And all I've looked for so far can at this time of writing  can be found in your motherboards BETA Download sections.

Happy hunting !

I was reading about this the other day, it's good news for a lot of more budget minded people as it applies to even the pentium and i3 parts and likely the celeron line once it is released. I would like to see BCLK options added to non-Z chipset boards too as it isn't really abusing intel's rules regarding overclocking given it does nothing to allow for higher multipliers. It may still upset intel though. We have already seen on more than one occasion they really don't like features being added that were not meant to be.

Oh give 'em time and they'll figure a way to snip or code this ability out of existence

I hope ASRock will bring this to Non-Z boards.

The H110M-ITX/D3 and the B150M-ITX/D3 are the two desired boards
for my next ITX build (NES project).



990FX Extreme 9 MOD P1.70
AMD FX 8120 4GHz 1.25V
Thermalright HR-02
Patriot Viper 2x4GB 2133MHz
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
MSI R7970 TFIII 3GB
CORSAIR VX550W
LanCool K62 Dragonlord
ASUS Xonar D2X

I would love to see it materialize for all 100 series boards, sadly I doubt it will happen with reports already coming in of i3s hitting close to 4ghz. Intel will not like the idea of prospective i5 buyers opting for an i3 in an H110 board because it can overclock to near i5 performance for a fraction of the cost. They will want us to fork out for a Z170 based motherboard so we can achieve these overclocks. Regardless of whether it comes to non-Z boards it is still great news for a lot of people that would otherwise have paid more for the K branded i5/i7.

I will try this with my Z170M-pro4s and locked i5-6600. I'd be happy with 4.2Ghz oc but you actually can't read cpu temp when using the Sky OC. 4.2 is modest, but I want to be sure that my chip won't run hot with a 212 Evo cooler. Is this a good and safe speed?

I saw the i5-6400 clocked at 4.7Ghz, which is ridiculous. A 6400 clocked at 4.7 has functionally the same performance as a 6600 with the same clock, correct?

You really should be fine with 4.2 Ghz. I also have a Z170M Pro4S, with a I5-6600K. My CPU cooler is an Enermax Liqmax II 120 and i can manage up to 4.7 Ghz without temperature problems.

At 4.2, i never exceed 50-55°C. The tricky thing is to manage the LLC and the offset to get the voltage as low as you can. Mine is perfectly stable with a 36mv Offset and LLC Level 1
It's also worth noting that you might need to up the current limits for you CPU.

I was going to start at 1.35v bios vcore without LLC and read the load vcore. Then set bios vcore to the previous load vcore and low level LLC. Next, increase LLC level until I get bios and load vcores close, while giving the bios a little more voltage if vdroop brings load vcore below what is the minimum (the load vcore I got in step 1 without LLC). Is this correct?
