More Skylake non-K Unlocked MSI Z170 BIOSes Available: 16 Motherboard Models Supported
In a thread posted in our Skylake overclocking sub-forum, t!n0 from The Netherlands has listed the unlocked BIOSes for 16 MSI Z170 motherboards. The BIOSes support BCLK overclocking for any locked Skylake processor, but have the same issues as we mentioned in another newsflash article. In short: no integrated graphics, no power management features and poor AVX performance.
The MSI motherboard beta support list now includes: Z170A XPowerGaming Titanium Edition, Z170A Gaming M9 ACK, Z170A Gaming M7, Z170A Gaming M5, Z170A-G45 Gaming , Z170A Gaming M3, Z170A Gaming Pro, Z170A Krait Gaming, Z170I Gaming Pro AC, Z170A Tomahawk, Z170A Tomahawk AC, Z170M Mortar, Z170A SLI Plus, Z170A-G43 Plus, Z170A PC Mate and Z170-A Pro.
You can find the BIOSes for download in t!n0's forum thread. Don't forget to say thanks to T!n0 for sharing and enjoy overclocking!
MSI now supports overclocking non-K Skylake CPUs on a wide choice of Z170 motherboards. If you are looking for the right BIOS version to fiddle around a bit yourself, look no further
You can find all the BIOSses using this link: https://mega.nz/file/woFVVKjL#ut8PQY8BK1wRZkXMzFQNIL5s14oikaIBLb1Ga5fZD90
Like many of you probably would have guessed and find unneeded to mention, a little disclaimer on this matter:
*Overclocking Intel non-K CPUs is not officially supported by Intel and the BIOS versions created by MSI unlocking this option are all beta versions. Intel may choose to disable this option at any time. At no point MSI can be taken responsible for disabling overclocking for non-K CPUs.
Happy benching!
*Log:
- Updated on 15/01/2016 fixed BIOS versions for KRAIT and TOMAHAWK models, added new Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON, Z170A KRAIT GAMING R6 SIEGE and Z170A KRAIT GAMING 3X models
- Updated on 21/12/2015 to include working versions of Z170A GAMING M7, Z170A GAMING PRO & Z170-A PRO
Same issues (like in other companies) apply here also ?
Talking about , no igp , c-states , low avx perf. ... and rest ?
Who needs iGPU anyway?
A few things:
• CPU BCLK OC ONLY
• Limited with discrete VGA card, no way to use iGPU
• EIST, CPU C-states and Turbo Boost feature will be disabled
bios gaming m7 error
@barti27 I know it is hard for you, but to be able to help you, please try describe issue with kind of proper english. If you can't no worry, just write in your native language, I'm sure I can find someone to translate for you.
This is exciting
Thanks for the unlock BIOS!
bios which is bundled with other did not want to unpack error pops up I wanted to write to you directly because I saw that you were busy at the tournament Kingston
hi brothers thanks for the job ...
But the bios of MSI Z170-A PRO , not correct bios upload ..the bios in zip, the same (duplicate pro mate version).
please reup correct bios.
sorry my bad english…
Hi all, I've updated the Z170A GAMING M7 BIOS file and included a working Z170A GAMING PRO BIOS. Please find the updated download link here: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=EC95B515D14CF270!542&authkey=!AG5n2XUZVVOpwi8&ithint=file%2crar
Some fiddling with the MSI Z170A TOMAHAWK AC motherboard and an i3-6100 @ 5GHz
After trying a few times, Groovy ... finally Z170 MSI-PRO and Skylake in the sky.
Martijn, tks for the bios unlocked
You're welcome, thanks for sharing your experiences (awesome background by the way
)
Bios E7972IMS.A2T cant help Z170M Mortar oc non-k
Tested with i3 6100 retail. please help me check again
Try, clear up the cmos.
thanks bios
From yesterday to today, I learned some things about MSI Z170-A PRO
First, clear cmos up! .
After updating the unlocked bios, I changed BCLK, saved and nothing happened
Once you clear up CMOS, the multiplier went to work.
Some combinations of settings can break the overclocking and BIOS reset.
If this happens, clear up CMOS.
Second, Set the Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)
Reboot and instability.
I put off.
Third, Change the CPU Ratio to 37, Change the Ring ratio to 37
These two related options, cause a strange effect, in which you view the change in bclk, but it set the clock in 3.7
keep in auto, real change clock.
Four Set the CPU Core Voltage to 1325
this voltage suits well to overclocking Skylake the problem and that some mortherboards station not showing the voltage correctly.
