can a motherboard z270 overclock an skylake 6600 non-k?

[Masochist]

Hi, I'm looking for information about if you can overclock a non-k skylake cpu on a z270 board. I plan to upgrade my pc to the new z270 platform for future extensions, and a friend sell me a cheap i5 6600 non-k. Can you overclock this CPU as it was on the z170 boards?
Sorry for my horrible english

Why would you want to put undue stress and unnecessary stress on a new motherboard and the components?

Tell your friend to keep the Non K 6600 and get a new 6600K or 6700K.

Would depend on the board. And most likely won't work anyway. Intel locked down the ability to do that from most of the z170 boards by now. I figure the z270 chipset probably came with a way to make it impossible.

As for whatever the post above me is talking about i have no idea.

Was talking about OCing the old way.... BCLK...

Back before things got easy like it is these days we had to use the BCLK to overclock and it did put a lot of stress on the motherboards and all of the components attached it to. So various issues happened over time and it did shorten the lifespan somewhat. But back then a lot of us used to build a new machine every year to 1 1/2 years anyway because everything was moving so fast.

Bclk today is no tougher than any other oc. If goofed around with 200 Bclk 24 multi ocs on several of the builds I've made for others left a couple that way used to the Bclk (which was the fsb back then) was tied to a lot of other parts, today it's not connected to anything else. Started with Skylake.

Yeah, much easier today than it used to be.

Still remember overclocking 386's and 486's.... LOL

Your options will still be limited. Depends on what cheap is. What if the chip dies after one month of use? Not likely but possible. Depends on how cheap cheap is and if I was willing to take a risk.

My early ocs were all amd first Intel cpu I had was a q6600, followed by my 3350p I have now. I got into building my own in 06 which was kind of the gold era for amd

I still have some of the old 486's around in a tray, that and old Pent 1's. LOL

I have a P2 350 CPU that did 500MHz back in the day, that was a big deal back then so I held on to that one.

Everything is so much more simple today than it used to be, and the MB's are SOOO Much better.

And we don't have to worry too much about cooking anything, you know that burning smell . LOL

now i have a q6600 on a x38 @3ghz stable, and play well Ark with a GTX970. my idea is to OC the i5 6600 to 4ghz max with BCLK (if its posible). i want the chipset z270 because in first time i want to buy a G4560, and in the fututre find a 7700k or 7600k of second hand. the i5 6600 of my friend cost a bit more than g4560 so its a good deal. the board i want to buy is a Asrock Fatal1ty z270 k4, in the description says: "Supports ASRock BCLK Full-range Overclocking" . is for this y ask you about the overclock of an skylake in this board, thanks.

 

[Supahos]

Are you saying you're going to buy a 4560, then the 6600, then a7700k? Or straight to the 6600? If so just get a z170 board and you can always update the BIOS and get a 7700k to work on it

 

[Masochist]

no, first i want to buy the g4560 and the mobo z270, but now my friend sell me the 6600 and change my firts idea. so why i have to buy an old generation z170 if for the same price have the z270? next gen intel cpus are in 1151 too, so better to buy a z270 than a z170, no?
