Which motherboard for i5 6500?

Hey y’all,

was wondering which motherboard could hold overclocking but not cost like seventeen times as much as other stuff, I’ve been lookin at the Gigabyte GA B250M DS3H Micro ATX for awhile.

Try to hunt an ASRock motherboard that support bclk overclock. My 6500 is currently overclocked too.

yeah my asrock Z170 Gaming K4 did bclk oc prior to a certain bios update. I oc'd a 6400 to 4.7ghz on it . Still have cpu and board, but had updated the bios at some point for my 6700k and I don't think I can go back. Either way I didn't save the bios so not sure where I'd get it now.

That's crazy dude. How long did you have it working OC'd that high??

Month or so; air cooled with Hyper 212.

ran pretty cool. When u oc' via bclk you lose AVX so temps really aren't bad etc..... I just used it for CSGO and it was good. . Wish I had another board to put that cpu in.
