Odd question for Non OC motherboards

[Mustachio Furioso]

So I never owned a non intel Z motherboard. I understand that overclocking is not possible. Does that also mean that underclocking, undervolting and/or disabling cores in not available as well?

 

Just wondering if I can do it on a 365B MOBO.

It's been a while since I've looked into this, but I believe that's on a per board basis, kinda like bclk adjustment on Z series boards. I know you cannot adjust multiplier in general, so underclocking isn't an option. Voltage adjustment is up to the board itself, but I don't believe many H series and B series boards do support it. Disabling cores I believe is more common, but again, it's on a per board basis. Look at the board you're trying to buy and check the manual to see if the features are exposed in the BIOS.

Pretty accurate in my experience. I have a random older board running some homelab type stuff, it has a intel 4000 series i5. I am able to turn off cores as I tried this to save some power as this particular box needs very little oomf, turns out that saved less than 1 watt so I just turned em back on lol.
