I have been overclocking this CPU using its limited locked multiplier. CPUz reports a clock ranging from 3.668 to 3.778 ghz. Is this on all 4 cores, or is it just one? And I'm using stock cooling and the temps are 33 on idle and about 50 during gameplay. Also CPUz still says the clock at around 3.7 ghz so I'm really curious about which cores are being used

what motherboard do you have?
i don't know any cpu monitoring programs other than cpu-z or hwmonitor.
you could try intel turbo boost monitor:

thats great, and ive been wondering about the graphics card, i was thinking about getting a better vga cooler for overclocks, especially one that can cool the ram. thanks for finding that for me, i looked all over but couldn;t find anything
Hey jcol87, I am planning on doing the same thing but with my z77A-G45 Thunderbolt mobo. I am new to OC' and was wondering how you increased its GHz. I have never OC'd before and im sure its as simple as changing a few things in BIOS, but i've heard different things about what to change, i.e.: "turbo multiplier", and "core multiplier". Can you help me with this?
And, did you ever find out how many cores your using? Would it vary depending on your mobo setup?
actually its really simple, but i'm not sure if every motherboard has the feature. but you should be able to increase the multiplier since it can change a little bit. basically, you go to the overclock section of the bios (or the CPU settings menu if ur MOBO doesn't have that feature) and increase the multiplier. on my motherboard, that just meant enabling the "NO K OC" Feature which handles the increase on its own, since you don't have AsRock, it will be different. Just increase the multiplier to 37, which is the highest it goes for that CPU. That's pretty much it, it's not that hardcore so no need for special cooling. another important part, and this may turn off on it own if you have the right bios, is to disable the turbo step and speed step technologies. those are the new intel features that automatically increase GHz depending upon performance. if you leave those on, they override any settings you have and will keep the CPU in normal mode.
in my BIOS I can set the multiplier per core, I didn't mess with that since I also did not then want to go into windows and set affinities for each application just to keep in line with the overclock. I found another program that lets you see the Per Core GHz, and it was the same since I did not set the cores individually
the best bet is probably to just go to the manufacturer's website and see if it gives instructions about OC'ing. Do you have the same CPU as mine?
