sorry if the guide is for a i7 6700k, but the principal should be about the same

Will i need any special BIOS to overclock the CPU since its a Skylake non K processor. Or simply following the guide do the trick?

well since i'm not an expert in BIOS, all i can suggest is for you to just follow the guide, since it came from asus themselves, should be pretty safe

Nope - cpu is clock blocked. Might be able to do some bclk overclocking - not sure.
