Overclocking

Overclocking with Skylake is now fully flexible since we can adjust many variables including BCLK and ratio/multiplier.

Our current milestone is 4.8GHz with the Intel Core i7-6700K and we managed to achieve this 4.8GHz. We achieved this by using 100x48 with core voltage set to 1.40v - this is within the realms of longevity and still retains reasonable CPU temperatures.
