Subject: Can Kaby Lake CPU be used to flash Z170 board??

you need an older gen cpu to do the flash. I'm in the same boat as I just got an H170M Pro4 & Kaby lake i5 and unable to finish the build because ASRock needs to send me another bios chip to support it. Short of buying a cheap older gen cpu to do the flash (expensive and shouldn't be necessary) you have to wait for the RMA department to help. GOod luck with that as I've waiting over a week and barely gotten 1 message from them asking for my order invoice. About ready to return this piece of junk and order a board from a different company.
