Automatic overclocking for ASUS H170 Pro gaming?
Automatic overclocking for ASUS H170 Pro gaming?
Sure, I can help with that. Let me walk you through it step by step.
I have an i7 6700k but the motherboard doesn't support overclocking. I was surprised to learn a pro gaming board can't be overclocked either. The term "pro gaming" is just marketing language to push sales. The ASRock Z170 K4 is a solid Z170 board available for around $229 (in Australia), so it might be cheaper elsewhere. If your BIOS has an option, check for an OC tweaker or tuning tool.
i don't believe you can overclock on a h170 motherboard, i'm certain about that for earlier models. however, for skylake and non-k overclocking, it's not a guarantee. the safest option is to purchase a z170 motherboard with a k series chip for optimal performance.
