You may not have to connect the two pads on CPU with Gigabyte 100 series, at least I know I didn't have to on Z170N-Gaming5.
So you may want to test without before doing the SKTOCC mod to the CPU

Which CPU did you use? My i3-8100, I didn't have to do any pinmod at all, but just making sure because I'm upgrading to i5-9400 P0 stepping which I read needs lots of pinmods on Gigabyte boards.

SKTOCC and other pinmods are different stories. Usage of SKTOCC is optional acording to intel, so on boards which do not check SKTOCC (apparently many Gigabyte and MSI), there is no need for pin shorting. Isolation however prevents physical damage if RSVD pins have been incorrectly wired and coffee lake package is used. The latter is not the case with many (?all?) i3-8000 as they only use skylake voltage pinout. but i5 and higher carry the full risk and while many Asus do not require any and most Asrock and MSI only limited isolation, at least some Gigabyte need extensive work to prevent VRM blowing (according to svarmod, didn't frag 'em myself)

@GnatGoSplat - Yes, I did all other pad mods per the Image for Gigabyte (lots on diagonal, I think 16x) and then all those 6+1 on left other side.
Only did not require the SKTOCC 2pin short on CPU itself, I used i3-9100F (U0 - SRF6N) on Gigabyte Z170N-Gaming 5. For your CPU i5-9400, same as U0, you need to do all the CPU pad isolation with tape as per the image for your GA-B150

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!
If you appreciate my efforts and are willing to donate to help improve my hardware, gift cards work for me (Amazn, NuEgg, eBa) - send me a PM

just bought 9100f for my b250m and... U0 stepping :C

i really dont found a guide step by step on how to isolate/shorten the pins of the processor, is risky ? or should i return the processor for B0 stepping ?

Just wanted to say thank you for the guide and for figuring out how shady Intel was with this sh!tty move of them.

This is a breeze for MSI motherboards. Was able to scavenge an i7-9700k, took me maybe 10 minutes, flashed via UEFI M-Flash option, no faults whatsoever, put it on my MSI Z270M Mortar, profit!

-edit-
progress has been made apparently i updated the files wrong.
now i am stuck on "error 4001: fv size too small
the required FV image size 0x3b1008 exceeds the set FV image size 0x3b0000"
when it tries to rebuild the image after the acpi table fix.

using msi b250m bios

not trying to complain or rush anybody or anything, just reporting my findings
