Ok, that makes sense. I was able to get the all of the memory register settings via the legacy bios. So should I just set the ones that are not the default values?
yes, basically. In the beginning you can just start by poking the legacy bios values in there.
Then, if that works, start replacing those that need to be set based on SPD values by the values you calculated.
This way you have several smaller problems instead of a big one
Also, is there a "bios porting guide" for intel chipsets??
yes. But you need an NDA, and to get that you need a use case (many machines involved -> Business for Intel), which will be hard to get for older hardware.
