Can You Overclock a LOCKED CPU?

Is there a way to adjust your CPU's clock speed even if it has a locked multiplier - other than manually tweaking the base clock?

Me: looks at my pc

Intel stock cooler: don’t even think about it

[farouk]

intel: well let you overclock our k-series cpu's

i just got a pulseway ad starring linus lmao. S+ tier actor

Intel: "Buy our unlocked chips for overclocking!"

Also Intel: "Overclocking voids your warranty!"

Intel: Implements XMP
Also Intel: "Enabling XMP voids you warranty!"

I'm getting mixed signals here...

Intel sees a feature that makes their product better : "wait that's illegal"

I completely LOVED the editing in this video, its like a TV course from 90's

2:26 This has to be a surreal meme reference "rotate"

[simulationmedia]

imagine paying extra for overclocking




This was made by the AMD gang

I feel bad for thinking it was pronounced "Ass-rock" the last 20 years

I recently killed my i3-540 while playing with the base clock.... I had to fork over $4 (free shipping) to upgrade to an i3-550.

Short answer: no
Longer answer: yes
Detailed answer: yes but actually no
Full answer: why don't you just watch the full video instead of searching for answer here?

[happygamers]

Answer: yes or no?

Linus: it depends

i love how you showed the i5 6500. i got mine up to 4ghz from 3.2ghz on a msi z170a pc mate mobo (only lga1151 that microcenter still has). just had to downgrade the bios to the 2016 version and adjust the voltage. and yeah, its surprisingly stable

Just remember, overclocking an overclockable chip will void your warranty

[Grubbybump]

This is exactly the video I've been needing for months. November last year, I bought an i5 9400f (locked) and for some reason, hooked it up to a 240mm aio. As nice as never breaking 45 degrees is, a bit more speed will be nice.

This is the video I've been looking for since April, 2018 and finally, it showed up.

Intel: **Releases new locked CPUs**
AMD:
"I'm sorry, but is this sort of a *Greedy* joke that I'm to *wise* to understand?"

[mimireich]

Dang, you gave Dr. Ian Cutress a credit here, Linus :p

[OutOfNameIdeas]

Intel spending time and effort to make the end consumer have a worse experience is all you had to say fam. I'm going AMD

In addition, things like the x99 turbo boost glitch allowed you to take single core turbos and make rhem all core turbos, so even 22nm x99 xeons like the e5 2620v3 can be found for 18 bucks and "OC"s to 3ghz across all 6 cores, and has cheap knock off boards for as little as 60 bucks with ddr4 quad channel mem.
