Overclocking non k cpu's
Overclocking non k cpu's
I'm planning to buy the I5 6500 with a z170 motherboard, but is it still possible to overclock non k cpu's after summer 2016? I heard from many people that it's still possible and that it's not possble. Please help me and please give me real proof that it's possible or not possible.
it's possible but it's not recommended since it could damage your chip. That's just incorrect. Blink OCing might be feasible on some boards with specific BIOS updates, whether you can go back to an older revision and update the microcode is uncertain. In my view, it's not worth the trouble—spend the extra 30 and get a K processor instead.
It's possible, but it's not good because it will burn your chip.

Some MB vendors allow the overclock of non-K processors with engineering tricks (for example to overlock Xeon processors), but is something that Intel try to avoid, need specific MBs, bios without updates, etc.
If you want overclock (specially with a low budget processor), avoid probelms and purchase a K processor for just a bunch more of bucks.

Running a non-K Skylake processor isn't advised and can make it difficult to achieve a stable system. This happens because you're relying on the system's base clock instead of using a frequency multiplier that's compatible with non-K. Any changes to the base clock will impact all other components.
When using a non-K Skylake processor, it's not advised and finding a stable system is difficult. This happens because you're relying on the system base clock instead of utilizing the frequency multiplier, which is fixed for non-K. Any changes to the base clock will impact other components. It's better to avoid Skylake as it's separate from the clock.
