can I overclock a G2020

Can you overclock a G2020 from 2.90ghz to 3.00ghz because one gan requiers 3.00ghz

If your motherboard allows changing the baseclock of the cpu, you could try doing that. Otherwise, you can't overclock it.

By the way, just because the system requirements say 3.00GHz, that doesn't mean it won't run on 2.9GHz. Just try running the game.

This ia my dads pc and we play crysis wars and he plays
On meduim just thought it would make a diffrence

100MHz on the CPU hardly makes a difference on any game. What's the rest of the specs of your dads pc? Maybe the GPU just isn't fast enough.

You can not overclock it. Even if you could 100Mhz translates to about 1/2 frame per second. There is no way you would notice. Even with benchmarking software it would fall within the margin of error.

Oky the specs is
Mobo: msi ph61-p33
Ram :4gb
Gpu:ati radeon hd 5450
Psu:aopen 550 watt

It would really be better
To push the cpu to 3.00ghz
Can anyone give me a guide
To overclok it with this mobo

The GPU is the bottleneck by far in this case. Upgrading that should give you quite a performance increase.

You would be better spending some cash on a new GPU as a 100mhz overclock won't make enough difference to make it worth it.

I would consider a new GPU to help boost some performance as overclocking here isn't worth it.

Oky thanks a lot I think your probably right about the GPU
So ill upgrade that I think the processor is right for now.

Will this G2020 bottleneck a Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5? I got the graphics card cheap from second-hand seller.

No it wont, will work without problems since you could run up to a r9 270x toxic without problems. If your mainboard can increase the BLCK of your CPU to 100-105 you can get around 200MHz or so but if the mainboard does not have this option you cant OC it even a little.

The mainboard I plan to use will be ASRock B75M-DGS, maybe someone might have it or done it before.

Increase BCLK at your own risk. It overclocks everything including USB and SATA and can damage components very easily. It should be set to 100 and left alone with Sandy and Ivy Bridge based systems.
