s regarding Non-K Skylake and MSI/Asrock boards
Hey there.
I’ve got two quick questions about the i5-6500. First, I understand that Intel has removed support for certain motherboard makers, which lets users overclock their systems (MSI and Asrock are examples). But can I bypass this by downgrading or reverting the BIOS to an older version? Does this work for all boards in that brand, or only specific models like the MSI B150 Gaming 3, B150M Mortar, and B150M Bazooka? Second, I’m not very familiar with Intel products, but I’m curious if I can keep Turbo boost running continuously. It’s not a huge performance gain on a 6500, but I’m worried it might not last long—especially if I try this with a non-K series. I imagine most people think it’s okay for 1080p and adding an RX 480 later, but I want to be sure before I proceed. Thanks in advance for any help.
Theres no need to run turbo boost 24/7. It kicks in when you are working on intensive tasks. Such as gaming or anything that uses more than 30ish percent of cpu. And since it is a 6500 and not a 6500k, there is no way to overclock it except for a blck overclock. But blck overclock is alot more unstable and harder to manage with less performance gain.
Non K processors are no able to overclock because they have locked multiplier which is necessary for overclocking. The multiplier is locked on the chip itself so no motherboard will be able to overclock it
