Company ASRock At one time it was famous for motherboards based on H170 and B150 chipsets, which allowed overclocking Skylake-S processors on the bus. It seems that this tradition will be continued in the new models for the LGA1200 socket.
It is reported that in the younger models of motherboards of the 400th line, the Base Frequency Boost (BFB) function will appear, which will allow the chips to work at maximum.
We are talking about increasing the standard heat package of 65-watt tenth-generation processors to 125 W due to the increase in frequencies by 600-1100 MHz. Of course, this will require powerful cooling and a good power supply.
Note that in the line of motherboards with Z chipsets this has been around for a long time. But here the “trick” is precisely in using Base Frequency Boost on budget solutions.
