![]() While Intel claim that baseclock overclocking has returned, I could not get any joy out of increasing the baseclock whatsoever with any adjustment resulting in either huge stability issues or non-boot scenarios. The same can be said of the OC buttons on the motherboard itself. MSI recommend a maximum +/-10% overclock on the base clock at each ratio so it will be interesting to see exactly how this affects our overclock.Unfortunately we didn’t have much (any)success with any of the ratios as any change in the base clock resulted in windows failing to load. Couple the base clock with the CPU core ratios of 1.00, 1.33 and 1.67MHz and you can (hopefully) extract the absolute maximum. The bus speed is in essence the Baseclock and thus this can be fine tuned to extract the maximum amount from the CPU. As with skt1156 Sandybridge processors, the CPU ratio yields the biggest bulk of the overclocking as this multiplies the bus speed so for example 40x CPU ratio x 100 bus speed would result in a clockspeed of 4000MHz. Other than the ram ratio and voltage adjustments, the three main settings for overclocking are: CPU Ratio, CPU Core Ratio and CPU Base Clock. All of the necessary controls are in place including the new Base Clock Ratio setting which affords greater control over base clock overclocking on the X79 chipset. These profiles can not only be backed up to the BIOS itself but can be exported to a file or even a USB stick allowing you to share your settings with other enthusiasts around the world. Perhaps the only difference between the Click BIOS II and UEFI BIOS is that the UEFI BIOS has three overclock section, ECO, Standard and OC Genie allowing you to set the parameters of them individually along with a multitude of profiles under each section. The Click BIOS II utility is pretty much identical to the UEFI BIOS interface and uses the same input method of navigation keys or point and click mouse control which is much faster than the old method of scrolling through pages of settings using the direction and TAB keys. You can either use the UEFI based BIOS, the Click-BIOS II utility or MSI Control Center. ![]() You have a variety of ways to adjust the settings in the BIOS, a short sample of which can be seen above. ![]()
