Between December and January various Taiwanese motherboard manufacturershave updated bios of your Intel chipset-based motherboards Z170, compatible with Intel Core-based Skylake. This has enabled overclocking of processor coresthat are not part of the family K, capable with these new bios to support the use of basic frequencies much higher than the default clock of 100 MHz.
The result of this was an increased interest, most passionate users, towards theIntel Core processor family Skylake not belonging to the K series, then withoutfrequency multiplier unlocked. The ability to easily overcloccarli, with increases inCPU clock rate that can reach 50%, did not go unnoticed but it is said that it canlast forever.
Intel is willing to curb this phenomenon, effectively enabling a processormicrocode Skylake level locking to prevent Overclocking may result inmalfunctions of the systems in the long run. One way maybe elegant to say thatdoes not go very much that a budget processor, sold for a fee, will allow viaoverclock very high performance when it was not designed to allow this practice.
In December, after all, had had occasion to speak of this subject with variousAsian motherboard manufacturers and all those polled had expressed doubt that Intel could somehow intervene to block this possibility, not foreseen at the design stage and in fact discovered by some producers through some optimizations bios side.
We are therefore waiting to see if and how Intel will intervene officially to blockthis practice to overclock, which is about to be honest a very limited number of users. A pity, in our opinion, if the CPU overclocking Skylake K not be limited by Intel for both users and manufacturers of motherboards, called to diversifymaximally its products and that in this way they had one more tool available.
