In recent years, Intel’s strategy regarding its different chipsets for each new generation of processors it was based on separating by ranges, allowing memory and CPU overclock functions only to motherboards with Z series chipsets. In this way, if we had a board with H or B chipset, no matter how much we had a K series processor with an unlocked multiplier, it would not be possible to increase its speed or that of its memories .

That changes from now on, and the company has activated the possibility of overclocking, at least of the DDR4 memories , on their new chipsets H 570 and B 560 for undéci Intel Core processors 3rd generation “Rocket Lake-S” , of which we were able to learn some details at this CES 2021.

Intel joins AMD by allowing memory overclocking on its mid-range chipsets, although the processor OC will only work on the Z 590

It is about for the first time in a long time that it is possible to overclock memory on chipsets that do not belong to the Z line. Unfortunately, the possibility of overclocking the speeds of the different Processor cores will remain exclusive to the Z chipset 590. .

Of course, it will be necessary to use Core i5 or higher range processors, including Core i7 and Core i9, to be able to use memories above 3. 200 MHz DDR4. Core i3 processors will stay with support for DDR4 – 2667 MHz.
