Posted May 1, 20196 yr Here is all you need to run Coffee Lake ( Refresh ) cpu's on Gigabyte Z170X-SOC-Force-LN2 Just follow the Direction_HWBot.txt file after extracting Mod_Pack.zip
May 1, 20196 yr This is amazing. Even though barely anyone owns this board, I am certain everyone who does will love this.
May 1, 20196 yr I have 2 of this, need to post a FS soon. This topic just made a 60 € boost in price :)).

May 2, 20196 yr Go get your ready made CPU isolation stickers here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CPU-Pin-Insulation-Sticker-I5-for-LGA1151-I5-8400-8500-8600K-I7-8700-8700K/273337132333?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=572697269657&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
May 2, 20196 yr Author 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, 20196 yr by GtiJason

So I'd need to mod a bios for that board, not all versions can be modified as well. So just provide a couple of the better bios versions and I'll see what I can do

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
June 13, 20195 yr so much people has and uses that board nowadays so this was a really important update,thanks.

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

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, 20195 yr by GtiJason
July 14, 20195 yr 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?
March 2, 20205 yr 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.....
November 10, 20204 yr 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.
