October 15, 201510 yr By interesting do you mean no fun?? 102.6BCLK max kinda makes me not want to bother with Skylake i3
October 15, 201510 yr Crew I5 6400/6600/6700 and co are all the same... you tried on cold too Roman ?
October 15, 201510 yr What memory multipliers are available with these i3 (and locked Skylake in general)?
October 15, 201510 yr Can't remember exactly but was quite high. 3600 even higher. 3200 MHz worked fine even on stock SA. So IMC doesn't look bad.
October 15, 201510 yr Great Score man! Despite the low BCLK capability, pushing DDR4 on this CPU Class will still be fun if they have an IMC close to the K-series Skylake then
October 16, 201510 yr I'm surprised XMP is working on these chips! Can you dial in the memory timings manually too? is BCLK not unlocked like everyone was talking about? The Q0 engineering samples were unlocked; the R0 retail are not. In fact, due to the new implementation of BCLK (external PLL), the frequency range is even more limited than on previous platforms. So yeah, we won't be seeing much over 103 MHz on these chips. Well ... maybe ... we'll see ...

October 16, 201510 yr I'm surprised XMP is working on these chips! Can you dial in the memory timings manually too? Yea memory and timings work without any problems
October 16, 201510 yr Little sad. Was hoping that I could up the BCLK on i3s and get an healthy overclock. Damn you Intel
October 16, 201510 yr Crew Who finds the bios which firmware detects only Q0 cpus instead of R0? Bclk oc should be possible than. 103Mhz is a joke, external pll should actually give a lot more bclk than those internal ones we had with haswell but it seems like intel is doing anything to stop oc on budget pcs.
