Best CPU Overclocking Software?

[ovidiudascalu.timisoara]

Hello! I want to overclock my 4460S but there is no option in BIOS becouse I buyed this PC from Lenovo. Do you know ANY software for Overclocking that supports Haswell becouse all I found on the internet supports up to Ivy Bridge? Thanks

Can't be oc'd. You need a k series cpu and z series motherboard.

The most you can do is force it via a hack to be 100mhz faster at max but the issues this brings and the amount of effort required + compatible equipment is not worth it since this involves hardware tampering/bios alterning which can easily break your board.

With an unlocked CPU Throttlestop 8.60 software allows control of Voltage and multiplier in Windows. I don't know which specific families of CPUs it supports. Also OEM motherboards often have CPU wattage limits that keep Extreme series CPUs from running.
If you go to userbenchmark.com and look for your system you can see if any K series CPUs are running. But it doesn't distinguish between tower. desktop, and SFF versions of the same system which may differ.

Here's a thread about this.

OEM computers may have limited power from the VRM on the MB so the overclock can vary quite a bit depending on cooling, and available power.
