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" rel="nofollow - 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. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

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. |
