[OFFER] AsRock Z170 Gaming Fatal1ty K6 - Coffee Lake 4c/6c

It works with my skylake processor. i5-6500 @4.4 Ghz, i3-6100 @4,5 Ghz. Coffee Lake bclk not working. (i3-8100)

Gaming k6 or gaming k6+?

The two motherboards are the same. The k6+ is different in that it comes with an external usb 3.0 front panel.

Thank you
Appreciate that

ok it says image not found when i try it in instant flash
but finds my original bios

any chance one of you applying the same mods on this bios incase its any different to the k6

Coffe 6-core CPUs require isolation and connection.

absolute champion
thank you so much

what would you suggest isolating them with?

I haven’t tried yet 6 core CPUs. I have an i3 8100 on the k6 motherboard and it works fine. Only bios flash is required for the 4 core.
6 core required for the connection and isolation.

have you had any luck BCLK overclock the 8100?

No. Maximum 103Mhz.
Unfortunately, I didn’t realize what the hurdle might be. I hope someone solves who knows more than me :slight_smile:

hello , i have the Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6+ mobo and now running with an i5 6500@4,25Ghz (bclk 133 x 32 multi)

i was at first interested in using a i5 8400 and overclock it using the external generator, but from reading this thread, bclk overclock doesn’t work (at least not now) so today i am going to buy the 8600k.
So where do i start?
i only need support for skl 6500 and cflk 8600k.
I see intel ME being mentioned a lot. how to downgrade it ? this mobo has dual bios and the motherboard has an old bios with old intelME in the bios_B , doens’t this flash the ME to an older firmware ?
my point is, mobo has BIOS_A and BIOS_B
Can’t i just switch to bios B and from there
use the function that says backup bios B > A
after that switch to bios A.
Shlouldn’t that downgrade the intelME ?

ive got k6+
this is 7.2 bios with sky, kaby & coffee

thank you, i have flashed it. motherboard boots with 6500.
never done pencil mod on cpu, so maybe needs more pencil! any advice for the pencilmod on the cpu ?

Seems that a bit more pencil did the job. :slight_smile: happy user of 8600k :slight_smile:


Is this the original k6+ bios 7.20 after using the automated tool? or you made it manually ?

I made it with coffee time 0.7

Is the pencil mod the same with 8700k or do I have to also isolate the other two pins

Will this work with i5-9600? With the cpu mod?
