Hello guys
I have an I5 6400 currently at 4.2MHz 1.34V. I've found a modded bios on the net and so far it all worked just fine for my expectations. I just have few questions that might resolve a couple of doubts am having lately. Since 4 years ago i still had CPUs for the old 775 socket and i wasnt following any kind of news at all, it didn't came to my mind that intel would have made the whole k, non-k thing and i just went for most affordable brand new skylake i could find. Only then when i decided it was the time to oc a bit i found myself stuck with a bios update that didnt allow non-k oc and have already abbandoned skyoc. After some researches I've found this site where some guy has posted modded bios for z170 mobos, thing is, the bios revision for my mobo is quite old. I was wondering, does anyone know if there is some kind of updated modded bios? If not, I've tried to search around about how to manually mod a bios by myself but i could only find the needed tools and not some explanation/tutorial. Do you know if there is any? Last question. Since with my current bios doenst allow me to obtain any core temperature reading (sensors stuck at 100°C) and i only have available a temp reading named PECI, is it accurate and trustworthy as intel sais?
Thank you for your time, any advice is well received. (and sorry if my English looks bad, it could be worse 😂)
