The community at HWBot has put up a list of boards from various manufacturers that allow BCLK, so we can see how much of an investment it requires. Thus, you are more likely to find it on more expensive boards. But because it is an extra component, it increases the price.
To make BCLK functional, you need this component on the board. An external generator doesn’t have this limit and you can choose BCLK even over 150 MHz – as long as the CPU is stable at such a clock increase from the base, of course. Theintegrated generator only allows you to raise the BCLK from 100 to 103 MHz only on a 65W processor, which can be called overclocking, but is not worth much. And that is the case of far from all the LGA 1700 options, as most of the boards just rely on the generator integrated in the processor. Overclocking of locked Alder Lake processors on the LGA 1700 platform is only possible if the board is equipped with an add-in clock generator. Because whether BCLK OC helps or not depends on the cost of the overall setup more than anything else. We took a look at which boards currently make it possible and if it’s worth it. Despite Intel seeking to only allow OC on the more expensive K-series enthusiast models. Last month, we were pleasantly surprised by the news that Intel’s new desktop platform (Core 12th Generation/Alder Lake) CPUs can be overclocked via BCLK. There are several boards supporting BCLK OC from different manufacturers, but only a few of them are worth it.
