Skylake BCLK Overclocking.

[Everon]

Hi guys,

Just wanted to post info about the overclocking of Skylake non K processors that seems to be floating around the net at the moment for anyone interested. Could be interesting especially for those buying on a tight budget who could buy an I3 and overclock it a fair margin to keep up with the K variants. Many of the motherboard manufacturers are now offering BIOS updates to allow this OC. I'll post a few links for info if anyone is interested or wants to start a discussion..

And a video showing Crysis 3: Core i3 6100 4.4GHz BCLK Overclock: Stock vs OC vs i7 6700K

Seems no one was interested in being able to overclock non K Skylake processors but for those that are here is an update from Digital Foundry:

I need to buy a SKylake I3 and see if I can beat my record but just using BCLK - this excites me
