I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I did a search for BCLK and it didn't really yield any specific threads related to Intel's -E chipsets (X79/X99). I've also Googled this, but it seems that I keep reading the same thing over and over, and there never seems to be any sort of concrete answer.
So, is there any actual, tangible drawback to using BCLK to overclock the CPU and RAM on -E chipsets?
Now, I understand that it's the base clock of the motherboard, and everything connected to it is then essentially "overclocked," but has there been any hard evidence that it's actually damaging the components attached to it, or is it just that, in theory, you could damage the components connected to a motherboard when using a higher base clock? Could the opposite of that also be true, where if we're using a higher base clock, and everything attached to the motherboard is "overclocked," would those components then, in theory, perform better, as well?
