Title: Are Z170X Gaming G1, Gaming GT, Gaming 7 or UD5 TH Intel SGX ready?
Post by: triffid on April 23, 2017, 03:45:01 pm
Motherboard manufacturers added Intel Software Guard Extensions option into BIOS only recently. It is never present in the initial BIOS release. Thus it is not easy to tell whether a mobo supports it or not unless you actually own the board with latest BIOS installed. Are here any owners of Z170X Gaming G1, Gaming GT, Gaming 7 or UD5 TH? Can you check your BIOS and tell me, please? It should be under Peripherals tab.

No, even newest BIOS version F21.

Although introduced with skylake, SGX still hasn't been widely adopted.

True. However some Skylake/Z170 motherboards with SGX are here already. Namely ASRock and ASUS boards.

Did you skip the Z170 platform in favor of a Z270 chipset with SGX support?  At this point a Z270 based board is a better investment in the long run ;)

My motherboard is GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (Rev 1.0) with CPU 6700K SR2L0. FYI. I think all Gigabyte Z170X product lines didn't support enable SGX in BIOS right now.
