Caution is advised in updating your MSI motherboard for this feature as MSI's BCLK OC support looks like it might come from a third party at this time. The BIOS update for the MSI boards can be found here. Tech site KitGuru reports that the MSI motherboards supporting BCLK OC are as follows the XPOWER GAMING TE, GAMING M9, GAMING M7, GAMING M5, and G45 GAMING. However it looks like it has been beaten to the draw, as MSI users already have such a feature available, with no word from ASUS as yet. In our initial report it was noted that ASUS was shortly going to implement non-K Skylake OC in its suitable motherboards. With SKY OC (or other motherboard manufacturer equivalent) in action users can't make use of onboard Intel graphics, and the CPU Turbo Ratio and C-State will also be disabled.ĪSRock SKY OC is supported by the following motherboards It called the feature SKY OC, as you can see from the garish promotional graphic above. In early tests this BIOS update allowed users of budget processors such as the Intel Core i3-6100 to gain a respectable extra gigahertz of speed.ĪSRock released the BIOS files referred to a couple of days back and penned a blog about the new facility. It worked by enabling users to adjust the BCLK, among other things. At the weekend we covered the news that ASRock had a BIOS ready for release that would enable those with one of its Z170 motherboards and a non-K Skylake processor to dabble in some overclocking.
