Overclock Skylake i3 6100
Overclock Skylake i3 6100
So I am quite late in getting a Skylake CPU and I wondered if it would be at all possible to overclock it given the right motherboard. I then read that Intel was stopping this. Any info as to this now would be great as I don't know if I should spend extra money on a Z170 mobo.
Thanks in advance
Asrock offers a few motherboards that allow overclocking the locked Skylake CPU without requiring a special BIOS.

Thank you for the info. It seems they might be able to overclock them in the same way as before.

Thank you very much. It seems they can be overclocked similarly to before (if that makes sense).
Intel was not happy about this - ASRock turned off SKY OC in a BIOS update a few months ago.

These boards include an external clock generator to achieve the Bclock overclock, which Intel cannot interfere with. Refer to the link above for details.

Yep, just like the good old days, lol.
I found this link with downloads for BIOS to overclock non-K series motherboards so I was wondering if I could get a Z170 motherboard, install an older BIOS and then overclock the i3 6100.
