GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

[dreamcat4]

I have z170 Gaming 7 with oem wins 10 and I didn't lose my license? So there goes that theory down the drain.

Sure. I mean if you tested the thunderbolt is working now for you? Then we can dismiss that idea.

Could put bios for GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0)?
IO Apic unlock and MSR E2

I just wanted to say that F5g bios for the Z170-hd3p is AMAZING...

In both F6 as well as F7b, killer e2400 LAN card comes back after suspend/resume even though it's disabled in the BIOS.

I have Z170 Gaming7

Presumably you are talking about the BCLK overcling right? BTW there was released the next day a slightly newer revision of that on Page 1 here --> F5h http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte...tml#post267527

Quick question for Z170X - Gaming-7 Board. Latest BIOS released is F6, I'm currently running the F6f Beta, which allowed XMP to work correctly with my RAM. Does the F6 release also have the added XMP compatibility that F6f had?

Is there release notes for BIOS versions somewhere? I've been trying to locate them, but can't seem to.

Thanks.
