Overclocking i5 6500 Non K on Asus Z270e

[djay]

Hi all,

I recently purchased an i7 7700k chip along with a Asus Strix Z270E Motherboard. However, I have also got my hands on a i5 6500 non k cpu that I wish to overclock in the Z270 Board if possible and compare the performance against my i7 for gaming.

I have read that it is possible to overclock these using BCLK in the Z170 Boards with a special bios but have failed to find any info on this using the Z270 boards.

I have used the i5 6500 in the board and when I raise the BCLK over 102 the system fails to post. I power it down then power up and the bios resets to defaults.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Z270 will likely not see bios updates to support non K OC so Z170 is the only way.

Ah that is a shame. Ok thanks for your help.
