Can I Overclock the i5-4690t ?

[Lelantos]

Hi, I'm currently building my first ever gaming set up, and was wondering if I can overclock the i5-4690t from 2.5 ghz to 3.5 ghz.

Also, if you don't mind looking over my build, I'd appreciate it ( in particular, I don't know if I have selected the correct RAM)

Here is the rest of my build:

Mobo: MSI H81-E34 Micro ATX

RAM: 8GB DDR3 SDRAM 1333 MHz DIMM 240-pin (from here:

Hard Drive: WD 1TB 7200rpm

GPU: GTX 960 (either EVGA SC or PNY 4gb OC) from a 2nd hand source

PSU: Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Case: Deepcool TESSERACT BF ATX Mid Tower Case

You cannot overclock it. It will automatically run @ 3.5ghz from it's turbo speed when needed.

I highly recommend getting a better psu.

Thanks.

Do you mean a psu with a higher wattage, or a different make? If the former, then how high?

I mean a better quality model. Avoid the cheap Corsairs like the VS, CS, and CX

Do you think an XFX TS 430W would be any better?

Thanks again for the advice

Yes the XFX is better. 430w doesn't give you a lot of upgrade room though.
