QTJ2 Not working on Z170

BIOS/UEFI Modding BIOS Modding Guides and Problems

Hi

I previously had experience using a BGA to 1151 CPU that I purchased from Aliexpress … The seller sent the BIOS , I updated and popped in the CPU and it works fine

Now I have another build , with an MSI Z170I AC PRO , the seller from TAO BAO has general links on the product page , that include all MOD BIOS for most if not all Skylake/ Kaby lake Motherboards …

So after translating the weblinks and doing some Jiggery pokery involving Motrix and oneleaf.icu to avoid Baidu spyware , I updated the BIOS found in the Links to version ‘E7980IMS.1E0’

The BIOS updated fine , and ran with the i5 7500 . However when trying to boot with the QTJ2 , the board immediately turns on then off

I am not sure if it is something I am doing wrong or if its a faulty chip …

Here is a video showing said issue above https://photos.app.goo.gl/ahdJtdW3ifP57Yeu8

Then ask the chinese, its them who made the mods to the bios files in order to “supposedly” support their POS products mutants.

Hi @Blossomcrown

Yes I tried this BIOS , after a flash , the board did not post with the i5 7500 Kabylake , is this normal , or a bad flash ?

The QTJ2 BGA mutant continues to do just click on and off , with this or any BIOS I tried .

So I presume I just got a dud chip

well if its a bad flash it wont even post with i5 7500…
