  1. anything for a z170i pro gaming? they are coming out of the box with 18xx ver BIOS that prevents flashing to any of the non-K OC BIOS I can find out there

  2. Can anyone let me know if I can use any of the BIOS versions for my GIGABYTE Z170X Ultra Gaming MOBO. Thanks

    • I don’t think so unfortunately 🙁 – Brendan listed every BIOS he could personally get his hands on and although MOST are listed, I believe a couple of models weren’t around…or at least BIOS files weren’t around at the time of this 🙁

  3. Is there a bios version for GIGABYTE Z170X Ultra Gaming to overclock a non K cpu (i5 6500)

    • The Z170 unlock was patched after Intel insisted very soon after it was noticed, so you would need to find the specific BIOS version for your board and even then it’s not recommended since it could also mean that security updates introduced later are not going to be available for that patch.

  4. downloaded the bios file for my board but can’t lid it to me board it’s there in the M flash but can’t select it to load? Do these files still work ?

  5. Please help i have an Asus Z170P motherboard and when i try to use the flash utlitly is say its not a proper bios, is there a work around

    • Are all of these still working? Building a rig and want to OC my i7 need to know if any are confirmed working

    • As Z170 is EOL (end of life) it’s more than likely that the BIOS files are no longer available.

      Good luck finding them.

      Dave.
