I was able to cancel the MOBO but looks like the CPU is in process. I know about the K, I plan to set the turbo ratio, not the base ratio. The 3820 is locked so I wont be able to change the base 36x multi I know. But that is not how this chip works.

I think I can switch out the cpu with amazon, but not in the budget to go > 300 on it. So sandy - e is no good with dolphin?

Actually The 3820 is a partically locked cpu. You can increase the base multi up to 42.
you can clock it up to 42. after that you would need to up the BLK.
