Asus OC Tuner OC on Ivy-bridge non-K

[Morfy]

I wonder if anyone alse is using OC Tuner from asus mobo bios, i have a non-K processor and still, by modifying the baseclock, OC tuner was able to rise the core clock to 3.5 ghz from 3.4, aplying the same method, i increased the baseclock a lil' bit more and set it to 106, now with an overclock of 3.6 ghz, i wonder if this is damaging my CPU in any way, it was stable in prime for 12 and 24 h, small FFT, sorry for my bad english.

A non k cpu is not ment to be oc

not fully unlocked, therefore the little oc that you can get, i was asking on the effects on parts of OC Tuner and baseclock rising

i'll have very little effect, and likely damage the CPU if you push it to much. The CPU it self is coded NOT to allow such changes and easily could be tempermental at best, or very likely unstable if you override the settings with the MB. Intel CPU's have alittle security built into them, and I honestly am not sure how a Locked Intel CPU would react to being pushed over it's accepted Stock settings.

Well, i'll not try going over 110 baseclock, which is max on ivy bridge, i think i won't even go over 106, my current setup, i'm happy with 3.6 ghz, i tried to see what impact it has, a good one so far, i wanted it to keep up with the 660 ti that will come, i know i3 ivy does not support PCI-e 3.0 but i'll upgrade the cpu in 1-2 years :))

Overclocking shouldn't hurt your processor any more than on a "K" processor. The only difference between the two is that the "K" gives you much more freedom with overclocking. You may not want to do this if you're using stock Intel cooling though.

It isn't going to damage it, if your not pushing it to hard. It can damage your pcie lanes and make sure your memory clock is good because changing the bus could change that as well.
