Exclusive: BCLK overclocking non-K Intel Skylake CPUs is now possible, tested here

@ pmds25 Arctic Freezer A30, link: http://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/freezer-a30.html
On stock cooler, frequently hitting 75 degrees Celsius.

Wow, those stock cooler temperatures are better than I expected. Still, a toasty affair ;-) free house heating ftw

AMD stock coolers for FX83xx are heat pipes type and just get their job done if you don't overclock.Just to compliment you, my hottest in terms of house heating was a Pentium D935 if I remember correctly, but maybe you are too young to have used that model.Never under 60 degrees Celsius, frequently hitting 90.

Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, I'm way too young to remember that kind of Pentium. I do remember the days when having a Pentium IV was the minimum requirement and seemed like a decent choice, although I was pretty young back then.

I remember Pentium D with stock cooler also. Idle 70 degrees and fan nearly 7000 RPM. Luckily that was not my computer.

Would be awesome to get this done on the Asus Z170 series of Mobos...Gonna hit us with that update TeckSpot? Hope so...

Baaa, not good! Why only Z boards and need to disable iGPU, why? not good at all.
ASRock H170M Pro4 the only m-ATX board with Displayport apart from the more expensive ROG.

I am still waiting to see if this is possible on quad core Skylake CPUs. I would give it a little more time until the real BIOS is out and that this has been verified on all models of the Skylake family. It probably is but still...

My rig for multimedia is an AMD FX8320E on MSI 990FXA-GD80 currently at 4.5 GHz stable with DDR3-2400 CL10 at 1.55V memory and 1.325 V processor .Never benchmarked, maybe sometime next year.And works cool at 47 degrees Celsius, max, when transcoding large video files.

What kind of insane cooling do you have to achieve those kinds of temperatures. I've got nothing against AMD, but it's well known that their current FX generation runs pretty hot, at least compared to Intel's current lineup.

Doubt it's any insane cooling; just look at his vcore, 1.325 is not very high for a FX. For reference, I run my 8320 at 4.2 on 1.25 vcore; never goes above 45 C and all I'm using is a hyper 212.

OMG! I just bought my first intel system the other day(hasn't arrived yet) since oh, I don't know, 1997? seriously, I went from an intel 233mhz to an AMD k6 cpu and have been in the AMD camp until just the other day. I still have my apu based AMD system, and it still does a good job, but, really ?timing? I should go play the lottery!
