Help me OC?

[nodsterr]

I have an i3 4330 and would like to OC it just a tad bit. I have one of those huge coolermaster evo coolers so i should be fine with higher temps.

Really just looking to make my processor not such a bottleneck. Have a gtx760 and my cpu seems it can't keep up with it.

Thanks for any info.

You know its not an overclockable cpu? And it will be on a non overclocking motherboard?

To see if the cpu is 'bottlenecking', check whether its at 100% usage in Task Manager while the gtx760 is running at close to the limit.

I doubt your core i3 is bottlenecking your system. Processing seems to rarely be an issue compared to video capability. A gtx 760 is only a middle tier enthusiast class part, and so is the i3. That processor is rated higher than my Corei5-750 and I'm running gtx560s in crossfire at 1080p.

And no, you cannot overclock that processor. I believe you could bump the bclk a bit without burning out your motherboard, but not enough to make any kind of difference.
