Would it be possible to go 4k12 or beyond with bclk instead of a higher divider?

Should work with a good kit

Yes, that's what I need to do with my kit on water, boot 4k 12-11 and then bump it up to 4133 in the OS. 

Once the mems get a little chilly when running dice the 4133 setting starts to work, then the mems can be bumped up to 4200-4250.

@DR4G00N PMing on something somewhat related. I'm hopefully starting dry ice overclocking soon.

Please stop spamming your request in this thread. Check out z390 taichi ultimate or phantom gaming 9 if you need a full ATX mobo for 9900k.

Is the Z390 Taichi Ultimate compatible with Windows 7?

[Achill3uS]

Officially non of the z390 supports win7, not even microsoft does anymore  but you can find results made with both boards on w7, so doable if im not wrong.

Guys Formula Drive ver:3.0.94 works fine for you with 8 core on w7? For me multi can be changed only downwards, not changing on the way up, anybody has same issue?

For mocf with 6c/8c you need to use AFD 3.0.209.1, everything is working properly on all OS with that version. See link from splave below

You need to install a USB card for Z390.

Has anyone tested this mod with an ASUS M8i with either the 8700K or 9900K?

I have a question that has not been answered by KPC yet. I do not feel that it's their fault as they must first either get the board and verify a problem or ask several owners to verify if there is a problem.

I currently own 2 ASRock Z170 OCF motherboards and have one setup for Dice benching. I purchased the motherboards during the Team Competition  2018 a few months ago. The Motherboards are Rev 1.03. I have a problem with mounting my older KPC F1 Dark and I hope someone else has been able to find a simple solution.

I installed the F1 Dark for my benching of my i3-6320 for the Team Cup. While installing the Back Plate/Rods through the mounting holes, it did not want to line up. The back plate did not slide smoothly during installation nor sit flush with the motherboard. I had the feeling that if I tightened the screws on the Hold Down Plate that I would crack or break the motherboard.

I would gladly buy the "New Mounting Hardware" at KPC if this would solve my problem. Other than the AM4 compatibility, it looks identical to the one I have.

Is it just me being to cautious on properly mounting my F1??

Would it be easier to just purchased a New Cooler from KPC??

Thank You For Your Time And Assistance

Which set of holes did you try? For lga 115x it shouldn't be the same hole in every corner.

This is the proper orientation for the back plate/rods.

With both CPU, 8700k is working, 9900k is not working. Post´s but freezes at bios splash screen.

[SparkysAdventure]

@oldirdey I might possibly know of a fix. PMing

Hey guys, has anyone tried 9700k on Z170 ocf with this bios? Mine didn't work. The system won't boot. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

BS: my “me fw version” is 11.6.0.1126.

Did you do this to the CPU? If you have then you probably have to solder your motherboard.

[DR4G00N]

Anyone try Coffee IGPU yet on this board? I was trying to use it yesterday but every time I installed the drivers it just gave a black screen. 

Edit: NVM, I think the IGPU is dead in my 8700K. 7350K's IGPU works fine.

Yes, I did. I shorted the two pins with #2 pencil and isolate others with tapes. Is 9700k works on your Z170 OCF with this bios? I just want to know if the bios works or not before I do any soldering. Thanks!

11/23/18 updates:

I tried the same protocol as before but this time I am using Nick's bios on Z170 OCF with 8700k and it worked!
