Authonious · Feb 22, 2017

Hello to everyone! I just had a little question that i was asking myself,but didn't know the answer.
So i decided to ask some of you guys,who might able to help me!

So,i am planning on buying an i5 6600k,and a MB Gigabyte H110M-HD3 DDR3 LGA1151 DDR3 1600MHz,although i am not sure will i be able to overclock the CPU with this motherboard?!

For anyone that is going to participate,and for anyone that is reading this post in general,Thank you!

You will not. Overclocking is limited to only Z170/Z270 motherboards.

Ironsounds · Feb 22, 2017

Hello... Typically you need a "Z" MB for the CPU BCLK (Base Clock) feature/adjustment.

DRagor · Feb 22, 2017

You need motherboard with Z170 (or Z270) chip to able to overclock CPU. Yours has H110 chip. So the answer to your question is no.

Hey guys! And how about this one: MB Gigabyte H170M-D3H DDR3 LGA1151 DDR3 1866MHz

Z not H

dudio · Feb 22, 2017

No, as was said, you need a 'Z" board, not an 'H'

I am a beginner.... I was just asking... Thanks though

Hey! And what about the ASUS Z170-P D3? It should be good right guys?

Thanks for all the help!

Appreciate it a lot!

Ironsounds · Feb 22, 2017

Hello... you have chosen wisely... BUT this "P" model has 2 very old PCI communications slots... and was designed for "Legacy/office/Firewire/?" card use... Basically it will be dead space for you. Because of these, The MB is a full ATX size MB. Do you have a case to fit a full ATX?

It would be a better future upgrade model if you had More PCIe X1 slots there instead. B / But it will work just the same in all other features you want and hopefully in cost/availability B )

Hey man! I am in a tight budget right now tbh... And i already have a DDR3 RAM and i am not planning on changing it to DDR4,because i don't have the money... I am only a teenager from a poor country,witch escalated means i need to get a DDR3 MB to get the system running(w my budget)

Although thanks for your answer!

Appreciate it a lot!

Oh you edited the comment.... nvm i was just a little bit angry sorry... :/

Ironsounds · Feb 22, 2017

Hello... Ya it takes time for me to look at all the details... and I use my space first like a scratch pad... and seeing the "P" model letter made me take a second look as to why... never trying to offend anybody here... B D

I understand budget, price vs performance and LACK of availability for older MB's... hey I'm a builder... like I said make sure you can put a ATX size MB 12 inch x 8.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 21.8 cm ) in your case... those extra Legacy PCI slots need the extra case space.

Hey! I have decided! I am going for a i5 6600 and a http://ddstore.mk/products/GIGABYTE-MB-6th-Gen-LGA1151-H110-2-x-DDR3-1600-MHz-max.-62GB-ntg-Graph-CPU-1-PCIEX16-1-PCIEx-x1-4-x-SATA-6Gb-s-Gig-LAN-4-x-USB-3.0-6-x-USB-2.0/pid/899177#.WK3oUFUrKUm For motherboard! \

Thanks for all the participation! Appreciate it !

If you are going skylake, which you are with the 6600k you will need ddr4 ram, unless your board supports ddr3l memory, you might be better off going for a Haswell build or not overclocking (getting the 6600 non k and a standard motherboard to buffer the cost of ddr4

Ironsounds · Feb 22, 2017

Hello... do you have DDR3 RAM right now? or are you needing to buy memory too?

Authonious · Feb 22, 2017

Ironsounds :

Hey man! Yes i have DDR3 now !
My rig:

CPU: i3 2120
MB: FoxConn (A shitty one that i can't get my new RX 480 8GB to work on.. :/)
GPU: GT 630 (Old) RX 480 (New,i have a shitty MB and i cant get it working)
PSU: DeepCool DN500 500W

Ironsounds · Feb 22, 2017

Hello... I cannot verify the number of Pins on that MB, for the memory sticks... verify what is there, you have 240 pin DDr3 sticks.

Authonious · Feb 23, 2017

Ironsounds :

Yes,240 pin DDR3.

Although,i wanted to ask you one more question,if i have the i5 6600k on an non overclocable motherboard can i use it(I mean the CPU)?

Thanks again!

nerro120 · Feb 23, 2017

You can use it just fine, it doesn't make sense too use when you can just save some money and get a non k cpu if your going with a non overclocking motherboard.

Will i be able to overclock on this motherboard?
