Hi, Not sure. but... check for a 8 pin chip with Winbond on it.
Something like https://asset.msi.com/global/picture/image/feature/mb/RWD_Img/Z170/Xpower/oc-essentials-multibios-2.jpg
Probably the one above the JSPI1 connector.

@alexoiu : thanks for quick reply. btw is this chip programmable with an usb spi programmer???? then i'm thinking of buying one.

You're welcome. I've never used one, so can't answer it.
With most programmers you'd have to desolder the chip...

Try taking a good res picture of the bottom right corner of the board and posting it here.

I cant find good enough photo of this board to locate bios chip, but msi uses now soldered ones, so if you cant find winbond chip then try looking for one starting with mx or with MX logo.
