Haswell Refresh & Intel 8-Series Motherboards: it's a shame.
Hi to all.
I think the title is explicit.
As most people knows, Intel 8-Series chipsets based Motherboards will work with Haswell Refresh CPUs, just a BIOS update is needed.
I know that future Broadwell chips won't work.
I decided to build a workstation using an Intel motherboard, DH87MC, with latest Core i7 4790 Haswell Refresh CPU. Clean 4790, not 4790K.
I preferred an Intel 8-series MB rather than an Asus/MSI/etc 9-series based 'cause I use Intel motherboard for years (the oldest build is an ancient AN430TX, for Pentium MMX).
I love Intel motherboard for its clean design, without useless 3rd party chips that causes only driver issues; honestly I'm sad about the decision by Intel to leave MB market.
I'm only a small italian OEM and I know I can't change Intel decisions, but INTEL WAKE UP!
you have the resources to update the BIOS to your MBs to support your latest Haswell Refresh CPUs.
PLEASE MAKE THIS BIOS UPDATE, Intel, you are the biggest IT Company and a lot of persons bought your MBs for years (like me).
let's make this update, to honor the trust we put in you.

DQ77KB Won't boot if 5TB USB HDD is connected
Hello community!
My DQ77KB stops booting if 5TB USB Seagate drive is connected. The details are the following:
- BIOS version is 0056
- OS is Debian with MBR GRUB
- POST screen is ok and than it just hangs
- Everything works ok if HDD is connected after the system has booted
- HDD model is Seagate Backup Plus STDT5000200
- Boot order is correct (checked with F10 on startup)
- USB boot is disabled
- System boots ok with 4TB Seagate drive connected in place of 5TB drive
Is seems to me the MB tries to boot in UEFI mode when HDD is attached although UEFI boot is disabled in BIOS. What makes me think so is that just the same thing happens when I select force UEFI boot in BIOS with no Seagate drive connected. (But that might be just a coincedence).
Any idea on this?
Thanks and best regards,
Ilya

recover the data on the RAID 10 volume
Hi Experts,
I have a RAID 10 volume built on the Intel ICH10R. However, currently the RAID controller seems cannot recognize the RAID volume. It displays not defined and all the four disks are marked as offline member. Each disk can be detected in both BIOS and the RAID configuration interface (press ctrl+I).
Even if I attach the four disks to another Intel chipset X58, it has the same problem.
Before the issue happens, I only change the SATA port for the disks because one SATA data cable seems has some issue. I shutdown the computer and replace one SATA cable, insert it into a different SATA port. All the 6 SATA ports are native ICH10R ports. After I start the machine again, the issue happens.
How can I recover the data on the RAID 10 volume? Thank you for the help in advance.

D2500CC primary lan bricked (port can be seen by OS)
Hi!
Long story short: after a power outage D2500CC won't boot anymore - black screen, so I enabled BIOS in recovery mode (jumper) and it booted into BIOS. After many experiments I realized that when I turn on PCIe ASPM D2500CC won't boot, when I disable it - it boots fine. Primary NIC on the MB is dead. When it's booting Linux says - "Invalid MAC Address: ff:d3:51:03:43:b2", in fact it is invalid, it's nowhere near what it used to be. In BIOS I can't see MAC for primary port - it's empty, secondary port works perfectly and I can see MAC in BIOS. In OS I can see both ports on the PCI device list, so it's not "fried", in fact led on the right side of port works, left doesn't.
The best thing - two weeks ago the warranty period ended, I have this board exactly 2 years and 2 weeks
Back to issue.
So I took e1000e source code and disable MAC check, now it boots w/o error and I can see the port in OS, ethx device appears with that invalid MAC. I didn't use the port and I'm not until I solve this.
So next what I did was I took a copy of EEPROM contents of each of port using "ethtool -e eth2 > file.txt" and "ethtool -e eth2 raw on > file.bin".
After comparing them and searching on the internet, secondary module looks fine from what I can tell (it's the working one, no surprise here ), first bytes are MAC address and some of the following bytes seems to show the same values what I have found on the internet. For the primary port - it's pretty much awful, nothing seems to be correct from what I know. MAC address in message "Invalid MAC address" is not the same as first bytes of EEPROM, so I assume EEPROM is full of invalid data now. Maybe because of this board won't boot with PCIe ASPM on and if I fix this, ASPM will work properly.
So the question is how to fix this.
One of the solutions I have found is get the content of EEPROM from working port, change the MAC address to broken port real MAC address and write byte-by-byte to the broken port using ethtool, so it will start working with supposedly correct EEPROM. This seems to be fine and as I have nothing to loose, I can try that.
Then I realized that maybe those ports are different, like primary and secondary differs one from other not just by MAC address. Can someone please get me a copy of EEPROM (using ethtool) of primary ethernet port from working D2500CC (you can replace MAC with XX and the send it so me)? So I can compare and see whether those are similar.
| Start of working ports EEPROM (changed MAC to XX) | Start of BROKEN ports EEPROM (invalid MAC is still shown) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

