work the cpu is so fast you would never know it was on top of a hypervisor yet it runs just like a desktop machine

all we need is a board that can take 2699 v3 or v4 64gb 4x 16gb ddr4 ideally 3 pci e slots for the gpu and hba

i loaded win 10 so i could get the bios update on the board, and tested with cyber punk for a good 8 hours. the -20 mV one was stable all that time it just wouldn't work in the bios right.

If there is a board that can run those chips i am happy to have a recommendation.

p.s. thank you for answering

Huananzhi X99-F8 is one of the best if not the best offer from China, but from my experience, I couldn't make Turbo Boost Unlock working with Proxmox, no matter what I try, with Turbo Boost Unlock the board would lock here or there.

If you want something quality and reliable then go with the used workstations, like I have already suggested, Dell T5810 for example.
