Hi! Just wondering if its possible to overclock these cpus on the z10pe board. I have tried and turbo mode allows the cpu to hit 3.7ghz. But when there is load on all cores, it will drop to 2.8ghz. I have checked and the default turbo boost setting for over 10 cores is 28x.Just wonder if there is a way to change this value. Eg, hacking the microcode or something.

I went to anandtech and they said its not possible.

But I read this and found that BDF67 error prevents cpu with over 10 cores to reach max boost speed. This can be corrected by BIOS. I wonder if BIOS is able to override the turbo boost settings in the CPU. If so, can it increase over 28x?
