Ok, I'm new at overclocking but since my cpu starts pulling me down in some games i would like to try to overclock.
OS: Win7
CPU: i5 2500K
Mobo: Gigabyte PH67-DS3 B3
I KNOW, PH67 is locked etc etc BUT, in the manual it says:
"GIGABYTE PH67-DS3-B3 motherboards is designed and engineered to deliver exceptional performance and clarity for your computing needs. Powered by the Intel® P67 chipset with support for 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processors, GIGABYTE PH67-DS3-B3 enjoy uniquely developed technologies such as Smart 6 , DualBIOS technology and Ultra Durable 2 design just to name a few, that ensure a reliable and enjoyable computing experience."
So after looking around i noticed that i couldn't change the clock ratio to more than x37, however i can change the BCKL but as i understand it from reading lots of other posts that wouldnt not be a good idea.
I also had a friend telling me there's some switch on the mobo (dont know if he was talking about a button or an other place to rewire the cables to, sorry for lack of English knowledge when it comes to overclocking terms ). was he misleading me or is there a way to allow me going over x37 by using this switch?
Is updating bios an option?
Thanks for your time, i will appreciate all help that i can get.
With Best Regards, Jesper.
