Skylake non k processor question

[Supahos]

Has anyone actually laid hands on one and dropped it in a Z170 board? I've heard 2 or 3 people say that you can still move the bclk on the non k processors potentially allowing some oc headroom on them. I don't want to see anything quoted from tech specs or the like please only answer if you have first hand knowledge or see a place where someone else posted who did.

Why even buy a non-k processor these days? The future is coming so quick that you will need all the performance you can get out of a chip eventually..

My good ole 3350p is still chugging along just fine. And if you actually read my post you'd see why I asked that question. If you can change the bclk on a non k processor you can oc it... In a lot of cases in the old days a 2.5x bclk increase and 1.75 multi decrease would be faster than any multi only oc

You're onto some next level stuff there, bud.

The minimal gain from a marginal clock increase is normally offset in the loss of system stability.

You do realize the bclk is no longer strapped to the pci or memory. There is no reason for it to cause instability anymore with skylake. Hence my question and why I asked for someone with some knowledge not people just spouting things they know nothing about
