Knowledgeable X51 R3 owners please help
Hello everyone, I recently Purchased a second hand X51 R3, specs as follow I76700 (non K) 3.4 16GB DDR4 1050ti (Bought a used 1070ti Asus turbo RE design) 250gb SSD and 1TB HDD and the 330w brick.
I just have a few questions, i bought this rig to be my portable gaming desktop (already got a full atx thats unconventional to carry around to lans and mates places ect) I was wondering if the Motherboard in my R3 is compatible with the i76700k as in will i be able to O/C the CPU to the dell 4.4ghz and if possible further than that? (already found the OEM watercooler for the x51 aswell so temps wont be that much of an issue..)
Just wanting to know if motherboard will be compatible and if i will be able to OC the i76700k before i buy one? Specially not being the already made i76700k system.
Cheers Lochlan

cheers for the extra info mate, Im just trying to find out if the Motherboard in my X51 is Overclock-able, I read on a few other forums that people say its done through dells software, Which has me believing that they either may have 2 different motherboards for K and non K processors, But i could be wrong and the motherboards could be the same in all models just O/C disabled or something on non i7/i5'K systems
