you can't - not really. the i3 has a "locked multiplier" so the only way would be to raise the base clock- Bclk and that is not advisable since you RAM and PCI bus (graphics) runs off that and would cause instability issues. you can go for a 3%-6% gain; raising it to 103 to 106 but that little won't make any difference at all.

If you want to overclock, get an i5 k series or an fx black edition processor. the i3s are locked.

You don't need to overclock the i3.

 

[Pieter_27]

why not???

I think its not neccesery overclocking ... Rather buy a new cpu... But i was just wondering

Should i get me a 7870 Or an i3 , motherboard and ram????

 

[amuffin]

Get an i3.

if you can get a 15 they are much better performance wise

 

[Pieter_27]

yes but it is like R1600 For an 3330 i5

 

[Guest]

you're fine.

you may get better performance in single threaded apps/games than a i5-3330 with the i3's slightly higher clock speed.
