are i3s ocable

[Prokart2000]

just always wondered

No I3/I5's are locked because if I3's could OC then they would kill the market for I5's

[TheSLSAMG]

No, though they make it pretty obvious.

hm, I don't think so because all i3's are duel core though

[themaniac]

well i heard that you can by base clock overclocking

HT though (which model is the best i3??)

the i3 4340 i believe is the best one

majority of i5 sales are in custom gaming rigs. an i3k would be about the price of a reasonable i5. when overclocked it would perform much better in games. it would also not be far behind the i5k, and for the extra 70-80€, people would rather save those and put them into a motherboard so yes, an i3k would cannibalise the i5* sales

 if you mean BLK overclocking dont do it!

[themaniac]

yeah i thought BLK was also called base clock overclocking and why don't do it?

[seiny]

Well technically you can, people have done it. I wouldn't do it though - Save a little extra for the i5 you wont regret the 4 cores

i3s don't feature unlocked multipliers. However you can usually do a couple hundred MHz on the base clock.

 

However back on LGA1156 you didn't use multiplier to overclock.
