When you manage PCI(e) and memory clocks, you might utilize higher BCLK values, but this could severely limit the performance of those parts.

varies based on your motherboard; non-K Intel can be overclocked by raising BCLK, though this would also boost the speed of other components like RAM and PCIe slots.

On certain motherboards, adjusting the BCLK might offer a slight improvement, though it comes with other issues. It's not recommended.
