Posted December 11, 20159 yr Some more info about the unlocking. What you need to know is that it's just a simple BIOS update and that it's experimental = not suited for 24/7 use. For example any power management will not work using this method. XTU is also screwed up when using this, with scores around 200 points. BIOS for different boards will be released at a later stage when they are more fine-tuned.

December 11, 20159 yr wow, awesome. If it copuld be avaiable to customers, after core i3 will be close to core i5 level Performance is very solid on air 4.6 GHz
December 11, 20159 yr how cool! we dont have to play with the supermicro board thanks elmor great job as always!
December 11, 20159 yr is it work for the other cpu's? like i3 6100,G series ..... may K-series could make a better resulte white pushing blk after we on the max multi ? Edited December 12, 20159 yr by Game Theory
December 14, 20159 yr Author 400 base clock straight boot, no issue http://valid.x86.fr/wsjpwm Please be patient with bios releases, shouldn't be much longer.
December 14, 20159 yr Asus Maximus 8 hero Also on the list for no k unlock ??? cant wait for mod bios regards

December 15, 20159 yr * No IGPU * No dynamic change of CPU frequency * No C-states * No Turbo Mode * CPU temperature reading is incorrect * AVX instructions have very low performance * Windows XP ACPI not supported Sounds like pretty cool oldschool overclocking out of the bios with no changes in windows - tweaking contests incoming...guarentee it! Thanks man!!! :celebration::ws::ws:
December 15, 20159 yr Is it true when you OC blck your cpu will always run at maximum? Or when idle multiplier still drops to 8x? And how much more power does cpu draw compared to standard K OC?
