OC'ing the Pentium K

[MLG Doge]

Simple Question.

 

Can i OC the Pentium G3258 on the MSI B85M-G43?

 

If not could you recommend some ~£50 boards that can?

 

Thanks

[SeanBond]

No, you need a z87 or z97 board for the, b85 won't OC. Wait for black friday deals to look for a z87 z97 board.  Yay for bios updates

All ASUS boards H81/B85/H87/H97 support OC'ing with the newest bios. A few other brands did this as well and MSI did this with select motherboards

Find a good B85 ASUS board.

[Archangel1994]

Yeah you can OC

Not with that board though. I don't think that was one of the selected boards for MSI

Short answer: yes

long answer: yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBfXruwe8w4 <- Linus' video 

 

note: your mobo has OC Genie 4 build in to the BIOS so you should try that first before starting to mess around with multipliers etc

So this can do the trick? Asus B85M-G Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Well you can check in stores/retailers around you.

 

It can OC the G3258 and leaves a good upgrade path to a i5.

It can but it needs a bios update first.

[NeatSquidYT]

Yes, with ASUS B and H series boards.

Edit: late to the party

[MLG Doge]

It can but it needs a bios update first.

Can I Get to the BIOS with the Pentium then OC?
