Historically, Intel has separated its processors and chipsets that accompany them to overclockable and non-overclockable ones. That implies that solely the “K” CPUs might be overclocked. With the most recent technology, just some elements of the lineup are Ok CPUs, just like the Core i9-10900Ok, i7-10700Ok, i5-10600Ok, and so on. Those processors might solely be overclocked one put in motherboards based mostly on “Z” chipset, like Z390 and Z490. However, it looks as if ASRock has developed a brand new expertise that can overclock non-Ok CPUs on non-Z motherboards, which is sort of spectacular.
Called the Base Frequency Boost (BFB) expertise, it is going to enable for overclocking the non-Ok processors on chipsets like B460 and H470. How will that work you would possibly surprise? Well, ASRock will take the TDP of the CPUs and make it run within the PL1 mode, which will increase the processor TDP kind 65 W and turns it right into a 125 W TDP beast. This will, in fact, be person selective and case dependent, which means that in case your cooling system can’t deal with that a lot warmth popping out from the overclocked processors, it’s unlikely that they are going to attain the height clocks ASRock can goal.
