GtiJason Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Or take dead cpu and fill in pads to be isolated with a Black Sharpie pen and use as a stamp on the sticky side of good masking tape. Use this as template and cut with thin Xacto blade Edited May 2, 2019 by GtiJason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this, I can't test if the modded efiflash will work on Z270 but the bios def should. Also edited autorun.bat for X8eMOD.bin Pretty sure this bios can run SKL too as it may have been missing from my Z170 modded bios Mod_Pack.zip 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I just try to learn as much as I can about this stuff since it seems to be disappearing every time another XOC'er quits due to lack of time, family, health, frustration with the platform or general lack of respect by those too naive to realize the importance of knowledge. Definitely something that any semi-advanced overclocker can do if you can find the time and dedication to do so I encourage everyone to spend at least 10% of their OC time to learn about things they feel has a lack of easy to find documentation. It's amazing just how much there is to learn when you run into a problem without a simple answer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but be advised the vcore/vid is messed up and will be 1.4-1.5v at optimized defaults for cpu's with over 8 threads Same thing happens on Apex ix with bios 1901mod Edited June 13, 2019 by GtiJason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uklio Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 could you help make a bios for the GA-Z170X-Designare, would this board be capable of running a 9900k overclocked to 5GHZ all core? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie_AU Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Subbed. So it is possible to do this on both the Z170 LN2 and also the shitty Z270 SOC? Have both just like the LN2 way more so would try on the Z270 first..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes123999 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hello, brother, can you share the new version of the bios of (z170x-soc force ln2)? (Supporting Kaby Lake), I have searched on the Internet but I can’t find the new BIOS of this motherboard, there is only one old one from the original factory. For the old bios, I need him to update and use a newer version of the cpu. If it is convenient, please send it to this mailbox (Brotn@qq.com). Thank you very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
