Skylake non k bclk overclock - questions

nope. it would be done in the same way a desktop program can update bios, gigabyte as the @BIOS app that will update from desktop. on the next boot the new bios setting would be applied.
i use pro, and i cant turn this off. at first i could but after the last update i have NO control over updates any more
So you could disable updates in that specific software?
I have an MSI board and have their Command Centre software, I'm not sure if that can update BIOS at all?
Can't people just delete any manufacturer software that can potentially auto update the BIOS?
Windows 10 has permission to edit the BIOS just like it has over every other bit of hardware and software. You could delete Windows 10 and install Windows 7 but all that crap is coming to 7 and 8 too.
The only sure way to get around this would be to not use Windows and don't update the BIOS ever. But then you have to choose between the Skylake calculation problem or overclocking.
Windows Vista would work...

Skylake calculation problem... is this ever real. have you heard of any person having this problem ever? or did it just happen the turn up as intel started to fight the none k overclocking
mmmm....Here is a clue i have a none k overclocked and i used prime and no problem.... let me guess it only asfects some cpus.... but intel want to fix them all just incase.....
nothing wrong with XP baby
you should note OcUK still selling the bundle so there no too bothered about what may or may not happen, ever thought we are all just over thinking it.
Also hahah i would love to see you role up and say that at a lan. you would go a long way

indeed
intel's update changes the processor's microcode—programmable code embedded in the processor that gets updated both by system firmware and operating systems—to, in some unspecified way, prevent altering the base clock in ways Intel does not want. While it will take some time for motherboard vendors to update their firmwares and actually propagate the new microcode to end-user systems, it means that the end is nigh for simple overclocking of Skylake processors. Some holdouts may stick with old, overclocking-capable firmware, but it will become increasingly hard to buy new motherboards that support the old capability.
so this sould to me like your your already overclocking yu should be fine. the new code will be sent with new boards?

I was a complete noob to PC's, Overclocking and CPU's a couple of months ago. With all this debate I have learnt loads LOL.
My question is if the worst case scenario is true and WIN10 forces an update disabling my BCLK OC and my i5 6400 reverts back to 2.7ghz I will be pretty disappointed but I'm assuming a 6600K would give me very similar performance?
The price difference is £50 6400 - 6600K. Having purchased a complete setup very recently should OCUK help or give a very good deal to customers that have purchased bundles based on some very strong claims?
That said confidence in the on-going ability of this bundle must be high as OCUK are still selling it.

The only time I think I've ever seen firmware/BIOS updates delivered via Windows Update is for pre-built machines/laptops/tablets, and even then that's fairly rare as they're usually done via a manufacturer-specific updates application.
if you got it within the last 14 days i would be sending it back buddy for a refund. when i ran my 6400 at stock speed its not good for gaming
Could you let me know what basic settings you've got in your BIOS? Also what board, RAM and CPU cooler are you using?
I've got mine to 4.3Ghz at the moment, but last time I tried getting it to 4.5Ghz I had to reinstall the OS.