IN my case I put 1,325 self in CPUZ and bios showed 1,432. So I put vcore m 1,240 Override + Fixed 0005, now appeared properly 1336.
if some friends have a problem with high vcore, try switching to low
I've been testing several numbers for bclk, memory and vcore. But my Prime95 blend test with 4.5GHz and ram 3091 freeze the PC, I have good memories corsair LPX 3200, does not seem to be the issue.
I'm currently using the configuration of der8auer and DigitalFoundry, Core i3 4.4GHz BCLK 6100 / 2560mhz, this more balanced.
Hello guys, I have MSI Z170A Krait so, I formated my flash drive to FAT32(I puted it direcly into MB I/O), downloaded, unzipped copyed the BIOS to my flashdrive. Restarted PC booted to bios. Restarted again to get into Flashmode. It recognized my flashdrive but the bios won’t showup. Is there posibility that this bios is for Z170 Krait (non-A version).
Now later i looked up to file names, there is difference between OCbios: E7984IMS.B5T non-OCbios: E7984IMS.A50(from MSI website). When i renamed the OC bios to the "*.A50" it showed up, but still, it is BIOS for non-A Krait MOBO, which does not have USB 3.1. So my question is: Is it safe to use it on my MSI Z170A Krait?
Thanks
After checking it seems that there is an error in the BIOS list.
Z170A KRAIT GAMING and Z170A TOMAHAWK can't be flashed with the BIOS that have been posted.
We will update new BIOS asap, thank you for your feedback @MoonShadow_CZ.
Hi all, you can download the new MSI non-K CPU OC BIOS files using this link: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=EC95B515D14CF270!550&authkey=!ANATpmkzLArpJqI&ithint=file%2crar
What's new:

Goodluck!
Hi all, I'm new in forum
.
I have been reading previous messages to try overclock I5-6400 on MSI-Z170A-KRAIT-GAMING, I installed the lastest version E7984IMS.A6T and try to modify stock values.
I've been able to change Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) to Enabled and CPU Base Clock (BCLK) and fail reboot because I have not been able to change Ring Ratio and CPU Ratio over 33 stock.
Has anyone been able to overclock non-k CPU with this motherboard?
Thanks to all.
PD:Sorry for my bad English, I'm Spanish .
My is krait gaming Z170, No A version
USB did not find BIOS
E7984IMS.A6T modified for E7984IMS.B6T, a warning, the upgrade is not BIOS
@t\!n0
My is krait gaming Z170, No A version

E7984IMS.A6T modified for E7984IMS.B6T, a warning, the upgrade is not BIOS @pepinorang
That is normal, you can't increase or decrease CPU ratio with all Non-K OC BIOS.
The proper way to overclock on these BIOS is to adjust manually BaseClock along with vCore and memory frequency.
Message to everyone:
Please don't try to change BIOS names, if M-Flash doesn't recognize BIOS file, then it's not the correct BIOS version for your motherboard, that's it.
There is an error in the BIOS list posted in first page, Z170A KRAIT GAMING use BIOS E7984IMS.A6T while Z170 KRAIT GAMING use E7984IMS.B5T.
I informed @t\!n0, he will correct this asap.
The use of E7984IMS.B5T to overclocking, 101 were unable to start
Make sure you clear the cmos before you attempt overclocking. I also noticed that whenever my overclock failed I had to clear cmos before making any changes.
Press F6 is clear CMOS? Or motherboard jumper?
I am using the mainboard jumper cleared, then overclocking, BLCK101 infinite restart
Clear CMOS is jumper or onboard button, F6 is to load default settings.
To overclock with Non-K BIOS you need to adjust manually BCLK + memory frequency + vCore all at once.
Is E7984IMS. B5T has a problem, because no one in the BIOS overclocking succeed
I will try that today and get back to you asap.
thank you
In China, has not found that can use the motherboard overclocking success
I found that I download B5T unlike your date, I download to date is on December 16
Can send B5T to my mailbox, 2612400@163.com
thank you
B5T I use is from the link of this thread...
Envoyé de mon GT-I9500 en utilisant Tapatalk
Links to this post, I download after decompression, didn't find there are B5T
Download again, it has been updated.
I checked and B5T is present in the link.
To download a compressed package, upgrade B5T, date is not the same as you
Or the o.c. failed
Not sure why the date isn't the same, anyway here is the file I used to flash the Z170 KRAIT GAMING (uploaded from my USB dongle): http://we.tl/kydog6UPbK
Or the o.c. failed
Anyway, thanks for your help
Outside the brush A6T DOS, frequency 101 also cannot be started
I have already collapsed
I don't know what is your issue, I tested B5T and A6T on Z170 KRAIT GAMING, both worked without any issue, so it must be something you doing...
