Martin White Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Hello, are processors Prescott-1M-64 allowed in the stage 2 ? Quote
elita Posted September 5 Posted September 5 As far as I understood, HWBOT is in the business of honesty and integrity, no? So, how come that a specifically NON-K 12th Gen 12XXX Alder Lake CPU can magically overclock to 5+GHz by itself? As far as the Intel documentation states, my i7-12700 can clock as followes: 4.9GHz with one P-core, 4.8GHz with 2 P-cores, 4.7Ghz with 3 P-cores, 4.6GHz with 4 or 5, 4.5GHz with 6-8 P-core in addition to 3.6GHz with 2x E-core and 3.4GHz with all 4 E-cores at any given time. For a competition, all things should be equal, no? So, how is it, that a specifically NON-K CPU can cheat its way to the top, when Intel says, no overclocking NON-K CPU. Either let everyone overclock, which is not available for expensive motherboards, or the NON-K CPU seems somehow moot. Quote
TerraRaptor Posted September 5 Posted September 5 Everyone can overclock these (having some pre-requisites). You should use board with external clock generator (plenty of these in the market - b660/z690/b760/z790 - mid-tier board with <200$ price tag are also available especially if you go buy used thing) and older bios that allows overclocking non-k skus (or you can make one modded yourself - main thing is older ucode for alder lake cpus that you need to inject into bios). Forum threads for both pre-requisites are public. Hwbot is about overclocking and we do overclocking. Competitive overclocking btw. So stop complaining and pay some effort. 2 Quote
