I'm sure you can. Stay just under 103 blk as that's when the Intel lock down on overclocking kicks in.

i'm getting 30hz on my mobo, it's supposedly 2.0 but is it possible the cpu's max is 30hz?
They definitely support 4k@60fps. The G4560 product page on Intel's site lists: 4096x2304@60Hz. What's your mobo?

managed to figure it out and I'm a bit dissapointed. I could have went with a cheaper mobo because of this but it's not a huge deal as 30hz is okay for HTPC use but I'll need to upgrade to a GPU in future.
Basically they can only do 4K @ 60hz using displayport.
4k @ 24hz using HDMI 1.4
4k @ 30hz using HDMI 2.0
so I'm getting an exta 6hz by going for this board. However I would have rather of went for a cheaper mobo and a 1050ti to do 4k by HDMi @ 60hz.
not a big deal as it's a HTPC for movies but I do watch youtube via it too which is 60fps on the better videos.

What would be the cheapest mobo I could throw one of these in please chaps?
On here the asus-prime-b250m is cheapest.

Yes, F20 bios supports kabylake CPUs.

Happy with this lil chip, baffled by it's performance. It's great in desktop and gaming. No reason at all to look at the i3's anymore. Especially with the current Kaby Lake i3 pricing.
Def the bang for buck king, all hail the king baby xD
Can I get a Haribo?
Yes as in I need to update it?
Soldato
Well it's doubtful it will have the latest bios on it so probably will need updated and you will need a skylake chip to do it.
Can't I just update from bios using USB like usual?
Or will it not boot at all?
Soldato
Chances are it will not boot. You could try and if it fails order a cheap skylake cpu from the jungle to update bios and then return it.

or just buy the right motherboard in the first place
Thinkng of getting this cpu for my htpc build. I already have dedicated gaming rig so it would become my NVidia shield alternative with main uses kodi, tv, prime and Netflix then include some steam in-game streaming on my 1080p display from the gaming rig.

Is my G3258K worth ditching in favour of the G4560?
I don't want to upgrade for the sake of it. But I've had this thing 3 years.
