Should have bought an overclocking "Z" series board. Sorry!

Yeah Intel makes sure they get every possible dime from overclockers, even after they get extra from someone buying a K version cpu. Need a Z chipset nothing less. Artificial limitation only as usual with Intel.

i know but it,s not possible to overclock my cpu to 4ghz or can i do that because i can set it to 4,2ghz but when im booting up is crashes and i only can set vcore to 1.300

NO!

Buy a Z170 or Z270 board if you want to overclock that CPU. (Or an ASRock B150 K4/Hyper, like I have. Don't think that they still make those though.)
