Bios For Gigabyte z170 soc force Ln2

[suzuki]

Anyone has the latest bios for this board,as it seems is not retail ?

Is there a bios for skylake locked cpu's ? What about kabylake support ?(I do not dare to ask about CFL :)) )

Hey mate, sorry I never received this board.....only used it for  a short time from a friend before I retured it. Dino or Sofo should be able to help you

Sorry to hjiack, but if any of the parties also have BIOS for the Z270 LN2 version as well, it'd be much appreciated

I'll check what I have at home, I did have the z170 board, and never had the z270 board.

Where did you get the board from? cant get the bios from whoever you got the board from?
Technically Cookie or maybe Sofos would be the best guys to get this from FYI, And Dino is no longer at Gigabyte.

I have the x14c and x14d bioses IIRC, don't know if they work for non-k OC though.

Kabylake definitely works.

It would be awesome if someone modded it for Coffee though.

It is not listed over there,not for the ln2 board,only for regular soc force.

Early Christmas present.

Seems X14c is what one of the bioses on the board is flashed with, so I don't actually have it.

.14d

Retail BIOS for the Z270 SOC 4-DIMM board works on the LN2 but I suspect since it isn’t tuned for 2-DIMM that it is holding the RAM OC back.

Thanks to all who posted and special thanks for the ones who sent links on private.

Can be closed ,i got what i asked for :D.

[Noxinite]

I assume no Coffee bioses?

Unfortunatelly no,i guess it is possible but implies a mod aswell.

But the board works 105 bclk on non skylake bios,after which it freezes. 

I need to test with Xtu to see if it stll keeps this bclk.

You figure out that you must set eventual dram voltage and boot dram V the same ?
Took me a couple weeks to figure out the boards "quirks"
but once you do it OC's mems on par or better than Apex IX yet it's only z170 chipset
RTL's at 48/49 can do some damage if you can run 4080+ c12 that tight

[suzuki]

i didn't figure it out, will try later when i get home.

Bottom line is xmp doesn't do jack on several ram modules,it's like it sets only freq but forgets about voltages and timings etc(on x16 and x20b bioses).

I cannot figure out how to set timings for both modules in the same time,not to go to each slot and put all the timings again.

When there is something which the board doesn;t like ,even the  clr cmos has a hard time to get you back in bios.

How is it possible they don;t have even a profile for bdie or spi32m or whatever, like the other producers ? Like they remained in skt 775 era with the bios options

There's a reason these were never meant to be given to the public
Step 1 use the x14b bios and this album for reference

But set Dram training, eventual and vtt manually

Do not touch any of these loadline, current protection etc. Leave auto

Memory timing mode to manual in 2 spots, or "Advanced Manual" in both for controlling all timings noy just RTL/IOL

 

[GtiJason]

I also used x12 but was not as good imo

X12

X14b

@zeropluszero Any chance you have X16 or newer bioses?
