“In December 2015 I already published an overclocking guide for Intel Skylake non-K overclocking, using MSI mainboards.

Regards the reasoning for the updated guide, the German World No.2 has this to say: Der8auer lays it all out for you in his updated guide which has been specifically crafted to address MSI motherboards. Non-K SKU overclocking may look like a very attractive prospect for entry-level overclockers who want to rock it like it’s 2003 and get the additional free performance out of Intel’s more affordable Core i5, i3 and even Pentium class processors, but in truth there are plenty of factors to consider. Our buddy der8auer has been generous enough to update his guide for overclocking this specific platform with a comprehensive and exhaustive guide that includes everything from the basics to the actual BIOSes you will need. If you are looking to get down to some serious MSI Z170-based Non-K Overclocking, and you feel you could possibly benefit from some advice and general information, look no further my friend.