All you have to do is to flash B5T
Set up max CPU ratio
Set up BCLK
Set up RAM frequency
Set up CPU vCore accordingly
That's all...
I had the new Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON laying around for some marketing stuff and I figured I'll give it a small shot as well.
Maxed the CPU to 4.6GHz and memory at DDR4-3554:
FYI, with Loadline Calibration enabled and 1.4v set in BIOS, vCore in idle was 1.377v.
vCore under Prime95/OCCT load was 1.381v (+0.004v) all measured with Digital Voltmeter on PWM resistor.
It is also on par with the KRAIT GAMING motherboards and the Z170A-G43 Plus I've posted in previous post.
Max BCLK Straight Outta BIOS on Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON (no external clockgen on this board):

Max BCLK Straight Outta BIOS on Z170A GAMING M5 (with external clockgen):
http://valid.x86.fr/cr64m8
Nice and cheap GAMING boards for 24/7 setups.
BCLK various Settings are tried, more than 101 will not be able to start, CPU and RAM LED LED flashing
My configuration is:
Z170 KRAIT GAMING
I3 6100
Sapphire 370 x
ADATA 8 g 2400 X1
You can't ONLY setting bclk with those BIOS you will also have to set up memory frequency and vcore manually!
Memory and CPU frequency voltage is set up
Memory and CPU frequency voltage is set up
2133
1.325V
I only have a piece of memory, isn't it the reason?
I bought a memory, dual channel of overclocking success now
Originally a memory cannot be overclocking
Interesting... I'll have to test that!
Thanks for your feedback anyway and enjoy your clocking!
I'm sorry, I am happy too early, or a blank screen after restart
To change the power supply, graphics card, the problem is still unsolved
Try many times, only a success
Your BIOS Settings, can send a photo I look at it
Thanks for this, just picked up an i7-6700 and was hoping to up the juice on it a little. Are these BIOSes still being worked on, or were they a one-off gift to OCers? Specifically, I'm interested in C-states. Is there a hardware/technical limitation to them being disabled, or is there hope for them in the future?
Automatically restart several hundred times, and finally able to enter a WIN10
But after shutdown and then boot, and unlimited restart
@pepinorang
No official support from either Intel or MSI and no further development from our side so far.
Absence of power management is indeed one of the technical limitations that all Non-K BIOSes share, regardless of vendor.
It will (most likely) never be fixed, sorry.
Wait few days, I'll post a quick guide for Non-K OC.
"Unlimited restart" (00-19-FF-Reboot in loop) happen on motherboards without external clockgen (Only Z170A GAMING M5/M7/M9/XPOWER include external clockgen) whenever OC fails/crash.
You have to clear CMOS and turn OFF your PSU until motherboard is discharged to get it back to normal.
Sometimes this issue is still present afterwards when you try to overclock BCLK, which in my case was the Intel ME firmware corrupted and re-flash BIOS via M-Flash fixed it.
BBS in China, I asked several have Z170 KRAIT, they all said that his B5T upgrade, but no one can overclocking BCLK, I think is the problem that the BIOS, you can test overclocking BCLK, is it because your CPU is ES version, like some ES version is unlock BCLK
My ES are same stepping than retail so no difference.
Furthermore these CPU don't have BCLK unlocked with normal BIOS...
However I will try to find a retail i3 to show you it works perfect here.
If B5T is no problem, why in China, no one can overclocking success
I don't know what is your problem, I tried two Z170 KRAIT GAMING and I didn't see any issue.
You can clearly see IT WORKS on my screenshots but I'll find a retail chip to convince you!
MSI engineers have confirmed to me, is can overclocking B5T
Don't know where I wrong
May I have a question the BIOS chip
Sometimes the display is not normal
Does it happen with MP BIOS?
Seems more like a VGA issue than BIOS, what VGA is this?
Sapphire R9 370x 4g
It sometimes appears in the BIOS interface
As long as into the WIN10, everything is normal
Is there a A7 variant of the oc bios for the MSI Krait Gaming motherboard?
What do you mean A7 variant?
Anyway the BIOS versions posted in this thread are all we have to offer for Non-K OC.
Does it also happen with MP BIOS or just with Non-K BIOS?
