The ongoing saga of non-K Intel Skylake overclocking continues today, as Asrock is about to implement another workaround.
Intel put a stop to it last month.
According to Tech Power Up, Asrock has announced the Fatal1ty H170 Gaming K4 Hyper and the Fatal1ty B150 Gaming K4 Hyper motherboards, which use an external clock-generator chip that give cadence to the U which circumvents Intel's on-die clock-generator.
Basically, this means you'll be able to overclock non-K Skylakes again, increasing the base clock frequency in increments of 0.0625MHz, and you'll be able to change the memory clock too. Many Z-series motherboards feature external clock generators, but this is the first time we've seen them on H- and B-series boards, which typically don't overclocking.
In of specification, these two motherboards are basically the same as the existing H170 and B150 Asrock boards.
