Removing Intel i5-10400 Power Limits on H470 vs. AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (ft. ASUS APE)
4,000Intel's i5-10400 2666MHz memory limitations are in fact present on B460 & H470 motherboards, but so is ASUS APE, which is supposed to help performance. This benchmarks that.

The biggest takeaway here is that, yes, the i5-10400 is limited to 2666MHz. It's not able to do 2933MHz on these two boards, and even if it could, it still wouldn't be good. The ASRock boards can do BFB, or Base Frequency Boost, but our understanding is that this works the same way as ASUS' APE (ASUS Performance Enhancement). In this video, we're re-benchmarking the i5-10400 one final time on the B460 and H470 motherboards to finally look at if its memory is limited off of Z490, as it has been for about a decade now, just to make sure.
