Dhenzjhen Unlocks BCLK on Retail Skylake Core i3

funsoul · Dec 1, 2015

Not sure if ya'll saw this but certainly very interesting! Will be cool to see how it's done and wonder if it'll work for other locked Skylake cpus.

Was just about to post this!

Makes me wonder if it's the board or all of them should have an open BCLK and certainly on a Z board. It certainly would be a nice switch for Intel

Can't wait to see how this plays out. It'd be awesome if it works on other boards.

its seems to be the board didn't the same same this happen when ivy came out but ivy max out at 108

Makes me want to play with my SB again

If this does work out, many many Intel users will be happier than a pig in s**t

Nope.

Ivy was 105 give or take regardless of cpu.

Ivy was 103-115MHz depends from CPU/mobo but 107+ was usually barely stable and on "non-OC" boards sometimes 103-105MHz was max. Most Haswell locked i3/i5 and most Xeons couldn't run above ~103-105MHz on even the best boards. There were also no straps for locked CPUs. Skylake has the same but there is locked pcie at 100MHz so CPU bus is something separated. Looks like some of the pins on the CPU are unlocking bclk OC. Question only if it's hard locked or can be unlocked in soft.

What meant to say I thought there was a H series board when IVY came out that aloud bclk overclocking like this board

I don't recall that offhand.

The reason this generation is different is, as Woomack said, the clock domains have been separated out. Z170 boards have their own clock generators on board which allow for very high BCLKs. That said, I wonder if any board can do this...
