Robert, you have a -K part, which officially "doesn't forbid" overclocking as far as I know, and this is the only reason I have not immediately closed this bug as invalid.
It looks like now you get to find out if that means Intel *supports* overclocking or not on -K processors, instead of just passively not blocking it outright: start with ASUS support, it is possible that a properly updated BIOS/UEFI would still allow overclocking on the new microcode. For the record, updating the MSRs for overclocking *after* the microcode is loaded on the processor, as opposed to updating the microcode *after* the overclocking was done by the UEFI/BIOS *can* make all the difference. That means your BIOS/UEFI needs to have the latest microcode update (and you won't need the intel-microcode package). If ASUS can't help you, good luck contacting Intel about this... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748543 Title: intel-microcode when installed on an i7-6850k based system running Artful breaks overclock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1748543/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