BIOS non-K and MSI official BIOS, there will be the case
Hi I'm having issue, I would boot into BIOS and increase the BCLK above 100, Vcore to 1.325V, DDR4 between 2300-2600 MHz, and Voltage calibration to Mode 1. Followed this guide exactly: http://overclocking.guide/msi-z170-non-k-overclocking-guide/
When rebooting PC with OC settings, leads to the computer getting stuck in boot loop (can take up to 3 minutes) and after many retries boots into Windows with correct OC settings.
When reverted to BCLK 100 MHz system boots up fine first try.
Z170A Krait Gaming
i5 6600
16GB DDR4
I have the same issue but I chose to ignore it as it boots up fine with the overclocked settings and has been prime95 tested for over 12 hours.
You need to check this with our tech suport: https://register.msi.com/
Either you have compatibility issue or defective VGA, best is to check with them, they will help you out.
BTW, I found retail i3 6320, but Z170 KRAIT GAMING sample is not available at the moment, I have to wait my turn.
I tested this one, again without issue... See screenshots I posted.
What's the post codes ?
Anyway, I'm going to re-test all 17 supported boards with retail i3 6320, but I'm convinced I'm just wasting my time...
me too
Yours is different, as you said you can NEVER boot and it's not the same board neither.
Once, waiting for a long time, can enter the system
37X122=4.5G
How long?
About 5 minutes.
There is no post codes as it does not even get to that point, it reboots before that. But like I said its not a problem, as it does it in rapid succession for 5-10 times and then boots up fine, maybe an extra 30 seconds for booting.
Try turning off XMP, it helped me... I think. It reboots about 3 times before posting now. I've got my 6600 running at a conservative 4 GHz at the moment.
FIY, Non-K OC will still work in the future on MSI motherboards and there won't be special BIOS needed anymore.
When BIOS will detect Non-K CPU it use old microcode and display an option to enable Non-K OC.
Will let you know which BIOS versions exactly asap.
well i was planning to change my bios with custom one. i have a msi z170 gaming m5.
so msi will release official bios to oc non k cpu's?
then ill wait for official bios
Hi pepinorang i need your help.. juat want to ask if msi bios support winXP? tried to install with this unlock bios but still got error message..
tried with xp installed image...got blue sreen with ( acpi message )
Here i tested with G4400 @4.8Ghz @Win7.. want to play with xp actually
So far, I don't find MSI Non-K BIOS with XP ACPI Support man. You might want to select MPS Multiprocessor mode during the install
so will msi release official bios or should i install this?
what makes me concern is my system is like 3 months old. i dont want to break things atm ^^
When I change PLRV 101, the motherboard does not start. Infinite reboot. In any version of the BIOS, except version 3.0. MSI Z-170 G-43 PLUS. what to do?
BCLK
You can already use latest official MP BIOS.
When used with Non-K CPU it will display an hidden option that when enabled will allow Non-K CPU OC.
Hi all! Pls help me i have problem
2 months ago I successfully overclock my i5 6500 to 4.4 (1.35v) .A today I wanted to optimize the voltage (had blue screens) and lowered voltage. After that my PC is not turned on and the BIOS default settings restored. After this I would like to introduce the best value BCLK (135.00) and voltage (1.25v) And when switching windows 10 that I saw standing on the default BCLK (100.00) Thereafter, I downloaded the new BIOS. Here this here http://overclocking.guide/download/msi-z170-pro/ and the problem persists(((
Sorry for my bad English,i just russian guy))
My speclist
MSI Z170A-PRO
I5 6500
DDR4 CRUCIAL 8 GB 2133Mhz
Hi, I tryed many times, but no changes here.. I change the bclk in the Bios to 110, but when start the windows the bclk is 100...
used Bios 14T and 14u,,,,
Z170A XPOWER TE...
Your ME is probably broken, try to flash BIOS with M-FLASH and/or FPT several times until it works.
Usually Clear CMOS after failed OC is needed in order to reset Intel ME.
Either it is your OC that is failing due to too low vCore, or you could also have the same issue than Joe90br and your Intel ME might be broken.
Only advice I can give is to try to increase voltage back to 1.35v or to flash your BIOS several times until it works...
Anyway guys, please do note that Non-K OC is not officialy supported and will never be.
I have personally tried the BIOS listed in this thread and they work without major issues, so I'm not going to spend anymore time on this, you have to figure out yourself.
Problem solved! In the new update is a new tab where you can select the NOC mode and overclock the processor
Thanks for help!
