Hi guys,
after checking many forums and seeing i5-6400 reach stable overclocks of 4.0Ghz+, I'm curious if it's a good idea.
My current setup is:
Processor: i5-6400 @ stock.
Cooler: Cooler Master 212 Evo.
Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC H110M-R.
GPU: GTX 1060 (6gb).
RAM: 8GB @ 2400Mhz.

The Z170 chipset is required to activate non-K OC in older BIOS versions. Except for certain Asrock models that support Hyper OC or Sky OC, this applies.
