Can the i5 6402p be Over clocked?

Hank_5 · Jul 19, 2016

Hi just wanted to know how long this processor will last before I buy a new one (I think non K skylakes can be OC'ed?). And from what I've read OverClocking in the future (if needed) can boost performance for future games.

Just k-cpus are meant to be overclocked
This CPU won't get you a performance boost if "overclocked" because of a locked multiplier.

No one can tell how long a cpu will last. 5 years max. I think.

Thanks,

I know that non "k" models aren't meant to be overclocked but in this article:
http://overclocking.guide/updated-msi-z170-non-k-overclocking-guide-new-bios/

It says non "k" skylake can be overclocked, but it seems it also depends on the mobo.
I'm not to well knowledgeable on OC'ing or anything but would be nice to know that I can do it in the future with this cpu.

Since February new bios updates are on the loop which prevents oc over bclk.
The new CPUs aren't supported from the motherboard's without this update. You could try, but it's very unlikely that it works with an older bios

I see, is there a list somewhere on which mobos let non k skylakes oc?

Yes, on the site overclocking.guide, where the bios versions are downloadable. There is a list of available bios versions which can oc over bclk a non-k cpu
