Is i5-4570S overclockable? And how?

[jabla]

Guys, new to this tread, don't need to be rude, just asking. Is I5-4750S overclockable? And if yes, how to do it, any tutorial? Aaaand, how much should I overclock it. THAANKS!

 

 

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

I believe you need to have a "K" processor for overclocking. 

[jabla]

Ohh. But i saw, that some guys overclocks gpu's that are not 'K'

[TurtleOnSteroids]

As far as I am aware, you can only overclock K series processors. Sorry

 

You can't, the multiplier is locked.
The only thing you can do is raise the FSB a bit, but you won't gain more than a few MHz in CPU speed that way. It's also a good way of destabilizing your system.

Intel doesn't make GPU's.

GPU or CPU? If it ends with and X, then it's also overclockable. And if it starts with AMD

Non K processors can infact be overclocked, by increase the Base Clock. This will also overclock the ram and a few other buses which is why the overclocks are never massive. Expect around 300MHz - 500MHz.

[SkilledRebuilds]

You CAN overclock using the baseclock, but be warned it starts at 100Mhz and you won't get very far at all without instability...

You may have to also declock the memory to a speed rating lower than it's stock, as FSB gains will also make the memory speed faster.

 

102Mhz is probably easy enough to be stable, but some motherboards cannot go further..

I am very lucky.

I have 106.6Mhz, 106.7 it will not boot, @ 106.6 my PCIE 3.0 x16 slot is gone, it turns into a PCIE 2.0 x16 slot, which is fine for my GPU still.

If I went back to 104Mhz I get my PCIE 3.0 back...

 

It's risky enough, but overclocking in general can be...

If you REALLY MUST TRY THIS.. then try 102Mhz, if that works,.. do not jump str8 to 103, try 102.5 (if you can use those increments) and so on.. don't jump too high too fast.

 

It's only worth it if it can go really high like mine, adding a few hundred MHZ on top of stock..

Multi of 39x106.6 = 4.157Ghz <-- I also added a teenie weenie bit of voltage using offset mode.

 

Keep in mind.... be prepared maybe to remove the cmos battery or the resetting pins on your motherboard if it fails and your motherboard doesn't reset itself on its own after failing.

@jabla

 

Again - I'm very lucky... a one off that I could hit 106.6Mhz, other boards I have do not go this far.

[jabla]

Thanks! Yeah, sorry cpu not gpu

[EliminatingAngels]

If I'm correct, you can only change the baseclock of a non K processor (unlike a K processor which allows you to change the multiplier), and is harder and riskier to do. Non K processors also don't overclock as well. There's no guarantee what I said was 100% correct, so feel free to take as grain of salt.

This may not be feasible, as as far as I know, bclk adjustments kill turbo boost, which is a free 200MHz on 4 cores anyway. So unless he can safely (and stable-ly) get over 200MHz out of bclk adjusting, it'd be better to simple force turbo boost on 24/7

Well technically they do. Not dedicated tho

Possibly not. Although it could be my Asus motherboards feature to boot with 'MAXturbo'  instead of 'Maxperformance non-turbo'.

My Turbo clock is still active (3.9Ghz Turbo clock + BCLK@106.6 = 4.157Ghz) It would be lower with non-turbo+BCLK OC.

/Could be isolated to my Asus board...

Interesting. I'd like to see if more people can get bclk adjustments with turbo boost active on non-ASUS boards. If ASUS managed to do this while keeping turbo and other boards cannot, then that means ASUS boards are by and large the best you can acquire/use for any non-K processor if you're wanting to squeeze out performance.

[harrynowl]

You can with BLCK and you can force all cores to run at max turbo.

[D2ultima]

Good to know. Will have to re-write my bclk adjustment knowledge about turbo then.

Yes they did

 

[insayan]

Yes they did

 

They make onboard gpu's, too but nothing worth overclocking anyways.
