ObscureParadox Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 By interesting do you mean no fun?? 102.6BCLK max kinda makes me not want to bother with Skylake i3 Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 15, 2015 Crew Posted October 15, 2015 I5 6400/6600/6700 and co are all the same... you tried on cold too Roman ? Quote
TaPaKaH Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 What memory multipliers are available with these i3 (and locked Skylake in general)? Quote
der8auer Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 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. Quote
Lucky_n00b Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 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 Quote
Lays Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 is BCLK not unlocked like everyone was talking about? Quote
Massman Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 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 ... Quote

Marquzz Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Little sad. Was hoping that I could up the BCLK on i3s and get an healthy overclock. Damn you Intel Quote
Crew Strunkenbold Posted October 16, 2015 Crew Posted October 16, 2015 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.
