Hi, I'm checking if it's possible to overclock the Intel i5 6600k on the H170 chipset. I know it was designed for the Z170, but I already have my motherboard with an H170 chipset. Can I do this?
Are you certain about this? The article mentions that most Intel chipsets for the LGA1151 socket lack voltage control options and other overclocking capabilities. This is mainly due to design choices and the fact that these features aren’t needed when overclocking isn’t possible.
All the chipsets support overclocking. The claim that non-overclocking on non-z710 is a myth is incorrect. Check the BIOS for overclocking options. It’s not just a myth but more of a suggestion. Although some other boards with different chipsets can be overclocked, Z chipsets typically provide superior performance. They use higher-quality components and stricter manufacturing standards, which often result in more VRM units for better stability during overclocking. That said, certain H and B chipset boards might have the setting available, but the hardware itself may not be capable of handling it physically. Extreme caution is recommended if you attempt overclocking on an H170 board that supports it.
