Non-k overclocking

[Hojoh]

Hello everyone.

I am planning to buy a pc and it will probably be an intel side.

After that fiasco with bios updates astock released their b150 gaming sth. and h170 performance sth.  HYPER. Allow for non-k overclocking. 

But then i went to asus and msi sites and they have their own technology on z170 motherboards that allows base clock to be changed. I do not know if their technologu allows for non-k overclock. 

If anyone owns some of this boards feel free to comment and leave some useful information.

 

This will be useful to me because i will be using only integrates graphics and faster ram means more performance. 

 

Asrocks motherboards that i mentioned support some memory (samsung and kingston) overclocking nlbut i do not know if i woll be able to find that specific one.

I OCed my i5 on a Z170-Hd3P from Gigabyte. Just get the F5g BIOS and OC away. Just DONT OC ON A STOCK COOLER.

Maybe I am just to n00b, or maybe I am just to red... But dafuq has CPU overclocking mobo specs, to do with with ram... You should be able to overclock ram, independant of your CPU overclock, right?

1. For now you can OC a non K cpu on ASRock H170 Hyper, don't know about other brand though

2. With every Z170 board you can OC its base clock, this also rise the memory clock as well, but you need to flash the BIOS that allows it, google for more info

3. Like @DeezNoNos said, don't OC on stock cooler, get a good aftermarket cooler

I do not want to update bios cus i will lose warranty.  

One more thing is that the temperatures are probably visible (check out science studio on youtube,  he overclocked xeon). 

My point is that i saw base clock modifications on asus and msi sites with out of the box mothrerboards,  just like asrock. 

And about the ram overclocking.  I am not an expert and i do not know if you can use xmp on b150 and h170 motherboards.

Pretty sure bios updates does not void your warranty. As far as I know only Hyper series allow this.
