I'll ask this as I'm not entirely sure, but didn't BClk overclock have issues with PCIe devices and USB?

Why can't Intel just make them unlocked already instead? Also, I wonder what is Intel's stance? "Don't ask don't tell"? XD

Still, the gains shown by der8auer and HBU are quite impressive; to the point where Z690 may become a bit irrelevant for gamers.

Intel is clearly not happy and will address this loophole in future BIOS updates potentially or simply void the warranty of the products.

I heard from someone referring der8auer that using external clock gen will only affect the CPU and RAM thus avoiding Pcie and USB issues while running high BCLK.

Ah, I see; that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying the BClk point.

As for your first point. I don't think Intel can get rid of this via microcode and they already void the warranty if you OC anything (including XMP; yes, it is that stupid).
