Overclocking on H370.

[FwelStars]

      Hello, I saw a post recently about a guy asking if H370 supports overclocking with an unlocked CPU. Which ofc, it doesn't. I have an 8700K on an H370 platform, and I tried overclocking myself. I was able to adjust target frequencies and such, but notta. Intel XTU gave me very little in terms of overclocking. I did have more freedom with adjusting the CPU, but i wasn't able to set the base clock or the boost clock at all.

 

   Some people are saying that you might be able to overclock with a much older BIOS, but is that really true? Could someone link me up to a very old BIOS that when H370 did support OC?

even if h370 did somehow support oc i wouldn't dare oc a 8700k on a h370 due to the shitty power delivery

So maybe for good reason is why it is disabled?

Nah, there are plenty of cheap Z370 boards with the same design as B and H chipsets. I'd say product segmentation. And dont expect overclockability on older BIOS (nor the first BIOS)
