Hello everyone, I'm just starting out on this forum and I'm wondering if my i5 6500 can be overclocked with the new Z270 chipset. I've read about people doing it on Z170 boards but am a bit unsure about Z270. Could you help clarify my question? Thanks in advance! 😀
Motherboard I use - Asrock Z270 extreme4

Intel has required ASRock to prevent overclocking on their Z270 boards when using BCLK with non-K Intel processors.
