Is i3 Skylake Overclockable?

[Shula 7]

Please, is non-K cpu overclocking possible on a Gigabyte Z170-HD3 (rev. 1.0)? Specifically, the cpu is a Skylake 3-6100 3M 3.7 GHz.?

I believe not. But nothing is impossible IS IT?
You can check out Linuss video.

He shows you you can overclock an i3 with that special supermicro board.

Yes it is possible but only with certain BIOS's and even then it can be iffy. http://overclocking.guide/gigabyte-z170-non-k-overclocking-guide/

Yeah as others said maybe. If you get lucky you get an old board, with an old bios. If you ever need to update though you are out of luck. Just spend a bit more to get the CPU you want.
