You were mistaken about the processor type. This process works only with Skylake models, not the Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge ones. The BLCK feature is linked to PCIe/DMI, which restricts stability to around 103 BLCC before issues arise—even that could be excessive. What you referred to as "flashing bios" actually applies once you have a K model CPU such as 4770k or 4790k, which the board supports. Anything beyond v2.00 won’t allow overclocking for even these models, which is why an older version is necessary. It could be version 1.90 or possibly an even earlier release—check that out.
oh ok got you, someone told me that on another forum.
so i guess the only thing i can do on this processor it lock all cores to max boost. by modifying the microcode in the bios, something i can't find any information on when it comes to this board.....
Question - How to turbo lock a I7-4790 at 4.0GHz all cores?
So guys i have 2 motherboards(Asus Z87-K and a Gigabyte Z97-HD3) The Z97 doesn't even allow me to set the 4 core turbo to 40 ratio but the Z87 does but it doesn't load it into windows any ideas how to get it to work? I've seen a lot of videos that show it can be done with asus boards...
But what danger lies ahead? Merely achieving the clock speed doesn't guarantee stability. These components weren't designed for overclocking, and the motherboard itself had a weak VRM setup.
I get what you mean. It's unlikely anyone will prevent you from changing your BIOS file to achieve that extra 5%. However, based on my personal experience, I can share that in my case, after upgrading from an OC'd i7-3770 to a Ryzen 5600G (while keeping my 3060Ti), and with my brother upgrading from an i5-4690K to a Ryzen 5600X (keeping his RX480), we both saw about twice the FPS from our CPU improvements.
4c 8 thread Haswell could be a good option if you can find one under 50 euros or USD, plus you already have a graphics card matching the GTX 770's performance.
the only solution is to use mcode 07 for 306C3, manage both mcupdate_genuineintel.dll in the Windows folder, either rename or delete it, then apply the BIOS update with mcode 07. it functions well, I've tried it several times with various systems including E3 1220 v3, 1230 v3, and 1240 v4. doing a full BIOS mod isn't necessary unless you're ready to try.