INTEL DH87RL : Unable to enter BIOS
I have purchased an Intel DH87RL motherboard and I have never been able to enter its BIOS.
On pressing F2 on boot, it just freezes till I hit the reset button on the CPU. F7 doesn't work either.
I know the keyboard is working since F10 option to enter the boot menu works.
I have tried out the following:
1. Removed CMOS battery for 12 hrs with CMOS jumper removed.
2. Tried connecting keyboard to the USB 3.0 port near HDMI port, USB on the front, as well as USB 2.0 ports.
3. Tried long pressing the power button( till 3 beeps)... the options appear but on pressing F2 or F7, system hangs and I have to reset the CPU.
4. Updated the BIOS version to 322. Still no use.
5. Replaced CMOS battery.
6. reseated the RAM.
7. Reseated the SATA connector of HDD to other ports (from port 0 to port 1) on motherboard
8. went to windows 7 from windows 8 ( not needed, i know!!)
9. Re-flashed BIOS( from windows )
My configuration is as follows:
i5 processor i5-4570
Kingston (1 X 4GB) 1600MHz RAM
Cooler Master 600W Thunder PSU
Cooler Master K281 cabinet
Seagate Maxtor 500GB 5200RPM HDD
Display out through HDMI to Sharp Aquos TV( Intel HD4600 unable to output the correct resolution to this TV)
Is the motherboard faulty?
Any support in this regard would be really appreciated.

BIOS updating problem - DH61BE board
Hello all,
I have a DH61BE that on which I am trying to update the BIOS. I have been able to update my 0020 to 0048 using Windows update file. According to literature, I need to use the .bio file using BIOS recovery to change the Intel Management Engine Firmware from 7.x to 8.x before I can move higher than 0048. I have attempted this several times without luck. Here are the steps I follow:
- Download the 0048 .bio file to another computer
- I have copied the .bio file to a CD and a USB drive root directory, with no other files on media
- Place cd or USB in to target machine (I have tried both front USB and main board USB ports)
- Shut down and unplug
- Pull the BIOS jumper
- Power up
- Let set until system processes (3 to 5 minutes)
This is where I don't get results; I power up, the fans spin, some little lights turn on, but the screen remains asleep and even after 10 minutes nothing else happens. If I shut down and replace the BIOS jumper the machine boots up and the IME firmware remains a 7.x version. The machine works fine and windows starts fine, but I would like to get higher than the 0048 version.
I have also removed the CMOS battery for 40 minutes and repeated above.
Any thoughts about this, or tricks that might help?
I might try burning the CD in Live File and a second in Mastered to see if this makes a diff.
Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions. Feel free to laugh if I am missing something obvious or doing something stupid! :>)

Does Recovery BIOS Update replace the entire contents of BIOS?
I have a DH67CL board which I stupidly flashed beyond Sandy Bridge, in other words, I went from to 0132 to 0146 (before it was pulled from intel.com) and then on to 0156 because 0146 was flaky. I want to revert back to 0132 because of a bug which does not appear on a similar PC with 0132. My question is: does executing a Recovery BIOS Update replace the entire contents of BIOS? If true, that would solve the published problem that once a board moves from Sandy Bridge (0132 and below) to Ivy Bridge BIOS, the board is forever doomed to remain on Ivy Bridge. I am comfortable with the use of a portable floppy drive and moving jumpers.

Intel DH61CR & Intel ITK
Hi, I am using the Intel ITK to modify settings in the BIOS and add some additional information in the SMBIOS part of the ITK. When I flash the PC with the BIOS file I created, the additional info in the SMBIOS section is not being displayed in the BIOS. the serial number and asset info is being displayed. Can anyone point me in the right direction. the screenshot attached may clarify what I mean.

