hello!

So, im really close to buy this device now when its a sale..i get the same items with gearbest and banggood, right(the stand i mean ofc)? .
been looking on the i7 stylus, but 64 ssd it abit low

i was hoping it just was enought to do a factory reset, but, do i really need to flash the bios? i guess its for removing spywares and stuff that might exists? or why do you guys do it?

im a real noob on stuffs like this,
i have been watching your videos chris( btw awesome work u been doing on all vids)
, and that looking real hard.. have never done anything like that.. 🙁
will prolly be able to get the heat sink to work.. but the bios.. might be another story!

thanks in advice!

Great tutorial and great reviews Chris,
You surely helped me decide between H12 and i9.
Have Received my i9 yesterday and after installing Intel Extreme Utility was surprised to see that Turbo Boost Power was set to 6watts and TB Short Power to 15watts!
Could this be an indication of setting variation depending on Bios version?
Attached is a photo of my bios as I’m not entirely certain what version I have;
V2.7
V5.11
V2.4

Just wanted to be certain before updating my BIOS with the one from here…

Thanks

EDITED

Nevermind found my bios version under system information of Intel extreme utility, its V5.11.

Hi Jorge, I just received my i9 this month as well. Did you have problem reading SD card 128gb? Chris mentioned that there was some bios update but it seems that our sets have the latest bios 5.11…

[Jorge Fernandes]

Hi David, yes only just noticed that.

It looks like it woun’t read anything above 16gb, but this is not a BIOS issue as SD card is detected during post!

Don’t know of any workround the problem, have tested with onder drivers but no luck.

Have a nice day

My cube has a 2gb / 32gb tablet with iWork’8 dual boot z3735f processor. Product Information Model: i1 Bios software is broken. The tablet is not opening. I can not reach the company.I need Bios software. Tablet bios unbrick. Could you send it to me?

I want to restore Bios with the CH341A scheduler. That’s why me need bios. Is there anything he can do to help?

[Robert]

Thanks, it worked.

I had to power the motherboard (MSI desktop motherboard in my case). It saved me hundreds of dollars.

I have written a guide here : Guide to flash a Bios with a SPI CH341A mini programmer.

Hello

I’ve tried to flash the Bios on my bricked Cube i9, but every time when I connect the clip it doesn’t detect the bios chip correctly. I’ve tried it many times but no success. I have driver installed and connect all things and pins like in Chris Tutorial. Whats wrong with that?

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks
