Help overclocking my non k skylake

[rderubeis]

I have a i5 6500 and a asrock z170 motherboard. I got the version of the bios that lets me overclock however it does not let me change the voltage. It has something called mV which is millivolts. Does anyone know anything about this or has overclocked with this exact motherboard?

overclocking a locked cpu will not yield great results... and you are liable to damage the cpu rendering it useless.

But check out this lenghty read

Would not recommend OC'ing a non-k cpu. Intel clamped down on it and even ASrock removed their SkyOC feature to overclock non-k cpu's for fear of damaging them.

Hey BringerOfTea...nice rig 😉

I managed a stable 4.6 but brought it down to 4.5 cus of the temps not being so high on the quiet mode of corsair link 😀

you can overclock them you just need older bios which i have

I see alot of people overclocking their non k skylakes with no issues at all. It actually gives a much better performance in gaming

 

[BringerOfTea]

Show me your sources, in terms of gaming performance the risk is not worth it.

This guy ran the 6600K at stock vs oced... and it was minute... Remember that the 6500 already boost to 3,6 ghz

Upgrade your gpu to see real improvement

I never said you couldn't, just that I would not recommend it.

Err on the side of caution, can you afford to just replace your CPU or mobo if you damage either?

the games i play are cpu based. I already have a good gpu i have a gtx 1060 which is great for 1080p gaming. But theres alot of benchmark videos on youtube showing that the overclocked skylake i5 6500 gives = performance to the 6600k that,s also overclocked. in gaming. What is the risk you are talking about, because all the youtubers that show how to do the overclock have had no issues.

what can hurt by overclocking it? As long as i dont go over 1.35 volts

^ nothing if you know what you're doing.
Intel put pressure on the motherboard manufacturers to remove overclocking options not because its particularly unsafe , but because it bites into sales on k series chips which they make considerably more money on.

well ya thats why im asking people on here so i dont mess anything up but my motherboard does not allow me to change the voltage. it uses something called mv i currently was able to get my cpu to 4.3 with no issues, but i want to make sure my mV is accurate

 

[madmatt30]

Then run a stress test with cpu-z & hwinfo onscreen , cross reference the core voltage under load , if you're below 1.36v & your cooling is adequate you really don't have much to worry about.

If you're dead set on doing it then the way would be changing the BCLK.
This would be set at 100.00mhz which is then multiplied to get your clock speed, obviously you cannot change the multiplier so increase the BCLK.
A ten percent bump there is a ten percent clock speed increase. I would set it 125 and see how stable/hot you are.

Make sure you have good case air flow, there will be extra stress (heat) on your VRMs.

Highly recommend you do some reading on OC guides. Here is an ASrock z170 specific one:
