Overclocking on h170 a non K i5

[Todor_2]

Hey there i saw an article http://www.tomshardware.com/news/overclocking-with-non-z170-chipsets,30962.html in which "to give them overclocking features permanently disable Hyper-Threading and C-states regardless if you are actually OC" which i don't care actually because i'm using a i5 6600 (non K). And my question is can i find some hacked, custom bios which will enable me to OC my i5 6600 on a h170 pro4s asrock mobo. I've read that such bioses exist but i can't find anything for my mobo. And please no comments such as just buy a z170 mobo or sell yours. No smart ass advises like that or explanations how there are cheap z170 mobos out there! If i could afford one ATM i would buy one, but fuck it i'm willing to risk bricking the mobo i have because it has 3yr warranty.

Warranty's only cover manufacturer defects. Bricking the board due to a bad flash with a modded BIOS will not be covered under the warranty.

Now that has been said BIOS modding has for the most part gone by the wayside due to the readily available hardware that can hand most scenarios, like overclocking. To mod the BIOS for a particular board you must firs be familiar with how they were coded and a firm understanding of how to write them. Those that have this knowledge are usually employed in the field and have signed contracts preventing them from doing such things.

At one time BIOS modding was the only way to unlock the potential to overclock but now it is unneeded. BIOS are not a one size fits all, most or even some motherboards. BIOS are written for that one particular motherboard model and it will not work with another. This makes what you want extremely difficult to find and many time they are never modded.

Even if you were to buy a "Z"170 board the OC potential is extremely limited because upping the base clock on Intel CPU's can make other parts of the board unstable. I referring to as little as 3 MHz over the standard 100 MHz can cause instability. This is why they have the "K" series CPU's and the "Z" series motherboards.

Alternatively the "H" series motherboards don't have the necessary voltage regulation to handle even medium overclocks.

Well the original Skylake BCLK overclock was done on a SuperMicro H170 M/B:

Well, that board was designed to be able to overclock....

EDIT: The boards that can OC the non "k" CPU's like the H series have a "Modified Chipset" in them and not a BIOS mod.
