Would it be better to interfere with BLCK for additional overclocking (because I really want to :))?
Would it be better to interfere with BLCK for additional overclocking (because I really want to :))?
Hello I have done about 4 hours of research about BLCK overclocking and have heard a lot of differnt things. I am intrested to try and want to know enough before i try it. Before I am going to put more hours in researching BLCK overclocking I would like to know if my system is even suitable. This would be a great help!
Here is my system:
Mobo: asus p9x79
CPU: i7 3820 (currently oc to 4.3 gh)
Ram: Corsair CMX16GX3M2A1600C11, 16gb 1600mh 1.5v (8x8)
Gpu: 1060 3gb
Pws: corsair cx750, the older one 80 Plus Bronze
Cooler: Corsair H80 watercooler
With the current overclock (1.35 volts on cpu) i get no more then 60 degrees during stress so i should be able to push it a bit further. I have the luxury of not having to pay for electricity so hell yeah lol. I am hesitand to go BLCK overclock as i heard it could also mess up you ram and pcie slots. I saw a tutorial online with the same mobo and cpu but he said his 1.2 v ram was helping and mine is 1.5 v so yeah. I primarely use the system for csgo gaming so maybe single core oc is also something to look into. I am super intrested to hear what you think. I heard a lot of people from 2015 say they got this cpu for overclocking so i am pretty excited as well. Thanks for reading and i hope to hear from you!!!
Don't waste time. It's not worth it.
BCLK influences everything connected to the bus. Running RAM at 3000MHz with a 100.00 buss clock will require 3150MHz if you maintain a stable 105.00 BCLK. A 4.2GHz processor could reach 4.4GHz, but this mainly impacts data transmission speeds, HDDs, SSDs, etc. It also generates excessive heat, affecting the CPU, memory controller, GPU, and even the IGPU.
Most current systems struggle with stability at 103 BCLK; by the time you reach 105 BCLK, your CPU can easily rise 10°C or more.
125 BCLK is typically reserved for LN2 conditions to achieve higher core clocks without forcing excessive CPU multiplier usage and causing voltage issues. Many motherboards can't handle this.
I received the error "overclock failed." I adjusted the BCLK to 105 with a 1.35 CPU v 44 multiplier (max) and changed the RAM speed from 1600 to 1680, setting DRAM voltage to 1.550. Did something go wrong?
BCLK of 105 is 'way' too high in most cases.
Try 103 max. You really don't have much room to work with. BCLK OC is really finicky; it alters cpu core, cpu cache, and memory frequency all at once.
The first 2 aren't too bad, because one can usually raise the core + cache voltage and be fine, but the memory frequency is the one I feel screws you - the current timings are no longer stable.
Then i got pretty lucky because i didn't go further than 105, though i see some other guys turning the blck all the way to 125 while claiming those are very average overclocks. For example, 3:00 says "most people set it at 125," but it just seems odd that these guys are doing 125 bclk but i can't get away with 105?

BCLK is a factor influencing everything connected to the bus. Running RAM at 3000MHz with a 100.00 buss clock will require 3150MHz if you maintain a stable 105.00 BCLK. A 4.2GHz processor could push to 4.4GHz, but this mainly impacts data transmission rates, HDDs, SSDs, etc. It also generates excessive heat, affecting the CPU, memory controller, GPU, and even the IGPU.
Most current systems struggle with stability at 103 BCLK; reaching 105 BCLK can easily raise the CPU temperature by over 10°C.
125 BCLK is typically reserved for extreme conditions like LN2 cooling, allowing higher core clocks without forcing excessive CPU multiplier usage or causing voltage issues. Many motherboards cap performance at 115 to avoid such problems.
Then how can it be that people with identical CPUs and motherboards achieve 125.003 bclk by adjusting the CPU strap? Thanks for your response, but what confuses me is the discrepancy—some say 106 will fry your system while others claim that changing the CPU strap to 125 MHz and keeping RAM stable makes 125 an easy overclock. I hope someone can clarify why there’s such a difference and if there’s a tutorial like this available.
