The purpose of doing this is for the obvious reason, to save money. I can get a used i5 6400 for 120 euro, whereas a new is 170 euro. Plus the rest (mobo, ddr4 ram), I see that is a win situation. A new i5 6600k costs around 240 euro.
I have seen some guides and everyone has great results or at least they show only the good results.
I understand that Intel does not want us to oc these cpus because they lose money and therefore they push people to buy the k versions with BIOS disabling oc, microcode updates (what is this anyway?).
I am looking for some value here as I am on budget as always. If you want to tell me the obvious and not explain your thoughts with some concrete examples and experiences or specific posts please do not reply as we are wasting both our time.
What country do you live in and what is your budget for overall for CPU, Mobo and RAM?
I urge you not to be rude, as I don't think I'd want to help someone who doesn't want to listen to advice, and doesn't know what they're talking about.
You can either let people correct you and accept it, or you can ignore it and make an uninformed decision based on your own arrogance.
I'm just trying to get you to make the best decision financially. Don't hate me for it. I explain above why overclocking non k processors is a bad idea, re read it please.
