N150 can it clock. what cpu should I get.

[P4Clock]

Ordering an i5 for my itx system Monday but I don't know what to get. Motherboard is in sig it's an N150 chip set so I don't know if it can overclocker to any degree so I dont know if the extra cost of a K chip is worth spending.

I have not booted the board so don't know if it can clock.

Edit: chip set is B150

Overclocking is back to only being on Z170 now.

No point getting a K chip then.
so the best option would be 6500?

I wouldn't say that as the 6600k is 600mhz faster. Depends if that 600mhz is worth the extra £25 to you. The k series will probably be easier to sell on in the future too.

300MHz

Also you lose a few features in exchange. http://ark.intel.com/compare/88184,88191

My mistake. I went by OCUK's product listing which they list the 6600k's boost speed and the 6500's non-boost speed in the product titles.

yeah catches loads of people out, be kinda nice if they fixed the listings to be consistent

Yer 300Mhz is nothing.

Yer 300Mhz is nothing.

So is £25, but it is £25 you will get back from the cpu if you were to sell in the future, K's hold their value much better.

In that time you have 300Mhz of something rather than nothing.
