Hi AT,
I'll get right to it. I am upset and surprised to find after googling, that the new base-clock overclocking that is touted on the new Skylake CPUs does not appear to be available on the non-K SKUs. To me historically, base-clock overclocking means you are stuck with a fixed CPU multiplier, and you increase the base clock to get your final speed, while trying not to overclock the RAM too much because it is delicate.
Did AT fail to report this detail? Seems a bit misleading when Intel is telling us BCLK overclocking is back.
I also hear there is a rumor that certain motherboards override this, but it is not confirmed or clear which boards.
Has anyone tried to adjust their base clock on a non-K CPU? Please tell me I am wrong.
