I have been thinking what if someone could add the cpu micro code to z170 bios to recognize these Kaby lake cpus that dont have an unlocked multiplier on motherboards that allow non K Overclocking on Skylake

 

or if some brand keeps this feature by default(asrock could)

I have tried a 4560 pentium on an Asrock z170 professional ...

 

And is not able to pass from 102.9mhz of BCLK

 

Not turn on

 

cheers

Did you update bios to get support?

Of course, because without updating the bios does not start

Of course, because without updating the bios does not start

that is the reason the old bios with BCLK overclock feature needs a mod it to be able to OC the Kaby lake/Skylake Refresh CPUs

Intel may done something inside kaby cpus to prevent non-k oc.

Intel blocked non-K overclocking for Skylake in a microcode update. In order for motherboards to support Kaby Lake processors, the newer microcode is required.

 

So unfortunately no non-K overclocking for Kaby Lake.

if people uses the old BIOS they cna still use that feature

then someone has tried modifying z170 bios which allowed non K CPUs and add it replacing an older cpu from that list?
