Over the last couple of months, motherboard manufacturers have managed to tweak their BIOS updates in order to enable overclocking on Intel's non-K series Skylake chips. Obviously, this was never officially supported by Intel and now rumour has it that the chip maker may be moving to block BCLK overclocking on non-K Skylake processors going forward.
While many have had positive results using the BCLK method to overclock their non-K processors but Intel is apparently worried about a series of negative effects that could occur over time, like temperature detection failures of even instruction set failure.
According to a report from the Chinese site, Benchlife, Intel is preparing to release a new BIOS update that will stop motherboards from being able to overclock Intel's non-K processors. Evidence of this has apparently been found in the code for a recent BIOS update, which was rushed out in order to squash a bug with Prime95.
There is no word on when this new BIOS update will be released and officially, we don't know for sure that it will be, so take this information with a pinch of salt.
KitGuru Says: It was big news when motherboards began enabling BCLK overclocking on non-K Skylake chips and some people managed to get some decent results out of it. However, Intel hasn't officially supported it and it could end up being clamped down on in the future according to this rumour.
intel worried about negative effects to their bottom line.
Not surprising at all that Intel would stop users from getting more value out of their CPUs. Typical Intel.
Don’t really see the issue with this. Buy the k version for overclocking like everyone else does. It’s better that way anyway.

Phew was planning on getting the Xeon E3 1230 V5 and OCing. Guess not anymore
They should the 100mhz or so that the best chips would get is barley worth the trouble
PC market is like a popcorn fart to them. The PC market is the dag on the sheeps rectum and here we are thinking we can swing back and forth and occasionally hit the lamp in the eye? As if this makes a difference to the animal. Ha!
ah its not about that … ofc i would rather get i5 6600k over i5 6500 like price defrents is just 30€ but oc lets say i3 6100 oc to 4,5 ghz which makes that cpu really good deal ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXZWLz7enm8 ), i really hope AMD Zen will make big slap to Intel and make them fall on greedy ass
People are already waiting to jump to AMD with the release of Zen chip, if AMD will allow something similar to OC non K versions it will sway the market in AMD favor.
