B85 Chipset (Overclocking)

[Apache Protocol]

Okay this will be just a random question a friend of mine have been doing a lot research and after a lot of reading he manage to Overclock a i5-4690k on a B85 Chipset but he tried and look what BIOS was it was first Working btw he did a 4.5GHz stable i am planning to visit him by the end of Summer so i could check if we can OC my ASUS B85M-GAMER.

 

at first i really did not believe a Chinese Review about the ASUS B85M-GAMER that was Overclocking Intel Core i5/i7 (4670k/4770k) but now i kinda wanna find out if this is still possible.

 

any comment about this Topic?.

The only way to overclock a processor on a b85 chipset is to base clock overclock. The only problem is that it also overclocks your pcie slots, ram, etc.

you can normally get older bios version where those features are still there if they have been removed by asus

Guide i used when i overclock BCLK

[minibois]

You can BCLK overclock maybe a bit, but not the 'traditional way' as the B85 chipset does not support changing multipliers if I remember correctly. Z87 and Z97 are the overclocking chipsets in the LGA 1150 socket.

B85 can be used for overclocking, but many boards will be using weak vrms and can overheat.

I'm not sure but I think B85 boards have voltage limitations. My board supports multiplier overclocking (no bclock) tho only on older bios versions. I haven't tried it myself since I don't have an unlocked cpu.

Hi my current ASUS B85M-GAMER can support 1.920V currently i have been using a Intel Pentium G3258 Overclock 4.7GHz @ 1.452V and it been running fine this whole time, i really have no intention in upgrading cause i rarely notice performance difference in my gaming "not triple a titles" and even if we succeed in overclocking a i5-4690k i just wait for Christmas Sales again currently no option in spending money that i could give me better FPS but still my Monitor is the best Shitty Bottleneck 1080p 60hz yaikes.

WHAT. WHAT

 

I THOUGHT ASUS SPECIFICALLY SAID THAT G3258s WON'T BE OCable ON THE B85M-GAMER.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. RAAAAAAAGE

B*L*S**T. THEY RELEASED A BIOS UPDATE. AGHGHGHGHGHG

Not really, i have read a forum that it was able to overclock a G3258 even a i5-4690k/4790k but i dont wanna buy a $250 and cant even overclock it but if this can be i might choose i5-4690k over xeon e3 1231-v3.

Thanks to this, now I'm thinking about selling my H97M-E to buy a B85M-GAMER.

Because "-GAMER" ahahahahahahahahahaha.

 

Actually I want to see if the H97M-E is holding me back when it comes to OC stability.

if your 4.2ghz is stable at 1.3v i think we might have the same CPU try this just adjust .001-.005

 

4.2GHz @ 1.225V
4.7GHz @ 1.452V

 

I found this 3 Stable for 24Hours AIDA64 Stress Test Program, i just dont even care anymore if my G3258 get burn but it still doing fine no any stability issue.

1.3V 4.2 Is way too high, never seen a chip that bad, I was doing 4.45 at 1.3V with a cheap chip.
