LGA1700 non-K overclocking

Non-K OC on LGA1700 requires an external clockgen and a special BIOS that uses the external clock gen to bypass the CPU's internal one. Without the external clockgen and non-K OC BIOS non-K CPUs are limited to BCLKs of less than 103MHz. Typically around 102.5MHz 

AFAIK ASUS came up with this workaround for intel's BCLK restrictions on non-K CPUs.

I expect intel to completely block this workaround on 700 series boards and 13th gen CPUs too. Just like they did with 200+ chipsets and 7000+ CPUs on LGA1151 and LGA1200.

ASUS non-K OC capable motherboards
Z690 Formula (BIOS on HWbot)
Z690 Extreme (BIOS on HWbot)
Z690 Apex (BIOS on HWbot)
Z690 Hero (BIOS on HWbot)
B660-F (BIOS on HWbot)
B660-G (BIOS on HWbot)

MSI boards that can support non-K OC // waiting for BIOS
Z690 Godlike
Z690 Ace
Z690i Unify (BIOS on HWbot)
Z690 Unify X (BIOS on HWbot)
Z690 Unify
No plans for further support

Gigabyte boards that can support non-K OC // waiting for BIOS
Z690 Tachyon (BIOS on HWbot)
Z690 Xtreme
Could add more Z690 ATX boards with hardware revision

Asrock
Z690 Aqua OC (BIOS on HWbot)
IDK about any other Asrock boards
