Posted December 19, 2015 How much does the motherboard affect the overclocks you can get on skylake? Just wondering if it was worth spending abit extra to go skylakeinstead of haswell.

Posted December 19, 2015 Are you referring to getting a K-series processor or using the Skylake trick to allow overclocks on any processor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 19, 2015 better mobos will have better power delivery but it will only help so much, no need to go all out and depending on your budget skylake is only about 5-10% better performance wise but if its worth the money for you then definitely go with the newer platform CPU: i5 6600k @ 4.6 ghz Motherboard: Asus z170-a Cooling: Corsair h80i GT GPU: EVGA GTX 970 Ram: G.Skill 2x8 gb ddr4 2400 PSU: EVGA G2 Supernova 550w Case: Corsair 200r Storage: 250GB 850 EVO + 2x wd 1 tb drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 19, 2015 Author Getting a K series processor and overclocking, I read that the voltage regulation was moved back to the motherboard for Skylake so the motherboard would have a much bigger impact on the overclock you could achieve. Just wondered if it was true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