DZ87KLT-75K: Thunderbolt not working, except display
Hello,
I've been having an issue with Thunderbolt on the Intel DZ87KLT-75K desktop board for a while with an Apple Thunderbolt Display.
As a Mac user primarily, I bought a PC for playing games and doing other Windows-stuff. For my Mac, I already had this display, so I chose a motherboard with Thunderbolt support. I also have a Western Digital Thunderbolt Duo storage device.
The Thunderbolt Display works great - as a display - but the additional ports (webcam, USB, FireWire, Ethernet) aren't working. The Windows device manager shows a "Base System Device" after booting with the Thunderbolt Display connected. After disconnecting and connecting the display again while booted, the Base System Device is gone. The Western Digital Thunderbolt harddisk isn't recognized at all - not when connected at boot time, and not when hot-plugged.
I'm using these parts:
- Intel DZ87KLT-75K motherboard (with thunderbolt display connected)
- Intel Core i7 4770K
- Windows 8.1 Pro (UEFI boot on GPT drive)
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 (with no display connected), used trough Lucid Virtu MVP
- Apple Thunderbolt Display
- Western Digital Thunderbolt Duo 4TB
I have tried getting Thunderbolt to work in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 (all 64 bits) and had no success this far. After some Googling I found this on the MSI forums, but it doesn't look like I can find that option in Intel's Visual BIOS.
It would be great if someone could help me getting this to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Intel update manager - does it really work?
Hello,
I have a DH87MC desktop board. Running intel update manager, it seems that there are no updates available. Anyway there are two updates I could install:
- Bios v0158 (I have v0157)
- Graphics driver 10.18.10.3907 (I have 10.18.10.3621)
In your opinion, why update manager does not detect them?

DQ87PG Bios Support broken?
I have a new DQ87PG-Mainboard and tried to make it fit for Windows 8.1. On the Intel-Support-Site I found 6 Bios - Version 30, 35, 36, 121, 139 and 141.
My mainboard came with v. 30. I installed Win 8 and upgraded dirct to Win 8.1 - the PC worked well. Then I found Bios 139 with 8.1 support. I tried to flash Version 139 with all three methods - without succes, each with the same "FWUpdateFullBuffer" - error message. So I started to flash each version step by step. My results:
V 35 flash without error
V 36 flash without error
V 121 error - Bios file is not for DQ87PG, but for DB85FL Board
V 139 error FwUpdateFullBuffer
V 141 error FwUpdateFullBuffer
I'ts not my first experience with flashing mainboard, but I never hat such a number of problems.
The V 121 is more the a month on the support site, I found in an other discussion here a hint about this, but nothing happens.
I'm sure to maked a mistake by flashing the board! My system is plain vanilla:
DQ87PG Mainboard
I5-4670 Cpu
2*8 GB Kingston Memory
1 Samsung 849 EVO SSD-Drive
1 Plextor DVD-Drive
and it is quite good, stable an powerful.

dq87pg: ignore UEFI BootXXXX variables
Hello,
Intel motherboard dq87pg ignore/corrupt all UEFI BootXXXX/BootOrder variables except last one set.
So if you install Windows then Linux you've got in boot menu (F10) only Linux (grub) and if you installed Linux then Windows you've got only Windows Boot Manager by F10.
It appears to be worked well only in origin firmware ver. 0030, but in 0035,036 it was broken by ignoring UEFI variables. Also if you reflash the same motherboard (0035/0036) with both installed Win/Linux with origin 0030 firmware you've got all announced OSes in boot menu (F10) back(!). So it's just ignoring then and seen then only in ver. 0030
Version 014x corrupts previous set BootXXXX variables when you set new one. When you set new BootXXXX var via efibootmgr it's ok, but when you reboot and check it again with efibootmgr -v, you will see corrupted device path in all variables. So you've got again only one OS in boot menu (F10)
Also it's reproduces for all four motherboards in my hands

DZ86BC: with BIOS 0042 continuously restarting
After an update from 0039 to 0042 the board did not pass the POST anymore. I disconnected all unnecessary hardware, reseated memory, with no success. No chance to enter the firmware settings. Port 80h code before restarting was E6.
After a recovery BIOS downgrade to 0039 everything was fine.
So what is the problem? Buggy BIOS? Hardware failure?

I am using Graphics card from my old PC on the new Intel server board S1200V3RPS. First I am able to install OpenSuse 13.1 without inserting Quadro graphic card. Then I insert the graphics card and try to start the system. At the time of startup, I see garbage on the two monitors I have connected to the graphics card. Then the linux system loads and the card appears to be working fine and I am able to install legacy drivers for the card on the linux systtem.
However, the issue is that I do not have any access to BIOS screen at the time of startup. Please let me know how can I fix this?
