Is it only the Asus DDR5 boards that allow BCLKing then?
I corrected it for you.
I bet a few of us are waiting for ddr5 to hit the sweet spot, i ain't pullin the trigger just yet.It's actually the availability that's the main problem with DDR5. Some shops were offering DDR5 4800mhz 16GB kits for around £130, but they didn't receive stock to forfill these orders.
I think you can sometimes buy OK priced modules on Ebay, if you are lucky.
The 16GB kit prices should eventually come down. I think the components for DDR5 are expensive at the moment, so they've been saving these parts for the larger capacity modules *speculation*.
gigabyte, MSI and asrock have this feature as well now, but only on certain boards. asus have the most confirmed boards.Is it only the Asus DDR5 boards that allow BCLKing then?
Yep, works on B660 ASUS Strix board(s) like I said further back, all DDR5, no DDR4 boards. So £240-270 board and £250+ for your RAM for your £180 CPU.
So a total and utter waste of time right now, just a get a 12700K/12600K and a cheaper Z690 DDR4 board for the same cost.
