Breaking Limitations! CPU OC on ECS H87, B85, and H81 Motherboards
Now your K-Series CPUs don't necessarily need to go along with Z-Series chipsets to experience the joy of overclocking. ECS recently announced that its motherboards with all Intel 8 Series chipsets, including H87, B85, and H81, have the CPU overclocking ability, giving non Z-Series motherboard users the benefit of additional performance through CPU overclocking.
ECS has achieved Non-Z Series CPU overclocking with H87, B85, and H81 motherboards by simply adjusting the CPU Ratio inside the BIOS, offering an extremely easy way of overclocking your CPU. More importantly, H87, B85, and H81 CPU overclocking ability provides an affordable solution for seasoned or casual overclockers at a wide range or price levels.

How are they able to clock the non K chip up so high? I thought the non K's were locked on the multi :confused:
1) they are K chips,
2) even if they weren't, they're ES chips so the multi is unlocked anyway.
This news isn't about overclocking non-K chips, it's about overclocking on non Z-series chipsets. And yes, that VCore is way too high or not being read correctly.
I didn't realize that non Z boards lacked the overclocking ability. :wtf:
Indeed, the Voltage is just slightly beyond utterly ridiculous, probably poorly read, otherwise this looks like a suicide run (going by the voltage alone).
So 1.77 or 1.78v would be the CPU Input voltage or VIN on some boards. CPUz is reading the output of the motherboard VRM, not the vcore of the CPU.
GBT also released BIOSes for their B85 and H87 boards today i think too.
you know damn well somethings fishy here...
Haswell, an already toasty chip @ 1.7+ would turn even the biggest of water loops into a boiling cauldron of hot mess......
Nothing surprising to be found here with the voltage.
Was confused about the whole "can it raise multi on non-k-series CPUs" thing too.Only one way to find out.
damnit, this screws with my upgrade plans.
