It seems you still need a K CPU to be able to properly overclock via bclk even on a Z chipset.
Raise the bclk on a non-k CPU and you lose a lot of its features. We don't need bclk oc on K CPUs due to the unlocked multiplier... bclk oc is useless with all these drawbacks (no power management, broken avx, no turbo, no igpu/quicksync, etc) on non-k CPUs... unless you don't care for all of these.
I don't know if that's going to be solved in future BIOS updates to be up to par with Nehalem overclocking. It should be, unless Intel nerfed it, even though we have all the evidence they're going full speed ahead with the feature in kaby lake.
