I have been trying to OC i7-6700k on my MSI Z170A Gaming M5 mobo. But can't see LLC settings option like Gaming M7 mobo. has as shown below.

https://gaming.msi.com/article/why-llc-is-your-friend-when-overclocking

Is there any way, like flashing M7 BIOS to M5 or some bios mod allowing LLC setting on M5?
I am having some issues getting OC stable past 4.6GHz. MSI, on above article says LLC may help getting stable OC and still they don't provide LLC option on their gaming series mobo ( below M7 series ) :mad:.

No, there's no way to do what you're asking. Should have gotten the MSI Z170A Gaming M7. You can raise your voltage a bit to get your system stable. Just be sure & check temps during load & don't shoot for the moon..

You could try looking for a modded bios, I know people do make them for certain mobos. Use at your own risk of course.

I have been looking for modded BIOS for over a month now. But I can't find any. I have posted a request on MSI forum regarding implementing LLC option in next BIOS update.I hope they will listed to the request.

Meanwhile, I would love to try if there are any modded BIOSes available .

Meanwhile even the MSI Z170A Gaming M3 got the LLC options in BIOS.
Just waiting for the M5 to get it. :(
