Looking for a Z170 board for bclk clocking, although the 7350 will probably rule two core alot of HW boints in the 6xxx cpus so looking for a good board.

Dont get a Hero they are shit I have got 2 of them they cant clock memory for shit. Impact and Extreme are the good Asus memory clockers the Gene aint to bad either wish mine never went south I lost the Gene and had a new Hero in the cupboard and thought I will buy another now its good to have 2 boards one could be for water the other for LN2. Worst mistake buying another before testing the hero is sub standard. Asrock Z170M OC Force are good memory clockers as well. The Gigabyte Socforce LN2 was good but impossible to get.
The Key to Z170 and for Z270 is mem clock 12-12-12-28 1T @4000mhz is where its at. And its not easy to do as it sounds. Memory is a big big part of good bench times but with DDR4 it is more so.

Actually Brad you will go Good with Z170/270 you have got more patience than me it takes time to get the mem working good I expect Z270 to be more refined than Z170 A bit like Z87 and Z97

Can't find the Force, so wondering about this one ASRock Z170 OC Formula, is there bclk clocking on the Z270s at this point with modded BIOS?

The Asrock OC Formula are good memclockers Unlocked Bioses for Z270 not that I know of and I dont think there will be any. But dont count me on saying that you never know what might come from under the table. Intel pretty well stopped the manufactures from releasing Bioses that would base clock. I heard Asrock started advertising their cheaper H series chipsets could baseclock and Intel said NO you cant do that. They ordered all manufacturers to not release bioses that could Baseclock Which is understandable from Intels point people would be buying cheap CPUs and not the more expensive K series.

BIOS's still floating around for the Z170s so will drop the finger on the Asrock in a week or so.
