using a non-k series intel i5 4690 with overclocking
can you overclock non k series intel chips? will you require a more advanced motherboard or can a midrange 150$ x97 board work?

sweet so an extra 400mhz
i am 99% sure that they removed from haswell processors but let me check again
Update:
yeah they removed it from haswell,so no limited overclocking.It's for Sandy and Ivy only.Sorry

Sorry for the ''thread revive'' but does that mean that OC'ing on non-K CPU's is not even possible by 400 Mhz?
According to the article,it's not possible to increase it even by 400Mhz,on Haswell.
is this accurate anyone know? i believed you could overclock without altering the multiplier
For a locked CPU (Non-K) the only way that I know to OC is to increase the base clock. Bclk is 100 MHz at default, but it can be increased slightly to 103 - 105 MHz, but I would not recommend it. Increasing the Bclk also OC's the RAM, the SATA bus, PCIe bus and all other items that depend on Bclk.
There is one Non-K CPU that can be OC'ed: the Pentium Anniversary Edition G3258.

is this true anyone know? I thought you could overclock just without changing the multiplier.
You can indeed overclock any processor. The main distinction lies in K series CPUs being designed for overclocking and equipped with unlocked multipliers, allowing higher performance gains. It's also worth mentioning that K series CPUs have been officially approved for overclocking and have undergone testing to confirm stability after such adjustments. In contrast, non-K series CPUs tend to be less stable when overclocked, depending on the extent of the attempt.

is this a fact? anyone has any idea? i thought you could boost the speed without changing the multiplier. You really can overclock any processor. The main point is that K series CPUs are designed for overclocking and come with unlocked multipliers, allowing higher speeds. It's also worth mentioning that K series have been officially approved for overclocking and have undergone testing to confirm stability after being pushed (to some extent), whereas non-K series CPUs tend to be less stable when overclocked, depending on the level you try. Yes, you absolutely can overclock it, but you shouldn't.

Ending this thread. You can overclock any Intel CPU (I believe support was removed for Haswell models) with a 4-bin Turbo Boost (about 0.4GHz above the boost value). Every CPU labeled as "Limited Unlocked" is restricted because it lacks a K in its name, so research thoroughly. A non-K Intel CPU with Turbo Boost can still be overclocked by 0.4GHz over the boost range. This might be useful.