So I'm getting the vibe from pepinorang's last post that he's about done with this thread for goodsies, so I guess this is more of a general question for anyone who knows the answer, but does that mean that the MSI official BIOS 1.B (in my case, for the M7 z170, and published on 2016-02-23) actually allows non-k overclocking? I'm not brave enough to check myself, as the changelog simply says
- Updated CPU microcode(0x7C).
and updating microcode (to my ignorant self) feels like it would be A Very Bad Thing if I want to keep OCing my i7-6700
On 03-02-2016 (after 1.B was published), pepinorang mentioned that future bioses will have the "switch to old microcode secretly" option, but that was after 1.B?
edit2: I found E7976IMS.1C1 on another OCing site (but NOT on the MSI website.....), with a publish date of April 6th. Is that the Bios that enables OCing on non-k that pepinorang is referring to?
None of the Official BIOS will lock your Non-K CPU, don't worry.
When there is a Non-K CPU installed, BIOS will display an hidden option named "Beta Runner" in which you need to enable the option "NOC".
If this does not happen it means the BIOS is not new enough and doesn't have the feature implemented.

Thanks for the response; I'm relieved that you're still kicking around this thread. I'm doubly relieved that none of MSI's official BIOSes will gimp my CPU and install prohibitive microcode. I'm just a drop in the consumer bucket, but MSI has got my love for being consumer-friendly and keeping the OC non-k options alive.
Thanks pepinorang!!
Hi,,,
I have MSI Z170i Gaming Pro AC+i3 6100+patriot 8gb ddr4 3400.
I flash my board to bios 1.5 (official bios) and update to bios unlock non K version 1.61
and set :
OC explore mode = expert
Beta runner = NOC
BLCK = 108
XMP = Enable (first) ,,, and try Disable (2nd boot)
vcore = 1.145v
ram = 1.35v
more detail on picture .....
upload pictures free
i play game etc it's normally
but when i restart my pc the case is :
1. blck is back to 100
2. set to xmp (it is read only 3333 = my default ram is 3400)
3. and try to all setting the bios just same as like i did before ..... it's always back to default blck 100.
what wrong with my pc?
thanks a lot

The ones here are a lot newer:
Updated MSI Z170 Non-K Overclocking Guide (new BIOS!) - Overclocking.Guide
I think it can also be enabled in the official bios versions maybe?
says:
Does the official 1.7 BIOS for Z170A gaming Pro Carbon still have beta runner ? and if it go wrong (no beta runner) can I flash back to older BIOS ?
says:
I just try official BIOS 1.7 for Z170A gaming Pro Carbon but just like other official BIOS. BCLK overclocking on my i5-6500 is limit at 121.88 so 3.9Ghz max. rollback to BIOS 1.33 without issue.
says:
It doesn't have the BIOS for the Z170 Krait Gaming, just the Z170A Krait Gaming.

Hello, I want to buy MSI 170A TOMAHAWK AC to overclock my i5-6400. I want to ask you is it still possible to do that on old bios ? Ive heard that someone had problem with overclcoking non-K intel cpu, even on older bios, is there anyone who is running or tried non-k oc on that board ? And i would like to ask you, is there bios difference between MSI Z170A Tomahawk AC and Tomahawk ? They are completly the same boards, just AC have added wifi. Thanks.

Hey guys.
So I was searching for MSI Z170A Mpower Gaming Titanium, which I have owned for a couple of years and decided to build a PC for my GF with.
Got i5 6400, that I wanted to OC. Problem is, the BIOS doesn't show up in M-Flash. I've tried official MSI BIOSes and these show up no problem. I suspect a problem with the file.
Not sure what to do now. Would you recommend trying other ways to flash the bios (so not M-Flash, but something like AMI Firmware Update Utility?
Or is there any chance to find a working bios?
Help would be much appreciated.

I only used ASRock OC Formula for non K OC but for this board I remember it was all about the proper microcode and for example on Gigabyte if you had flashed a newer bios and wanted to flash to an older bios that supports non K OC you had to use FTP in Windows or DOS. Check your bios for the microcode version you have, maybe the 11T bios is not writing over that newer code. If you have an EVC2, rasp Pi, Arduino, CH341A programmer etc. that will take care of it by erasing and replacing bios
ES definitely works for non K OC, pretty sure an old teammate of mine (DJ) was first guy to do non K OC with Biostar. Here's a Hardware 1st place of his
Supermicro, not Biostar.
Yeah I remember now, posted this at like 2:30am on a school night lol
Anyone have a non-k bios to z170a tomahawk?
Anyone have the updated BIOS for MSI Krait Gaming Z170A from April 2016? The BIOS found in the archive somewhere in this thread doesn't have the option for Beta Runner.
