Overclocking on H370.

Go to solution Solved by boey,

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

      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?

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)
