Asrock releases motherboard BIOS updates for non-K Skylake overclocking

by on17 December 2015


Calls it Sky OC technology 

Asrock has decided to join in on the fun of non-K Skylake CPU overclocking by releasing new BIOS updates that include the so called Sky OC technology feature and allow BCLK overclocking for non-K series Skylake CPUs on Asrock Z170 Express chipset based motherboards.

While BIOS updates from other motherboard manufacturers were mostly released by in-house overclockers on overclocking forums like HWBOT.org, Asrock is actually the first motherboard manufacturer that has officially released its Z170 Express chipset motherboard BIOS updates for non-K Skylake CPU overclocking at its official website. While these are official BIOS updates from Asrock, these still have the same issues and problems seen on other motherboards with similar BIOS, including the disabled onboard IGP as well as disabled CPU Turbo Ratio and C-State, as this is a common problem when BCLK overclocking is enabled on any Skylake CPU.

ASRock has released BIOS updates for a total of 21 different motherboards and all of them can be found over at Asrock's official website. With these BIOS updates, Asrock has joined the likes of Asus, MSI and Supermicro with non-K Skylake overclocking ability and we are still missing some major players like Gigabyte and/or EVGA.
