Intel Increases Overclocking Potential in Haswell Processors

Intel Increases Overclocking Potential in Haswell Processors

Overclocking has become increasingly difficult ever since Sandy Bridge and it is made a bit more difficult with Ivy Bridge mainly because it runs  hotter because Intel decided to use a substandard thermal paste instead of fluxless solder. This could very well change with Intels Haswell platform. As reported by Anton Shilov of XBit Labs, Intel will offer more overclocking flexibility with the new platform, and here's why.

Most of the flexibility with come with the variable base clock ratios which is currently available in Sandy Bridge-E HEDT only. Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge allows adjustment of the base clock (which is 100 at stock) but as its linked with other clocks (I/O, PCI Express) within the PC; increasing it usually causes errors or degraded performance but Sandy Bridge-E comes with three base clock options (100, 125 and 166 MHz) which let the users adjust them without disturbing the other clocks.

Haswell is also expected to have higher core ratios than the Ivy Bridge which will help extreme overclockers in setting the world records with LN2 and other extreme cooling systems.

I hope this means they won't attempt to save 0.12 cents per processor by using garbage thermal paste again.

Making things up to push Haswell?!

SB is easy to clock, not much need for change.
Especially if heat is the limiting factor anyway, we can have a 5THz FSB but we cant use it.

All they need do (for a bit of convenience) is unhook the SATA controllers and other clock sensitive components from the FSB, job done.
But that wont help a cpu clock if you arent even maxing the multiplier.
Perhaps this is just for LN2.

awsome news , looking forward to haswell. Bring it on. I hope they dont suffer from the cold bug plagued on the SB , for us extreme overclockers.

i wonder what the top multi will be, as the base clock ratio changing was not so good for overclocking on SB-E
