4th gen overclockable?

[Goncalo Lopes]

Which 1150 cpu's are overclockable? cus it would reeally be good to buy a i3 4130 and get the same performance of an i5

All of the CPUs that end with "K" are overclockable.

so any others are not overclockable?

From Intel, only the processors that end with "K" can be overclocked.

the 'k' chips have an unlocked multiplier which makes them easier to overclock, [strike]the others can be overclocked through the FSB and other methods, you have to get the right chipset on the mobo though.[/strike]

where can i find more info on this?

I retract my previous statement, i found on a bit of further reading that Intel has locked the ability to change the base clock on haswell processors, i'd go with an ivy bridge then where this is still doable...non k is essentially not overclockable as of haswell...not cool intel, not cool
