Holy ****... you guys are new at this, aren't you ?
And just FYI : LINK

pretty much...98% of the people on this forum are ''new at this''...and that's a problem.

152 863 teenager ''know it all'' at the same place, giving advise, acting and thinking like they know everything...while in fact they know squadoosh...can't be good.

I don't think that's fair to say.  Not knowing a CPU is partially unlocked doesn't mean that you don't know anything.  Correct me if I'm wrong (my knowledge is limited in the OC department), but weren't there only 3 partially unlocked Sandy Bridge CPU's?

All Sandy Bridge CPUs that support Turbo Boost are partially unlocked. Not only can they turbo up to frequencies that are higher than their default clock, but they can also be overclocked to frequencies even higher than their turbo speeds. By default, all Turbo enabled Sandy Bridge CPUs can be set to run at up to four bins (4 * bclk or 400MHz by default) higher than their standard turbo frequencies

I see 3 non-K/X ones in that list lol.

 

Anyway, Sandy Bridge was 6 years ago.  It's not like we're talking about Skylake.  Not being familiar with a CPU that old doesn't mean you don't know anything about computers.  I am new to overclocking, so this isn't personal.  I just don't like it when people act like dicks over an honest mistake.

...and i don't like people with limited knowledge pouring in and distributing advises and opinions left and right without at least doing SOME research before posting...a simple google search can go a long way nowadays if you don't know or if you're unsure...that's just my opinion.
