It's in my friend's hand.He is near me and could be invited to explain all the questions of moding 100 for E3v5.

If that is no a problem it would be great.

I would find someone moding your z170a-x1/3.1 。

Version of ME has to be 11.x.xx.xxxx right? I try a newer bios that has ME 11.6.0.1126 and it work with Celeron and Reversed set to YES, but not with Xeo, turns on fans spin for 1 sec and them turn off.

I wonder if MEBx or MEI are relevant.

I am asking a favor from Dsanke,the original master of moding 100 bios for E3v5. He is also in this forum,and is original master of moding 100 bios for Coffeelake.

OK! Thank you very much.

@htpcfans It's working! @Lost_N_BIOS made a BIOS with ME 11.0.0.1191 check here. Thank you for your support too.

But not all motherboards support it, such as Gigabyte. Disable ME motherboard not work!

The microCode of E3v5 is same as Skylake and you can update the ver of 506e3 to C2 (2017-11-16).506e1 and 506e0 is for ES CPU,suc as 6400t and QHJE 2.6G E3v5. I know anout OC a little. In TieBa of China,someone said OC is normal ,but the speed of Cache is lower,the integrated VGA will lose the function.

Finally you buy a Z170 in 2018 ? Please do not take it too hard!

Really GA-X150M-PRO ECC officially supports Xeon E3 V5 and V6 also!! We can use ME region and microcode.

One person in the Russian YouTube segment launched E3-1235L V5 on the motherboard gigabyte. He just flashed the BIOS from the GA-X150M PRO ECC into his GA-B150M-D3H.
What do you think, if I also flash the BIOS from the GA-X150-PLUS WS to my ga-z170-hd3 ddr3, and then, FPT will replace the BIOS region, can I overclock the xeon E3V5?

I had a feeling using C232/6 bios elements might do the trick. Once my soic8 clip comes i'll have a look at this variation of the mod.

Meanwhile, i can confirm kaby engineering sample (ES) xeons are compatible with the mod too, i'm typing from mine now:

[OFFER] MSI B150A Gaming Pro Xeon Bios Mod

However, my Asus board didn't like it:

QL32 Kaby Lake Xeon Engineering Sample on Asus Prime Z270-AR - Works but Can't Restart

Is it possible to use Xeon E3 v5 without disabling ME? I don't like this idea since MB would start very slowly. Maybe I can simply use some appropriate version of ME firmware?

What board are you using? Not all of them start slowly. It may be possible by changing SKU or porting the ME region from another board, but I don't think anyone has tried it yet. I might try with my MSI soon.
