Overclocking on Skylake?

[Rodier]

HI
how to overclock CPU on Skylake?
I dont have any mobo that support OC on these cpu.
Its a shame to put 6700k into PC and not OCit :(
Z170 Mortoni, Mortoni Plus or DFL Tune = no OC in bios.

btw what is difference between Mortoni and Mortonis Plus?

You can overclock any K series Intel processor in the game. The Mortoni and DFL motherboards do not support overclocking. Use a better motherboard.

[Rodier]

There is no better motherboard in game for Skylake.
That is what I am reporting.

please stop spaming this forum with useless answers. Its 3rdc topic where you replied useless stuff.

You can use Kaby Lake Motherboards with Sky Lake Cpus.

There is no "Skylake motherboards" Literally this does not exist, even in real life. This is a fact, not "Useless posts". You do not seem to understand so I'm trying to educate you about this.

Both Z170 and Z270 motherboards support both Skylake, and Kaby Lake chips. Neither platform is "Skylake only", such a thing does not exist.

And your first post you mentioned Mortoni Plus, and DFL motherboards. In PCBS these motherboards do not support overclocking, this is also a fact. You can overclock Skylake CPU's in this game on either Z170 or Z270 motherboards, but you need to use a different motherboard other than Mortoni Plus or DFL.

And now that I have my gaming computer booted for the day, I can open PCBS and respond to your comment on "There is no better motherboard in game for Skylake":

These motherboards are in the game currently and they can all overclock Skylake Processors:
MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon
Gigabyte GA-Z270X-Gaming 9
EVGA Z270 FTW K
EVGA Z270 Classified K

And the motherboards that can -NOT- overclock Skylake:
DFL Z170 4TUNE X
Mortoni Z170 Mtech plus
Mortoni Z170 Mtech

So yes, there are "Better" motherboards for Skylake in this game.

this is game and not real life. Kaby Lake and sky lake cant be mixed!
also overclocking is completely wrong. I dont like Ryzen but there are Ryzen cpus that have unlocked multiplier in real life..but in game not. WTF

I guess you're living under a rock then, all Z170 and Z270 motherboards can actually interchange Kaby Lake and Skylake processors. It is an officially supported configuration by Intel.

We already explained this to you in a previous thread, repeatedly. Some how you seem to still not understand FACTS.

Seems you won't trust IRT, no matter what they say, so maybe if you look this up yourself you will see that they're not lying to you about this. The game is accurate.

Skylake CPU's have the chipset socket overlap of LGA 1151 and LGA 2066 with Kabylake CPU's.

If you look at the 6700k and the 7700k they both use the socket FCLGA 1151. They're both 37.5 mm by 37.5 mm in dimension. So any Z270 motherboard with LGA 1151 socket would accept either of these CPU's.

If you don't trust my answer, the best I can do is give you these two links. Both are from intel's database about the CPU's that THEY MAKE. Hopefully that helps you with learning about this matter.

https://ark.intel.com/products/88195/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_20-GHz


https://ark.intel.com/products/97129/Intel-Core-i7-7700K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_50-GHz

And here is an MSI Z270 gaming M7 motherboard information page.
It says "Supports 7th / 6th Gen Intel® Core™ / Pentium® / Celeron® processors for LGA 1151 socket". 6700K is the 6th Gen and 7700k is the 7th gen.

Thanks for trying to back me up.. it's not much else to explain. I mean, if you still don't understand Rodiercz, then just go to google and type in: Z170 motherboard

Just like that. Find any random Z170 motherboard, click on it's product information page on whom ever's website that made it, gigabyte, msi, asus, etc, and then goto the supported CPU page and see both the skylake and kaby lake processors listed. All Z170 motherboards will show you this.

Then do the same for any random Z270 motherboard, and yet again, all Z270 motherboard's supported CPU lists will show you both 6'th generation and 7'th generation processors listed.

I mean, this isn't difficult to see it yourself.

Yeah you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid. Link me a Z170 board which supports 7th gen i7's.

Bahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Oh, this thread is epic. I needed a good laugh too.

For those of you that have no clue what you're talking about, IRT is correct. Go Google 'Intel Tic Toc' and educate yourselves a little.

Actually there is a difference, not that it matters in the game anyway, but with the z270 chipsets there are some features that the 6th gen processors, can take advantage of and also with the 7th gen processor in a z170 chipset, you kinda "choking" the processor, due to 7th gen processor is able to take advantage of some features, which is not included in the z170 chipset.

Personally I think there should be some z170 motherboards from vendors in the game, so you can OC with the z170 chipsets like IRL.

There already are Z170 motherboards in-game that can overclock 7000 series K Processors.

[ToTh3]

Which one? I haven't seen it.
Mortoni and DFL can't OC.

Of course they can't. No Mortoni or DFL can ever OC anything. There are many other Z170 motherboards from other vendors in game. Go look in free build.
