NaturalViolence Wrote:-additional BCLK setting support allows for better overclocking without multipliers, adjusting the BCLK is completely safe on sandy bridge-E, unlike sandy bridge or ivy bridge. Unlike sandy/ivy bridge frequency sensitive components like the pci-e controller are not on the cpu with sandy bridge-E and therefore aren't affected by the bclk. DMI and PEG have programmable clock dividers that are used to keep their frequency from changing when you change the bclk.

3820 is a nice over clocker!

I saw the same post results as cluthz, as why I first choose that cpu.

It's not going to be any faster and it's going to cost you twice as much. Don't bother.
