Overclock skylake non-k i3s/i5s/i7s?

Go to solution Solved by ProKoN,

from what i have seen. the locked skylake chips will be limited to 250-300 bclk

 

yes you can OC them but you wont hit the same frequencies as unlocked chips

Posted

I heard you can still overclock non-k skylake chips via manipulating the Base Clock.

Is that true?

Shouldn't that still be locked?

If it is, why is it even an option on K chips when you can already use the multiplier?

 

Please and Thank You!

Also no voltage control

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Voltage control is allowed by the motherboard manufacturers.......

How much of a difference are we talking?

Difference in clock speed between the multiplier and base clock.

 

EDIT: Don't answer, consider this thread closed. Seems like more trouble than it's worth.

Facepalm. The 6500 has a 33X Multiplier. 33 X 150 = 4.95 ghz

Unless they completely changed Z170, voltage control is still allowed on locked CPU's lol.

 

The 4690 I borrowed from my cousin let me add as many volts as I wanted lol, even managed to get 6th place fastest 4690 on XTU.

I should clarify. No voltage control on non-OC chipsets

If we are talking about overclocking CPU's, why on earth should non OC chipsets be discussed at all? Lol

I should clarify. No voltage control on non-OC chipsets

eg. The Asus H87M-Pro has full voltage for all CPU, and multiplier control for those that are unlocked. Every single mainstream motherboard manufacturer has had voltage control on their motherboards since at least the socket 370 days. At least.
