Yes

Of course. The socket type on k-skew CPUs is no different from their non-k counterparts, and the socket type is what determines mobo compatibility.

You just can not overclock them.

Any mobo with a compatable socket will work with its respective CPU, but a K series CPU can only overclock with an overclocking chipset. Everything else will work fine.

Actually there are a couple of boards that can oc non k CPUs. Asus and asrock if i remember correctly

it's the chipset actually - LGA771 mod to LGA775 ??

the socket is occasionally there to prevent sad people from trying, but that doesn't stop people like this:

 

 

 

 

And yes non-K CPUs are compatible with P and Z chipsets like the rest of the family

I believe it's still possible with some z boards and a non k of bios

yeah but you have to load a custom bios to it

they dont come with it anymore because intel told them to stop

so as long as you're ok with modding your BIOS and potentially bricking your board, then sure

You can just download an old build, not really "modding"

only if there is one available for your motherboard

if there isnt you have to mod it yourself rather than just using someone's mediafire download or whatever which is pretty risky IMO

Yeah, I meant assuming it was possible before Intel shut it down

The board I used for my brother's 6500 OC still has some overclocking BIOS versions up on its site
