    so based on this i assume that the i5 8600K would be the top option working at the moment...?

    So is it just not possible to activate HT with i7 CPUs? Is it something that can be fixed or is it just technically not possible?

    Can u explain this a bit more?
    As far as i understand this, u just took the z370 bios (P7xxTM) and modified something to get it working with 8th gen CPUs. Is this right?
    I read that u have problems with ethernet when using i7 CPUs. Is that still the case?
    The bios for p7xxDM2 seems to work with i7 if i look at ur list. Why doesnt it work with DM3? The DM2 uses a z170 if i remember correctly. Is this the difference?
    I got a ch341a at home and i am willing to try out the bios...

    I read that u have problems with ethernet when using i7 CPUs. Is that still the case? NO after flash 751tm bios whatever cpu you use the ethernet will still not work

    I got a ch341a at home and i am willing to try out the bios... cuz I only have p751dm2 (proting a z370 bios to z170 is nat a easy work you have to find how to fix something like sata port wifi card port )so that is why only the p751dm2 and p775dm2 have HT improve bios

    Such improvement in short period of time! Congrats! I have a 775dm3 with an old bios - KBL not supported - I cannot wait to use this bios, but I need ethernet :( Is it difficult to upgrade the bios? Can I save mine for security / Backup reasons? thx

    I guess you can go for this http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/coffee-lake-bios-updates-p775dm3-g.814442/ use win flash BUT you should have a programmer

    Hey,What need I do? I both have a programer and P750DM1 and I'm using i5 8400. If you need, I can help to test.
    I found a strange phenomenon when I restart from hacktosh ,if I insert the headphones to the 1st jack( neat the usb ), then the speakers can work,and if I insert the headphones to headphones, the headphone then is recognized as speaker instead of headphones, and can work.

    My English is not good. Sorry.

    It is possible but if you go get a programmer like ch341a then we can make things more faster

    I have got a programmer before. And it seems that P750DM with P750DM2 BIOS that surpports 8th 6 core ethernet work most time. Sometimes it doesn't work ,but after restart it work. above bios only supports 6 core cpu. modified bios from TM I haven't test.

    :)I succeeded to Ver 3.0. But I don't understand the next way. I have a CH341a and a sop 8 and know how to use it.
    1. As far as I'm concerned, CH341a ch and sop8 are used in BIOS ROM chips, right?
    If this is true, where is the ROM chip located on the main board?
    2. After applying 3.0, can I apply 6.0B bin file directly using CH341a? + I understand cpu picture ( isolate, sort)

    Since the processor you mentioned is only rumoured, would you mind sharing some proof that you actually received it? Getting a photo of the heat spreader and/or a CPU-Z screenshot would be really cool. :)

    ok in that regard the form factor would make sense due to more conservative demands in the mobile pro sector. and that at steep pricing, naturally....

    The filtering won't impact the strength of the VRM, more how clean it is. Mostly it matters what chips are being used.

    E6932 chips by the looks of things in a doubled chip single inductor 3 phase.

    It's mine. But I have sold it to others. This cpu is cool, but same as 8700k, PxxDMx can't supports it absolutely. when it works at 4.6Ghz or more, the voltage is not stable. Although it can starts with 5.0 all core.

    Early silicon can have stuff like power spikes beyond a certain voltage/frequency which could cause issues.

    It's actually a Quadro P5200 (same pipelines as 1080 GTX), and the card most probably comes from HP Z VR Backpack:

    yep, @Prema already pointed towards the same :) shame that this card isnt available for sale anywhere yet! at least not that ive seen...

    btw, here i thought the P5200 was just a higher clocked P5000, thus based off 1070 and not 1080? it also states that on the NBC link u posted ;)
