If I were you, I keep it as it is. you dont want to stress a 7yrs old pc like that, keep it cool and functionable .+/- 300mhz wont make any help

...unless you want an excuse to buy new pc...

 

the game shall still run on 750, then you could tell how much the cpu is left behind.

I think thats the whole specs of the pc? My dad just changed the video card and added more ram  tje processor is probably lga 1156 ? I also added a picture now thanks for all the replies :)

 

Hello! So I am really scared about overclocking my processor my dad somehow overclocked it to 3.2 ghz but i need at least 3.9 - 4.0 to play battlefield 5 lol so yeah can someone explain to me the risk it would have when i overclock it ? And is it safe? Is it too risky? Is it even possible? What are the requirements for me to lower the risks ( liquid cooling lol or liquid  nitrogen cooling lol) and yes ive watched and read a lot of videos about it already but im still not sire if i should do it :/ can someone help me ? And by help i mean by explaining it some more

How did you discern this exactly?

An i5 750 at 3.7GHz is going to struggle as much as it does at 3.2 in my opinion, a mere quad core and a very old one at that, the .5 GHz increase is about a 15% boost and you'll need a lot more than that for playable battlefield.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

4.0 GHz? And what motherboard and cooler is this being attempted with?

Monitor temps, don't go over ~1.5v, and get a fat cooler (air or water does NOT matter).  Not sure what temps are recommended for that CPU, but 70c-80c should be about as high as you want to see.

 

Just start raising the FSB in 10-20mhz increments to start.  Maybe set your memory timings manually and reduce its target speed so you are not overclocking the RAM too far.  Check for stability at each step.

You're gonna need to tell us a lot more to determine if your plan is even feasible.

you basically need "adequate" cooling & adjust core voltage for overclocking.

but a i5 750 is just a 4 core cpu, you will hardly see a difference in those games no matter what clocks.

Im not really sure but maybe its lga 1156? As far as i can remember  https://www.cnet.com/products/hp-elite-7000-core-i5-750-2-66-ghz-4-gb-1-tb-vn889eaabe/  this is the whole pc  i think it got all the specs in there also  my.dad changed the video card and added more rams

Not happening.

 

You can, at most, boost the FSB a little with SoftFSB or some similar tool.  This would get you maybe into the ~3ghz range.

Damn  but i saw someone  on youtube with it on 4 ghz :/ how did they do it?

You have to be using a motherboard that allows you to set every CPU/Memory related voltage and timing manually to get much further.  With your system you are limited to stock vcore and stock memory timings.

Oh ! Thanks! Welp time to retire this one then!

New Ryzen CPUs soon, in case you haven't been keeping up to date. Worth waiting if you can.

Correct.  3.2ghz would be a nice place to put it if it does not need extra voltage or other tweaks.

 

Games "recommended specs" are just the minimum that they officially support.  You may need to reduce quality settings, and the game may not be smooth enough for you to be as competitive as people with newer rigs, but it should run.

It runs... like 30 fps and drops to 16 at explosions xD maybe after a year it will get optimized before i was running bf 1 and 30 fps and drops at 16 fps at launch too but 4 yrs after launch im playing it at 60 fps on all low while streaming and recording!

What GPU?

GPU isnt helping, but it should not be that bad on that GPU with a better CPU.

I think that's the best gpu ? Or gtx 1050 ti that... that motherboard can support because it doesnt have the pins? For power supply
