Hi all
I currently have a Gigabyte B75m-D3H motherboard and am considering a 2500k for a mild overclock. I'm aware that the B75 chipset isn't designed for overclocking, but CMOS does allow me to adjust my base clock and multiplier. At the moment, I can only underclock which I imagine is because I'm running a Pentium G2030. The CMOS description for the multiplier states "adjusts the clock speed for unlocked CPUs", and previous BIOS versions of this board have also stated that overclocking enhancements have been made, so it certainly seems like it's possible.
The only concern is that I can't manually adjust the CPU voltage. I'm not looking at a huge overclock, something around 3.8-4.0Ghz will do very nicely. The question is, will the voltage issue kill any chance of an overclock?
Thanks in advance.
