you can overclock i7 6700 (like all non-k skylake) on z170 and even with some b150/h170 from asrock, the hyper series
with asrock z170 motherboard u can oc even with latest bios, on other brands u must get an specific bios from web

i got my i7 6700 at 4,6Ghz with 1.35v or even 4,8Ghz at 1.45v, but too much voltage for my opinion on daily basis
my brother got an i3 6320 at 4,8Ghz with 1,32v .... lucky cpu

The core i7-6700 is a processor, not a graphics card. You can't overclock the non-k 6700. However, if you had a motherboard with a z170 chipset and a core i7-6700k, you could overclock. In that case 3.4 GHz would probably be pretty safe.

If you're lucky you can, but Intel has released a microcode to try to prevent it. I hear it's even being rolled out in Windows 10 updates now, but if you have an old enough BIOS version then yeah I agree, you can. An i3 is dual-core though so requires less voltage, which explains the higher OC freq.

its not lucky, it just work
asrock z170(with ASRock Hyper BCLK Engine aka external clock generator) and h170/b150 Hyper series motherboards even with new microcode in latest bios can still oc non-k skylake because they use an external clock generator
there is no microcode then can stop it ...... on bios, on win, on everything ... because cpu can do it

on other brands u must downgrade the bios and an very very very ipotetic win10 update to block non-k oc can be bypass ..... like all piece of software
