@Coseniath: ASRock figured out how to circumvent Intel's bclk lock. The bioses come straight from ASRock.
After the removal of FSB and going to DMI, o/cing the base clock, resulted to crashes, being unstable and sometimes lower performance.
Did this change with Skylake?
Also Asrock might deliver for the moment new bioses but if Intel order them not to, they will immediately stop o/c and that means you will either have bios updates or o/cing...
It did indeed. The BCLK frequency is now separated from DMI and PCI-e, and only controls the cores and RAM linkage. The RAM multiplier can of course be changed to lower it's frequency.
As for the bioses, it's too late. The overclockable bioses (For every z170 ASRock board) are out there, and people cannot be forced to update their bios. It doesn't matter what Intel and ASRock do now.
Also, the exploit has been applied to motherboards from other companies, too. Overclockable bioses for Non-K CPU's are available for MSI, ASRock, Asus, and Gigabyte motherboards.
