Big lol on this

This is true ON ANY OVERCLOKING not just non k cpus
What Intel really means is that they want money from you to be able to do this

I had as asrock z97 board that could over clock non k Ivybridge cpus, its still running nearly 10 years later, no issues and will only be retired because Ivybridge is now not able to compete with modern cpus

Don't listen to this rubbish, yeah it's true, but this entire site and community is built on that risk and they told us that years ago and then sold you a warranty incase you blew it on your officially approved overclocking cpu.

Don't download the latest firmware. Problem solved. Get a newer board? Flash to an older bios. It'll work on some boards.

All fun and games until you realise that memory support on the older firmwares is crap and even on the latest firmwares memory support can be a bit iffy.

All depends. Depends on what bus clocking will do to the controllers on the CPU.

As we know from Sandy and so on it was bad. Really bad.

Only time will tell on that I guess.
