Hi,
I have been tweaking around on the 4770k on my Maximus VI formula on the standard settings of 100 Mhz BCLK and the standard multipliers for the cores. That works fine and I get up to a decent speed 4600 - 4800 Mhz. I have also been able to tweak the BCLK from 100 up to 102Mhz and can with each .1 step see increases for example in Superpi and other benchmarks.
Today I swapped over to the ASUS configured BCLK 190 and 195 Profiles. I needed to adjust the voltages upwards to the same I have used for CPU and Ram to get it stable while manually turning down the clockspeed for the 4600 internal GPU.
Overall I can see processor speeds of
4485.31 MHz (23 * 195.01 MHz) I tested in Superpi again and get very similar results with the overall CPU clockspeed being the same. I cant really see any benefit from having such high BCLK yet 2 MHz difference on the 100 MHz BCLK would give a big change in the overall performance. I would thus have assumed this was a way to make the overall system more.. efficient.
So then the question is.. Why would I need it. Were would I see the difference? I have a laptop that run at 266 BCLK for example. I ran XTU to check for example and that was just depressing
😉 600 some points at 4500 Mhz. pfft I can do that at what 3500 Mhz on a BCLK of a 100? or does various components just read out the 200 and divide its own speed to equivalent of the 100 Mhz setting?
What application-benchmark would potentially give something positive out of it. I mean CPU-Z validation for a MB clockspeed aint exactly a good motivator
