nyu1985 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Hello, I'm in the same boat. I succeeded with my Z390 board but I haven't found a way with the X99 Designare. Have you made some progress ?

nyu1985 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 My spec is in my signature: Gigabyte X99-Designare-EX | Core i7 6850k 3.6 Ghz | 32 Go DDR4 3200 Mhz Corsair | Saphire RX 570.... Geekbench 5 and 4 are good from what I've seen (I tried with different SMBIOS, results are the same).

nyu1985 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Yes I had the same but fix it by using other values. You can use attached EFI. I still need to find a way to get hdmi audio. I will also try Big Sur boot.

Thameem Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Thanks, It is showing some decent numbers now. In the intel power gadget tool, the requested frequency is around 25.50, is that a problem?
