I'm looking for information on BIOS updates for my i5-6600. I've checked some guides and videos, but the ones suggesting BIOS updates aren't working. My motherboard is an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming. Do anyone still have those BIOS versions available?

I'm not certain about the meaning of overclocking BIOS, but here is a link to the support site for your specific board. Ensure you have the latest BIOS update for your motherboard, no matter what overclocks you apply. Additionally, you should note that you cannot overclock the processor because the multiplier is fixed for processors without a K suffix. You might be able to overclock the RAM if it supports higher speeds than DDR4-2400MHz. Feel free to share your system's specifications in this format: CPU, Motherboard, Ram, SSD/HDD, GPU, PSU, Chassis, OS.

Hey there. Back in the days before mobile makers added sky oc support, there were ways for non-K CPUs to overclock. After that, the feature got turned off via a BIOS update. I'm wondering if anyone still has those old BIOS versions.

I'm uncertain if this will remain identical, but on my old AMD AM3 system I owned a non-black edition (locked multiplier) Phenom II 1055t with an updated ga-lmtusb3 rev.6 motherboard. I managed to overclock by enabling CPU host clock control and tweaking the CPU frequency from 200. This altered the FSB speeds, requiring me to recalibrate many other parameters to compensate for the increased base speed across lanes.
