This was quickly followed by Asrock, who generously provided us with a Z170 Pro4S board for testing. It all kicked off when motherboard manufacturer Supermicro announced the arrival of a new BIOS for its products, allowing for overclocking on previous locked chips. However, that may change now that every Skylake chip is overclockable on select motherboards, and the results can be extraordinary. The best Skylake chips - the overclockable Core i5 6600K and Core i7 6700K - have availability issues, meaning that prices have skyrocketed. It's safe to say that we've been highly impressed with Intel's Skylake line of processors - architectural advantages along with higher memory bandwidth are producing big gains over established processors.
