IMPROVED OVERCLOCKING FOR FASTER GAMING PERFORMANCE
A dedicated base-clock generator designed for 8th Generation Intel® processors allows overclocked base base-clock frequencies up to or beyond 432MHz*. This custom solution works in tandem with the ASUS TurboV processing unit to enhance voltage and base-clock overclocking control, — providing an exciting new way to boost performance to extreme heights.


Pardon me whilst I dream of an i3-8100 @ 5.2Ghz, on the cheap.

Wonder how well that might work, or if it will be like the usual, bump BCLK by like 1-2% on locked SKUs, and they shut down.

Sadly, Intel probably locks down BCLK OC on all but the "K" SKUs anyway.
