I know the i3 has a locked multiplier, but I've heard somewhere that you can up the base clock a teeny bit to squeeze some MHz out of the core. I'm running it on a MSI P67a GD65, that I bought for the xFire and future i5-2500K overclocking. Is there any way to make it faster?
 


What risks are there?

I'm in this 'nifty' clickbios, and nowhere do I see a FSB setting, do you have any experience with that? are there any alternate terms besides FSB clock?

It doesn't allow me to change it when I click or press enter. would you suggest 1mhz steps? Is there any way to stress test it?
 


I'd suggest not worrying about it because its not worth the hassle. Are the risks worth gaining an additional framerate or 2 (something you will never notice) ???
