Overclock i3 3220

Hello, how can I overclock i3 3220 ? is there any way to do that ?

You can only overclock it by adjusting the base clock (BCLK) of your system. That doesn't scale much because it will overclock your other components too.

okey.. so it´s possible then? not much, but possible... I will be glad if I can push it up to 3,5 GHz

 

[Sakkura]

I'm sorry to say, but you should be happy just to get it to 3.4 GHz.

I wouldn't mess with the BLK anyways.
if you want to overclock then sell it and get a K series chip.
making your unit possibly unstable for less than a 5% performance increase is not wise..

you´re right ... Im not going to do that.... better leave it like that and later buy something better tnx

disable 'speed spectrum' option in the BIOS.
there your BLK will stay @ 100 instead of fluctuating.
you can do that now with your i3.

and when you get the K series chip come on back and we'll clock her up...
