Remember the days when essentially every CPU on the market could be overclocked with the right motherboard? Although the CPU multiplier could sometimes be manipulated, in the past, overclocking a processor was done almost entirely by increasing the base clock of the system (the clock that numerous parts of the system use to determine the speed at which they operate).

Intel’s new Skylake processors, users will once again be able to overclock essentially any 6th Gen (Skylake) processor by simply altering the base clock.
