Enabling hidden 4G is not necessary since it is enabled as last step in BIOS mod.
I've finished the guide, just have to add audio and I'll post it today ...

Edit:
 
I just noticed that you added a video :) Awesome you did it! I will check this out later tonight.
 
Hi folks,
I have tried to add a TPM 20-1 pin 2.0 module and become unsuccessful earlier on this thread. I have deeply investigated that, Asus x79 mainboards are compatible with TPM version 1.2 not 2.0 according to 2-in-1 reversible TPM 2.0 + 1.2 kit, Module for ASUS motherboards - authikey.com

So, if you wish to add a TPM module for Asus Rampage IV Black Edition, you need to purchase a TPM 1.2 version mainly, or reversible one but really expensive like that!

As of 8-March-2024, I have ordered one of those above, but did not work on Asus Rampage IV Black Edition, nor Asus Sabertooth 990FX/Gen3 R.20. Do not buy it....

By the way, original Asus 1.2 TPM module looks quite different from cheap generic TPM module. There are many unused pins on the generic module, I am not sure about %100 compatibility. Original Asus TPM 1.2 Rev 1.02h module (with Infineon SLB9635TT12 chip) has a cylindrical crystal clock generator on it as you can see.

Problem solved!

x79 & z77 like older chipsets can not use TPM 2.0, only 1.2, but x99 & z97 series and up, can use both TPM 1.2 and 2.0. The ones that I have bought being TPM 1.2 came with TPM 2.0 programmed that as far as I have seen on my x99 based Asus Rampage V Extreme. Thus they did not work on x79 & z77 chipsets like Asus Rampage IV Black with this condition.

After surprising to this stupid situation, seen wrong chip present with TPM20_5.62.3126.0 version, I have decided to downgrade it to TPM 1.2 to see if it would work on x79 chipset based Asus Rampage IV Black or not.

I have used “INFINEON_TPM_1.2_2.0.7z” tool on Asus Rampage V Extreme, after making bios adjustments, the utility asked me to upgrade pressing 1 or downgrade pressing 2. I have pressed 2 and it started re-programming. It flashed down to TPM12_4.43.259.0 version then I have pulled the module and inserted it to Asus Rampage IV Black. Yes now the TPM detected by Asus Rampage IV Black Edition and worked successfully.

I had ordered 2 pieces of TPM 1.2 modules from eBay. I have decided to program the second unit using Asus Rampage IV Black edition this time. Although the so called TPM 1.2 module not worked because of being TPM 2.0, I wanted to try programming the second module on it.

After making preparation’s in bios, pressed F7 and the programming screen appeared. Pressed 2 again, it started downgrading. Restarted, entered into bios, started making the necessary adjustments, chosen to enable TPM, legacy mode off, boot other device to Windows UEFI, made two restarts and success, it programmed down to TPM 1.2 and the second module also worked fine on Windows 11 too.

The chip on the so called TPM 1.2 module has the marking SLB9665TT20, but for TPM 1.2 it had to carry SLB9665TT12 marking. This is obviously understandable that, there is a mistake. After I have downgraded the firmware to TPM 1.2 I have tested the module with Asus x79 Deluxe, and AMD based Sabertooth 990FX/Gen3 R2.0 too, successfully. :giggle:

So, if you have ordered and found that the TPM 1.2 module for your system does not work as being advertised, first try to read the marking on the chip, if wrong make the programming blindfolded with the help of this intelligent program. Thanks to the INFINEON_TPM_1.2_2.0 program makers, ‘premamod.team’ :) below is the link for download.


Having a TPM 1.2 module allowed me to "install original Microsoft Windows 11 image", without modding image with Rufus.

Here is another helpful link for programming the chip.👇

Hi everyone,

I urgently need your help !!! I need advice on a new PSU for the RIVBE.

I bought my board back in 2014 and a PSU (a Fractal Design Newton R3) which has been running like a trooper. It died back in december 2024 so that's 10 years of service so I certainly won't complain.

Anyhow. After asking (in the PSU forum here), for advice on a new PSU for this board someone recommended me buying a corsair rm850x shift.

