I did it ! I instal an older windows 10 and it work not big difference but it seems pretty nice , if I had i5 6400 I could make a beast out of that https://s1.postimg.org/8n4jllhc2n/Untitled.png

It is possible but for that, you will be needing a good motherboard along with a decent cooler. You can overclock non-K series CPU with the help of good, stable memory.

My core i5 7400 is overclockable however intel set a limit to it by 3.5ghz.
Confuzie becareful of how far you push the oc on non k versions, for some reason if they are too high clocked.
They will get unstable I had to learn that lesson the hard way twice last year and at xmas but still a good speed boost.

Had a Asrock hyper H170 that did overclock non K CPUs. That was fun.
