What are K-model Intel processors?

If you have noticed on the Intel’s processor model number, sometimes letter “K” is written in the end of number.

If a CPU has model number that is ending with “K symbol” like i7-7700K, it means the CPU is unlocked and you can make it over-clock by changing BIOS settings.

It means you can make the processor run faster than it’s usual speed by changing some settings. But here you will have to remember that although over-clocking will increase the speed of your processor, in the same time, it will also make you system more heating prone than before. So make sure that it is over-clocked within the limits and without any need don’t make your system over-clock.
