I'm looking for that particular board, and if possible, with the original box. Much appreciated!

Hi, this is the first time there. Starting with that I have a Pc build with: I5 6400, Rx480 4gb, 12gb ram, Z170 Asrock Fatal1ty K4, Silentstorm Icewind 630w, SSD and HDD. I have a custom BIOS to overclock my i5 6400 to 4.3ghz using BCLK. I want to get an i5 9600k (and overclock it), I already know riskes of vrm etc..but I really want to get a 9th intel working on my z170. I saw a video thst shows how to do phisically, but i am confused, do i have to solder pins and other? How I make a custom bios to avoid cores limits of z170 and other? Please help me, really appreciate. Is this guide working? https://forum.toms hw.it/thre ads/guida-cpu-coffee-lake-su-motherboard-skylake-o-kaby-lake.694023/ Or this better? https://www.wi n-rai d.com/t3987f16-TOOL-Easy-automated-Mod-tool-for-Coffee-Lake-bios.html And is updating bios to latest version and get a i7 7700k better than i5 9600k? Sorry for bad english..

I'm looking to upgrade to a 7700K for legacy GPU benching. Mainly will be used on water, weak phase and occasionally LN2. The chip should do 5.2GHz R15 at under 1.4V on ambient (at least) with full details and screenshots. LN2 information also welcomed, looking for 6.6GHz R15 at the very least (6.7GHz preferable) - again full details and screenshots.

Hi, I am quite new to overclocking CPUs since I am a gamer and CPU was never the bottleneck. While waiting for my 1080 Strixes to arrive, I have turned to CPU OCing. I have ASUS Z170 Deluxe 6700K 32 GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400, Corsair 1200AX and Intel 2500 Pro series 480 GB SSD. I managed to get a stable OC of 4.7 GHz w/o Voltage but the submission to HWBot says this: Your system is not performing badly, but there are a few people with a Core i7 6700K running at a lower frequency and performing better. XTU - karlisn - Core i7 6700K Is there something really important I am missing that could boost my results with the same frequency? Thanks in advance and hoping to hear some good ideas
