Budget Intel overclocking is back, Core i5 12500 25% overclock.

[humbug]

Thanks to MSI giving Intel the middle finger, breath deep if you're going to read this out loud, the 'MSI MAG B660M Mortar Max Wifi DDR4' (that's a lot of MMMMM's) will allow you to overclock none K SKU Alderlake CPU's, good show MSI....

Linus used it to get an i5 12500 to 5.2Ghz all core stable.

 

[humbug]

The trick with the Mortar Max is it has an external BCLK generator, so IIRC it can run normal 100% BCLK for PCI-E/SATA/PCH etc, but then ADDITIONALLY run a custom BCLK for the rest of the system.

I believe there is an Asrock board the same also.

Yeah that's what i thought, there is a dedicated chip on the board that handles all of this.
