Posted April 2, 20187 yr Benefits of ASRock motherboards is continued support and with coffee this is no different. This mod and bios will actually will help them lose money. So make sure to thank Nick Mod point is below, connect both pads with tin/silver ink etc. Flash bios http://picx.xfastest.com/nickshih/asrock/Z17MOCF751A.rar with kabylake CPU, shut down insert coffee and go.

April 7, 20187 yr So far when we tried shorting with condtuctive glue nothing happens when pushing start button, doesnt even try to power on. @Splave @NickShih And for some reason the bios 7.51 boots fine with kaby??
April 8, 20187 yr LOL it's work Thanks Splave & Nick. i7-8700K + Z170M + BIOS L7.51A (Mod with 2B pencil) But cant fix CPU Ratio wait for Nick Update Microcode ha ha.... (Formula Drive is work but not fix CPU ratio all core) More detail : https://clockemup.com/z170m_ocf_mod_8700k/ Edited April 8, 20187 yr by Audigy BIOS Version L7.81A to L7.51A

April 9, 20187 yr Author IF you have trouble booting you can do this mod also but most mobos will not need it. Resistance tolerances are to blame Make sure you use a high quality silver conductive pen on cpu backside, less quality nickel or copper maybe not good enough. For multiplier change in OS use XTU for now, there will be fix coming soon. Edited April 9, 20187 yr by Splave
