System

• BIOS Version: Tried both 2703 & 2704
• GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4070 Super Windforce OC
• [OK] CSM is turned off.
• [OK] 4G decoding is enabled.

Description

I can't solve the Pad problem on BIOS v2704, even with MMTOOL v4.50.0.23 (or higher)

Then I decided to tried with BIOS v2703 >> No pad problem, ReBAR set to 32 (unlimited) with RTX4070(S) (12GB) fully working but... I can't run my RAM above 1333MHz (2x8GB XMP 2400MHz)

XMP working on stock 2703 & 2704.

Please see files attached for comparison.

Thanks !

Sorry, I just saw "No POST, overclocking not working, etc"

Actually it didn't work either so I reopen :

No POST, overclocking not working, etc
This is caused by corruption from using UEFITool which happens on some firmwares. Redo the guide but use MMTool instead for all steps involving adding/replacing modules so you would use the pad file workaround for all patched modules.
