Hi guys,
sorry for myy english, i'm italian:
i have a question about my motherboard z170 extreme 4:
now i have bios version 2.40, now on the page bios download, there is newer version
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z170%20Extreme4/?cat=Download&os=BIOS

the version is 2.60.

My question is:

thanks Sleepy

You say you are using UEFI/BIOS version 2.40 now, right?

The first Sky OC UEFI/BIOS is Beta version 2.43, according to the descriptions:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z170%20Extreme4/?cat=Beta

Version 2.40 does not say it has Sky OC. Check the version you have on the Main page of the UEFI/BIOS.

I'm 99% sure UEFI/BIOS version 2.60 will have Sky OC. I don't have your board so I cannot say I am 100% sure.

If 2.60 does not have Sky OC, you can go back to version 2.43.

2.60 should have Sky OC.

It's rare to see a BIOS revision remove an item as hard as ASRock is pushing Sky OC at the moment. Had they removed it I would imagine by now there would be posts and headlines on every forum imaginable howling of its demise.
