BCLK overclocking is heavily motherboard dependent, you need a very good external clock reference and in any case once you go over 3-5mhz you drop your PCIE rates from 3.0 to 2.0.

Intel's HEDT platform supports proper CPU strap overclocking withou adverse effects, but even then it's usually not recommended unless you are doing extreme OC and that's liquid nitro :)
