How do you access the BCLK?  Is it the PCIe clock?

So the Killer and G K4 are stuck at 2933 MHz max.?

Hi, just a question...

What makes is the difference between Taichi and K4 Pro compared to the Killer SLI/ac and K4 Gaming that allows the Taichi/K4P to run 3200mhz RAM and the Killer/K4G to top out at 2933 or less?

It looks like they run different BIOS sets, Taichi/K4P are at 1.56 and Killer/K4G are at 1.63.  

Thanks!
