Well, I've been tinkering.
I had previously built a G3900 (Yeah, Celeron) dual-core gaming rig, BCLK OCed to 4.3+Ghz, with an R7 250X 2GB DDR3 card. Not slow, but not all that impressive a gaming rig compared to other people's fire-breathing i7-6700K @ 4.7Ghz and GTX1060/1070/1080.
So, anyways, I got the i5-6400 in the mail today, and put it in. I didn't even clear CMOS (well, not right away) when I put it in. It booted OK, at around 4.1Ghz using previous BLCK settings.
I did eventually clock it too far, and it started boot-looping (uh-oh), so I had to clear CMOS to get it back in order.
So, right now, I've got it at 4.5Ghz, 167.0 BCLK, 1.400V vcore, 1.300V vDRAM. (Unsure at this point if that's also the uncore / cache voltage.)
4x4GB Geil EVO POTENZA DDR4-2400, at around 2400, 16-16-16-38-2T.
Windows 10 64-bit. Sapphire Radeon RX 460 4GB video card.
Oh yeah, mobo in this case is an ASRock B150 K4/Hyper, running the non-Killer NIC drivers.
I had an issue with the video card a few times booting, the BIOS screen was all funky. I hope that it's not defective somehow, and it was just an artifact of the BCLK OCing. Not sure.
I've got a 4K UHD HDR TV coming .
Temps aren't great, OCCT once I boosted the clock to 4.5Ghz, and the vcore to 1.400V, hits 95C and quits on me a few minutes in. Though, no BSODs or appcrashes, so that's good.
If I lower the vcore to make things a little bit cooler, though, it seems like it doesn't want to restart properly, when restarting Windows.
