Does anyone know the identity of the DIP8 IC used to store the BIOS on the Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard?
It's Coffee Time (gonna try and mod the BIOS and install a 9700KF)!
Edit: To answer my own question, in case it helps someone else, it seems to be a Winbond W25Q128FVIQ

Hello @THX1139
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Based on the CPU QVL for the Z170 PRO GAMING motherboard, the i7-9700KF CPU is not listed as supported.
If you require support for this specific CPU model, we recommend considering an upgrade or switching to a different motherboard model that offers the corresponding compatibility.
We do not advise attempting to replace or reprogram the BIOS IC yourself, as this may compromise the product’s design specifications, stability, or safety.
Thank you.
