Wow. I've found posts indicating this combination cannot overclock, other posts saying it was done successfully, some saying it was successful after manipulation of a sys32 file, and now I'm confused and frustrated.
CPU = G3258
MoBo = GA-B85M-DS3H-A (v1.0, bios version = F3)
Regardless of what I've tried, I get one of two results:
1) Upon boot, the system hangs on the bios startup screen, or
2) Nothing displays and the system power cycles continuously.
Every time one of these results occur, I have to pull the battery from the motherboard, as the CLR_CMOS pins have never worked for me, which is a serious pain in my behind. The battery is under my GPU.
First attempt, I changed nothing other than CPU Clock Ratio to 4.0GHz. I have the same G3258 on an MSI H81I motherboard and this was literally the only thing I did to achieve 4.0GHz, so figured I would start simple. Failure.
I set CPU Clock Ratio to 4.0GHz and "K OC" to Enabled. Failure.
I set CPU Clock Ratio to 3.8GHz and "K OC" to Enabled. Failure.
I set CPU Clock Ratio to 3.8GHz and "K OC" to Enabled and CPU Vcore to 1.200V. Failure.
CPU Clock Ratio = 4.0GHz, K OC = Enabled, Uncore Frequency = 3.6GHz, CPU Vcore = Normal (1.102V), CPU Vcore Offset = 0.100V, CPU RING Voltage = Normal (1.050V), CPU RING Voltage Offset = 0.100V. Failure. This was based upon a youtube video from 2014.
I then found posts regarding removal of mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll, so I changed permissions, renamed it as .bak, re-tried the options above, same results.
I tried using Gigabyte's built-in "Easy Tune" software, same results.
Before I do any more sample runs, I'd just like to know if I'm wasting my time on something impossible, because as of writing this, I feel like it is.
Thank you in advance.
