Yes, WOW, 200 would never boot Reminds me of the good old days when we'd say "Just start by setting 400 FSB and get it over with already"
I would have shot for 105 as my "here goes nothing" attempt

Can you adjust little at a time to 101, then 102, and have it show for real in BIOS and CPU-z?

BTW, thanks for quick report back So you see 3x new settings in Advanced Frequency Settings + 2x new in Advanced CPU Core Settings, correct?

Has anyone had much luck with finding out a method to circumvent the 103mhz bclk limit on non-K coffee lake or kaby lake?

I've picked up an i5-8600 and i5-7400 for cheap, would like to do some testing when my Clevo P870DM arrives.
Will start from the Dsanke bios, but if some kind of ME mod would help with bclk overclocking I would be all over it!

It appears to be a hardware lock so that there is no way unless the chipset itself get moded by motherboard manufacturer. Just forget it...
Get AMD. Intel is pretty mean for locking there CPUs performance to charge us high prices.

The part I fail to understand is why the K models do allow a higher than 103 bclk, seems like it's not a motherboard limitation, rather than something artificial implemented by Intel to gimp the non-K models.

Which is why I was hoping for perhaps something like an ME firmware mod to get around that.

In the meantime, I plan on using the throttlestop "disable and lock power limits" FIVR feature to hopefully get the best out of the chip.

EDIT: I should mention I paid around $80 AUD for the two chips, so can't complain really.
