Motherboard : MSI Z97 KRAIT SLI board
RAM : Crucial ballistix sport 8GB
Hi guys. I'm fairly new to the overclocking world and I was hoping you guys can help me. Recently I bought the Pentium G3258 for an aesthetic build. I had an LGA 1155 i5 3330 before. The reason for me buying the Pentium was that it was the cheapest lga 1150 socket type available that is compatible with the MSI KRAIT board, which is the reason for the aesthetic build (I'm quite fond of that black and white color). Of course, the Pentium being a less powerful processor being that it has 2 cores compared to my old i5's 4, i immediately found some issues popping up in games such as BF4 (terrible stuttering) and Warframe(fps drops, not that bad, but still noticeable).
Now from what I have heard, the G3258 shows amazing potential being that it is an unlocked cpu.
The problem is, I know next to nothing on how to overclock.
So I take some time to watch Linus's videos on overclocking. I was about to restart my PC and enter my BIOS to do as he did until I came across Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility. From there I was able to stress test my cpu at stock speeds and came to the conclusion that it was stable. Then I benchmarked my system and analyzed my results on HWBOT from the ETU and found others with similar specs that were able to get higher clocks.
The question is, can I download the profile settings that I found from someone else with an exact build and expect higher performance out of my CPU?
for reference, this is my profile from HWBOT : http://hwbot.org/xtu/analyze/2821723?recalculate=true
the default is the default settings and the other one is after I downloaded the profile