Well turns out that psu ain't compatible at all - and so now I'm stuck with a useless unit.
I'll see if I can get a refund from the store - anyways!

Can one you aficionados recommend me a good PSU which is actually compatible with the Rampage IV Black Edition ??

I'm using a 3070 ti - and some have recommended I go even higher than 850W because the 3070 ti has been known for high spikes on power draw.

Please, please give me some advice.
And thanks in advance!

In case you'd wonder what problem is with the rm850x I've described it in detail at Corsair's own forum



Either way here are the specs:
(yep it's ancient but it works)

CPU
I7-4930K

Size: 32 GBytes
Count: 4 x 8 GB

SSD/Hard Drive
Samsung 840 Pro Series 512 GB

WD Black Series WD1003FZEX 1TB

Optical Drive
Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD Writer

Operating System
Win 7 Pro x64

Phanteks Enthoo Primo

Cooling
Noctua NH-D14 SE2011

Power Supply
Currently Corsair RM850x SHIFT (but the MOBO won't even boot with it)

Also I have an old iffy EPS-750W psu for testing - which is why I know the system does work)

This is odd. That PSU should work just fine. When I got my RIVBE back in 2014 I got an EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G2 Power Supply to power that and the 980 GPU. Even though I no longer use my RIVBE (on the shelf in the closet) because it has a weird freeze issue I am still using the EVGA PSU in my current system and I just discovered it is now out of warranty... I need to keep an eye out for a new PSU now...lol.
Back then EVGA was unbeatable for PSU's as everyone was recommending them. I can attest that it was a solid and well worth the price purchase.
I recommend an EVGA PSU but I would contact their support specifically about the issue you are facing with the Corsair PSU. Have you tried contacting Corsair support? Maybe there a different cable they can send you that will alleviate the issue you are having.

Thank you. Yea I've heard only good things about EVGA PSUs as well.
My only personal experience with them was an EVGA Classified 780 ti gpu which was in my original build with this board 10 years ago - good quality too - not a psu ofc but anyway.

I've made at thread in Corsair's PSU section, but barely getting any feedback there.
Tbf at first I thought that was their Support area.
I haven't tried filling a support ticket yet. I'll give it a try.
But the window for getting a refund is about to slip away - got a few days left.

My current theory is that this board doesn't work with ATX12V 3.1 (which rm850x SHIFT uses).
Even the non shift version of the same PSU is using ATX12V 2.4

But that's just a theory. I describe it further in the Corsair thread link in my first post.

But it's about the ATX12V 24 pin connector which is different from any other PSU I've used - pin 20 and pin 14 is missing (they're fused with a pin beside it instead, leaving an empty pin spot)

Pin 20 is "missing" on all PSUs these days - that's been standard for 10 - 15 years I believe.

But the "missing" pin 14 is new to me which is why I suspect it can have something to do with the way RIVBE behaves with it.

I'm grasping straws though - so far it's the only thing I can see could affect it this way.

You can also try contacting Asus support on this. It may take a week or two for them to get back to (primarily because the board is old) but they may have a solution. One solution that may come up is that some PSUs have modular cables and all you may need is a different cable. I am not sure if the Corsair one you have is modular or not as I haven't looked at it. Alternatively it may be time to upgrade your system. The only real reason to keep the RIVBE at this point is for testing and pushing the limits on older CPUs.

Yeah, it is getting old no doubt. But I don't have the funds right now to build a new rig unfortunately. The PSU is fully modular and I've contacted Corsair support and gotten a ticket.
They might take while to reply.

And I only have like 2 - 3 days left if I want a full refund hehe, a bit torn here 😅

Yeah, been there which is why it took me until 2020 to upgrade my system. I went AMD Ryzen 9 3900X with a Gigabyte board (it was all much cheaper than a comparable intel). I eventually dropped the Gigabyte board due to so many issues and went with an ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero and it's so much better than the Gigabyte. Stay away from Gigabyte as best you can even though you may see a lot of their stuff cheaper than other vendors they are not worth it IMHO. At the same time stay away from the Armory Crate software from Asus it's horrible software.
They might have a solution instead that will work with the RIVBE. Hopefully you get it all straightened out.
