Hello there. I have Gigabyte H110-DS2 motherboard and Pentium Gold 4400. I downgraded BIOS to F20 and I can adjust BCLK from 80 to 500MHz, it seems all Gigabyte H110 boards have unlocked overclocking BCLK with the F20 BIOS, which is a rare stroke of luck. All other manufacturer boards don't have this option. Before updating the BIOS to F20 I was able to overclock the G4400 with 133.33MHz BCLK and get 4.4GHz. but Intel made it die when I updated to BIOS F20, even though the overclock option was still there, I couldn't get past 100.26MHz BCLK.
My PC won't boot and I couldn't downgrade to earlier BIOS, now I only can squeeze G4400 10MHz out with H110. BIOS newer than F20 removes the BCLK overclocking option. Intel has separated PCH/PCIe dependent on BCLK since Skylake, so the PCIe/PCH issue shouldn't be in the way of overclocking, making it much more overclockable. Instead of Ivy Bridge and Haswell you won't be able to go too high a few MHz before the system crashes and won't POST because of PCIe issues.
If someone knows how to hack Intel XTU and I will use it to overclock directly. I have a good idea to revive BCLK overclock on H110, I can adjust BCLK on Intel XTU from 99.5 to 100 I think the system will be able to overclock if system is still running, only when you overclock the CPU won't post on boot, overclock directly in BIOS impossible now. Can I trick or fool the CPU to overclocking? So I really need a application modder now. Why would Intel make non-k overclocking dead when it's possible, the warnings about H chipsets being a low-end and dangerous non-k overclocking bla bla makes no sense to overclocker. When a big company like Intel doesn’t want you to overclock its processor, they would’ve certainly implemented safeguards against an overclock. What can I do against Intel to squeeze free performance without paying a lot? Hack BIOS and microcode or a trick?
