Turn a Xeon E3 1230v5 into an i7 6700K!

8 years ago

- The Non-K Skylake overclocking fiasco has been around for quite a while, and I've covered the topic in detail via a few videos on the channel. However, in the case of E3v5 Xeons, the potential to overclock has been overshadowed by the fact that these chips are subjected to C232/C236 chipsets (which naturally don't allow BCLK OC'ing). Needless to say, ASRock has come to the rescue with their Fatal1ty E3v5 Gaming/OC C232 Motherboard! See the link below.

DISCLAIMER: There are noteworthy differences between the Core i7 6700K and the Xeon E3 1230v5, including but not limited to no HD Graphics on the Xeon's side, and no ECC memory support on the i7's side. Please investigate these differences in detail before deciding between these two alike CPUs.
