Intel will allow RAM overclocking on the H570 and B560 chipsets

The launch of the Intel Rocket Lake-S processors is close to being released. They will be the last to be manufactured under the 14nm node. To force adoption of these new processors, Intel is implementing additional features. Intel H570 and B560 chipset motherboards will support RAM overclocking.

Overclocking RAM on Intel H570 and B560 chipset motherboards

Overclocking capabilities are typically reserved for Intel ZX90 chipsets. However, their competitor AMD is much more open in this regard, allowing overclocking on most of its chipsets . This has forced Intel to add this feature to a wider variety of chipsets. Furthermore, they need to include additional features to sell their 11th generation processors.

Note that Intel's H570 and B560 chipsets will not support overclocking the processors. Only memory overclocking capacity will be offered through XMP profiles.

In order to use this capacity of these new chipsets, it will be needed at least in Core i5 processors. Core i3, Pentium and Celeron processors would be limited to speeds of 2666MHz. Intel may finally enable memory overclocking on Core i3s, but who knows.

It is possible that ASRock will enable CPU overclocking on its motherboards using BCLK. Currently some mid-range ASRock motherboards allow you to increase the processor base frequency. This allows an extra performance, which is always positive.

We have to take into account that Intel's Rocket Lake-S processors are compatible with the Z490 chipsets (and other chipsets for Intel Comet Lake-S processors). Many may not be betting on switching motherboards and upgrading the processor, although high adoption of these processors is not expected. We must bear in mind that at the end of the year, in principle, the Alder Lake-S @ 10nm processors will arrive.
