Intel 3570 non k version and overclocking

If you look at this chart it isn't able to Overclock it has to be a K version Intel Core i5-3570 vs i5-3570K

Could the OP not raise the FSB to overclock the rig? That's how to do it with an AMD with a locked multiplier. You have to be more careful with your memory speed and timings, but it can be done. Sometimes you get better performance over increasing the multiplier.

You can't overclock something that has a locked Multiplyer

Raising the bus frequency will raise the CPU clock. It uses the locked multiplier on a higher FSB.

Multi 17X200FSB=3400Mhz

Multi 17X220FSB=3740Mhz

Yep, you can only squeeze about 3-400 Mhz out of it

On the other hand, If I recall, the H chipsets are locked.

Yeah. That's what I was meaning.

... but didn't explain well.

Yes and probably a little more. Go in the Overclocking section of your BIOS and change from auto to 40, that is 200mhz more than the turbo oc. If using turbo, in the OC section of BIOS, go to CPU features and set each core to 40. This will give you 4GHZ.


You might get 4.1 or 4.2 if you try.


You would need an unlocked K chip to get more.
