i had a lga 775 mobo wid c2d and it could oc easily so i thought if that shit can oc a shitty cpu then why wouldnt this

Because back in they day the core 2 duo cost $300, at least. Also, that was BCLK which is not easy on haswell.

why u all pissed off wid the caps im not shouting at all im just sad 

Well if you used the internet before caps normally mean SHOUTING. And I understand that you are sad but nothing can be done

[airdeano]

gotta have the proper CPU/motherboard to do so.

otherwise, someone had told you some wrong information.

Why the bloody hell did you pair an r9 390 with a 7870k?

I JUST BOUGHT A PENTIUM G3220 3GHZ CPU WITH GIGABYTE GA H81M S1 (REV 1.0) MOTHERBOARD AND I WANTED TO OC BUT I CANT IT SAYS ONLY FOR K CPUS I THOUGHT AND MOBO WOULD OC PENTIUM G3220 AS G3258 CAN BE OC EASLY NOW IM IN BIG TROUBLE AND DONT KNOW WAT TO DO AND I CANT RETURN IT AS ITS BEEN MANY DAYS I BOUGHT THIS CPU SO THAT I COULD OC AND ENHANCE ITS PERFORMANCE BUT I CANT NOW SO PLS TELL ME WAT TO DO MY MOBO HAS UEFI WILL DOWNGRADING THE BIOS HELP  PLS TELL 

Well... you needn't shout. It can't be that big of a deal.

 

Officially, only unlocked processors can be overclocked. This includes all K-sku (Mainstream Broadwell's K-sku CPUs are denoted with a C instead of a K to indicate that they have Iris graphics) CPUs, like the i7-6700K, i5-6600K, i7-4770K, i7-4790K, i7-5775C, etc., extreme edition CPUs (5960X, 6950X, 4960X, etc), and the Pentium anniversary edition (G3258). You'll need a Z-chipset or X-chipset (X79, X99, Z97, Z170, etc.) motherboard to do any of this, which carries a premium. Unofficially, there are some cheaper motherboards that use lesser chipsets like H97, H87, etc. that can overclock, some even going to the extent of overclocking normally locked CPUs, but this really depends on your architecture and the BIOS you use.

cant i just use some program to oc

will changing my bios help

Lol cause I got it at a good price and also I wanna upgrade to ZEN maybe so I didn't want anything crazy for the moment/was on a tight budget and had to use intergrated GPU for a few months to game

No, and no. there is no real way to overclock that CPU, except maybe 1% from base clock. Give it up.

Alright, did something similar but with a core i5 and a GTX 660.

Also when I built it I wasn't very knowledgeable at the fact that if I got an i3 I would have a good upgrade path, but as I said I also had to use integrated for a few months so the 7870k was better in that respect.

Yeah. I'm still surprised that the build I made like 8 months ago still has most of the same parts as recommended in new LTT videos and such. I was pretty good at picking parts that would last into the future when I built it.

actually on Haswell most b85 boards can do the G3258 too.

Mine allows OC, but he's got a H81...

You should've looked at what you were buying if you wanted to overclock. To answer your question on "what to do" If you really want to OC buy a B85 or higher mobo. Other than that don't use caps, and that's it

Again, this depends on your board and architecture. Some boards can unofficially allow some sort of overclocking to happen, but Intel is very prompt on patching this in microcode updates.

 

You may, for instance, be able to get a Z97 board and BCLK overclock, though this will overclock both your CPU and your RAM speeds. Prior to Skylake (I think), it can also affect PCIe and the DMI interface (these are the lanes between the chipset and CPU which affect SATA, Ethernet, and USB), which can result in massive stability problems if thrown too high or too low.

If you want, you can overclock your graphics card. That's handled by graphics drivers and has nothing to do with your CPU's architecture.

You overclocked RN on a locked CPU and B85? Reason I didn't say that most b85's support OC on an I5 is power draw. Simply too much for the VRM to handle.

[Realchess46]

You need a Z87 MotherBoard to OC. You have an H81. It's just like the Intel 100 Series Chip sets, Z170 is needed to OC properly.

It's not "overclocked" I guess it's just the turbo boost, but in my BIOS it recognizes my 4590 as an unlocked processor and allows me to change the multiplier (pretty sure the multiplier) to 3.7GHz, but I don't do it since it task manager starts saying my max CPU speed is 3.7 but then says the processor is running at 4.11Ghz, real odd.

my I5 does the same.

on how many cores are you getting full speed on?

All of them above lol. Something somewhere is making my 6500 run at 3.7 GHz. Fully stable with great temps on a stock cooler. And I ain't even mad.
