Overclocking i5-6500

[NeoSk11zle]

So my friends rig has an i5-6500 but his cpu speed is over 4Ghz (wut), is there any way to overclock skylake non-k cpu's? Here is my build so far in case my motherboard, cooler etc. doesn't allow it http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/pLZcHN .

I think asrock motherboards has a bios update or something in which they allow you to do it, i may be wrong

[don_svetlio]

It's called BCLK OCing but it's extremely unreliable and somewhat hazardous as there have been people who has broken their CPUs by going to far and considering your PSU is quite crappy, I'd advise caution

You don't need the Z-board. I believe you're looking for a B-chipset and you'll use BCLK to overclock.

I also thought Intel told them to remove it or override it?

OK so if I want to overclock my cpu what motherboard should I get, as in like a specific motherboard.

Yea intel told them to not, but asrock said fuck that and made a bios update or something

Damned they be! Telling us what not to brick!

It's not worth - you won't gain much (10-15% at most).

I'd get a K-series and a Z-board. BCLK has implications for multiple parts of the computer.

They still have the BIOS available, and hwbot's forums has a dump of all skylake non K oc bios if I remember right.

It's not unreliable at all nor hazardous on Skylake, due to the external clock generator. BCLK on skylake no longer effects PCI lanes and sata etc, like on previous architectures. it's perfectly safe.

Hmmmmmm... u sure m8 'cause i don't want my rig to be an exploding Note 7

That user broke his i5 via BCLK - feel free to ask him

Yes, I've owned 3 non K oc chips and took them each to 4.5 + ghz with no problems, I also have extensive overclocking experience when it comes to haswell and Skylake.

Intel's RMA process is phenomenal, if you somehow manage to kill it, they will replace it as long as it's in warranty. 

 

BCLK on skylake is COMPLETELY different than older architectures, and when you use a non K OC bios, the only thing you'll need to figure out is what voltages you need to run for desired clock speeds, and how to cool the extra heat.  It's perfectly fine, and anyone that tells you differently is inexperienced in the matter.  Sometimes CPU's die regardless of how careful you are with it, due to already having something wrong with them, or another component causing it to fail, even at STOCK SETTINGS.

I hope you are correct and not being a scumbag. So I just need to get a motherboard that has a Z in it's name?

To overclock my non-k skylake cpu.

Find one that has a BCLK bios for it, Asrock is a good place to start, ASUS has a few boards that can do it too, let me see if I can find you the whole list of all the BIOS and boards that can do it.

I'm not being a scumbag, I speak from experience with my "reputation" on the line so to speak.  

I've been interviewed for an overclocking magazine in the past, and at one point I was rank #13 in the USA on the biggest overclocking website on the internet, "hwbot.org"  (Not trying to brag, just trying to get my point across)

 

I'm not just talking out my ass lol.

Here's a list of all boards + the bios downloads for non K OC:

Sorry, I wasn't trying to say that your a scumbag. I just hate people that say information without any information. You were the only one that was confident with this. Thanks. and daymmmmmmmmmmm that comapny doe
