Im asking because a friend is intight budget and he got really exited when he heard that skylake non-k cpus were OCd. But neither of us are sure wich MoBo brands have updated the BIOS to support this.

This is the exact same situation I'm in! I have a non-k skylake processor, and I have the Asus ROG VIII Hero motherboard. Does this support OCing is what I want to know.

ASrock and MSI currently supported it, ASus will be soon. Gigabyte idk.

It must be a Z170 mobo for it to work.

 

Mine is asrock z170 and cpu is i5 6500
