Bios Freeze on ASROCK H170 PRO4

ASRock Xtreme Tuning Utility, AXTU

Though in retrospect I maybe should state A-Tuning, Formula Drive, or even F-Stream, motherboard dependent. The Windows util ASRock provides.

Who's all here and still yet Subscribed to this Thread?

How many are using or have implemented controlling your 3-pin fans RPM from inside the BIOS? Maybe possibly with AXTU too but for now I'm interested in hearing from the ones that have from within the BIOS.

All by chance maybe?

All you need to do is search "H170 bios freezing" in google and you will be greeted with numerous threads on multiple forums complaining about the same issue across most, if not all manufacturers. Interestingly the only mention of ASRock on my first page of search results leads to this thread. The same results can be found searching Z170, H110 and B150 bios freezing. This is obviously something to do with the new Skylake chipset and CPUs. I have little doubt that it will be corrected but these corrections need to be made by intel then passed on to board manufacturers to implement. 

And yet, IIRC, it was Intel themselves whom where the major push behind EFI design, implementation, and adoption.

Not rubbing salt into wounds here, but this BIOS(EFI) freezing currently being reported on all manufacturers boards is only relating to Skylake.

Thanks Intel, but I'll wait wait for the second iteration of Skylake, Skylake-E .

Pick the manufacturer. The seemingly all exhibit/suffer this to one extent or another.

ASRock. Or Intel.



Glad I chose to wait on Skylake-E to replace my i7. Broadwell and now these Skylake issues, IMO, the Intel community is still holding pat, and tight-lipped, in their "All bow to Intel" mentality concerning Skylake. Broadwell, that was more a iGPU update than anything else.
