You can find the binaries in %appdata%. Engineering samples are available depending on your CPU and BIOS version.
well.. first you become intimately familiar with x86 assembly, then you reverse engineer intel's microcode, then you apply a patch to make a locked chip show up as unlocked, and then you realise that between the OC potential of BCLK and the time you just spent, you might as well just not bothered. if you need any more clarification on if it's a stupid idea or not, i'll put it like this: i'm only here because of the combination of that title, and your username. i'm not saying more for the sake of avoiding arguments.
Wouldn't the ability to unlock enable a higher performance boost?
Yes, BCLK offers a straightforward solution that avoids all the hassle. Given the possibilities and the time required, your effort would be highly worthwhile.
