initial SkyOC i3 6100OC thread

I thought you had to run the Core i3 on a workstation/server chipset board to unlock that feature?

I know Supermicro announced this on their Z170 motherboard, but did they announce this on more server-oriented boards?

MSI says that their boards support ECC memory on z170 but Gigabyte says theirs don't. I'm not sure about anyone else, nor what they mean by 'Support' (works with ecc on or ecc off).

EDIT: MSI says support means it will run with ecc ram in non ecc mode :(

I'm one of those dudes who like building shit to do it. Do you guys think there is a noticeable difference in either gains or loses if I replaced my 3570k with a 6100?
 
Update: I've since pulled the ATX board, and put in my ITX Asrock Z710 board. Using a stock cooler, which for the i3 is a puny little thing, I wasn't expecting much. So far I'm near my max stable oc' using the CM Hyper 212 and 2 fans. Zippy little system and I'm so far very happy with this iTX build :). Also, added a Saphire R380(SFF) card and it's behaving well too. Compared to an XFX R280X, this R380 is faster in 3DMark firestrike which surprised me, this at a lower cpu clock as well. The card does oc very well though so maybe that has something to do with the better scores. I was expecting the Tonga to suck a bit compared to the older 280X.

SkyOC has now been removed, back to buying the unlocked K processors after all: No more SkyOC

Happened to Gigabyte as well. The Skylake microcode update to fix the Prime95 crash also removed the non-K overclocking.

Board makers are obligated by Intel to release the microcode updates to ensure stable CPUs.
