December 19, 201510 yr Author yes surely , i feel unlucky with my ga z170x g7 and i7 6700 (6700k out of stock),i think gigabyte do the same withheld about unlock turbo ratio in the past . last gigabyte motherboard for me if nothing move.
December 19, 201510 yr Maybe because Intel is not happy about it. But it's just a guess. It's a pretty good guess.
December 19, 201510 yr Intel closed non-z oc in haswell in about 10 days. I bet right now they making a microcode update to close this thing down. This is why gigabyte won't even bothering to make non-k bioses
December 20, 201510 yr They can change the microcode but the current micro code is well mature enough than we will ever need on this platform. Also asrock allows you to change micro code in the BIOS so no problem changing BIOS
December 20, 201510 yr So what you're saying is we can expect a mechanical lock from Intel on upcoming batches.
December 20, 201510 yr They can change the microcode but the current micro code is well mature enough than we will ever need on this platform. Also asrock allows you to change micro code in the BIOS so no problem changing BIOS So if you get your skylake non-k oc working, and won't update bios you will be good like forever? Unless you will update your bios they can do nothing to shot it down? But that story http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/g3258-owners-windows-10-will-not-install-boot-when-overclocked.214699/ shows they could force you to update your bios
December 22, 201510 yr Maybe they want to make it right, with power saving mode etc? But it still pretty suspicious, #JUSTDOITGIGABYTE
December 22, 201510 yr i asked giga. tech support.. and they answered this to me Dear ZvoneXP, Your valuable feedback is the motivation for us to improve and serve you better. If there is any further information, we will update our website as soon as possible. Regards, GIGABYTE
