over clocking G3258 with H97M pro4 HELP NEEDED ASAP

macelodeon · Feb 1, 2016

So I have been meaning to over clocking my G3258 for the full experience. So I have been exploring of places, and have come to that the H97M can not over clock unless it is the anniversary edition, but I have read that I can over clock the G3258 on almost any motherboard including this one. So I will post some pictures of the UEFI layout, if needed, so can someone tell me step by step how to over clock the G3258 with the current UEFI? I tried to follow all of the video tutorials, but I have not been successful. I have tried to use the A-tuner software from ASrock, but it does not work for some reason, on one side of the "page" it states "software is not supported" or something like that. but under that it states "Works with pentium anniversary" which I have (G3258 anniversary), in the end it did not work out, neither can I find any english tutorials on the internet that tells me how to use the program. If someone knows whats up can you do a full procedural writing on what I need to do to over clock? huge thanks

basically just change the clock speed multiplier to around 4ghz and then keep going up 100 mhz until the system wont boot, then stop down 100 mhz and run stress tests until its stable

Ive hear d that I also need to change the volt multiplier?

KLawinger · Feb 1, 2016

macelodeon :

set the voltage to ~1.2 and then set it to adaptive mode, you might not even have to mess with voltage if you're stable at around 4.3-4.4ghz

OK, I will go into my UEFI and take some pictures, I need you to tell me what I need to change, this would mean the world.

Under the OC tweaker scroll to the top and you sould see some kind of cpu clock speed multiplier, change that from 3200 to around 4400 if you can

Hm, i read around online that you need to do a bios update before you can overclock

Do you know what version I need/where I can get it? (link)

macelodeon :

i read this http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2755375/overclocking-g3258-asrock-h97m-itx.html

but to get the bios update then go to asrock.com and search your mobo until you find downloads then get the update

Pr0tEN · Feb 1, 2016

There should be a bios update,
and besides that,All MSI motherboards support Overclocking,even the cheapest ones.
I could overclock on my old H61-P23-B3 without problems,and i bought it for 15$

all I need to update is Intel SBA?? there seems to be nothing else to update? (and microsoft framework)

Pr0tEN · Feb 1, 2016

This is the update you need:
ftp://europe.asrock.com/BIOS/1150/H97M%20Pro4(2.00)WIN.zip

Pr0tEN · Feb 1, 2016

or that update if the other didn't fix your prblem:
ftp://europe.asrock.com/BIOS/1150/H97M%20Pro4(1.20)WIN.zip

macelodeon · Feb 1, 2016

Pr0tEN :

I can not open those links? (Europe) could you get it from this page? http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H97M%20Pro4/?cat=Download&os=BIOS

Pr0tEN · Feb 1, 2016

macelodeon :

The links i provided are from the same link,
Download Version 2.00 Windows,
And if that doesn't fix it try version 1.20 Windows

macelodeon · Feb 1, 2016

Pr0tEN :

So I have version 1.20 but when I click it everything runs, asks to restart, what ever, but nothing happens when I restart?

Because it finished installing the bios,try overclocking.

Like I said before, no changes to the bios, none, looks just like the pictures I posted.

I finally was able to force update the UEFI while in it... yeah fun. SO I FINALLY acheived The over clock to 4.2 ghz, heres a pic of when I was stress Testing the CPU for around 10m, should I do this for a longer period of time? also I just selected the option for a 4.2 Ghz and did not adjust the voltage at all, it automatically selected 1.279 V, is that fair?
