How overclock i5 3470

[leandromg]

I want to perform my CPU by an overclock,
motherboard is ASUS P8H77-M.
CPU i5 3470
PSU 750 W
video card R9 280x
RAM GSkill 2400 2x4
Mushkin Chronos SSD 120gb

I could take CPU to 4 GHertz by overclock?

Hi,

This cpu cannot be overclocked, you need a "k" processor

Can't you still overclock it the oldschool way, by changing the base clock?
This method overclocks everything that is connected to the base clock, (RAM,PCI-e lanes,etc) read up about it.

The Core i5-3470 can be overclocked (see image below). But you need an overclocking-capable motherboard for it; H77 does not allow overclocking.

By any means?
Because the software that came with the motherboard, there is a utility that takes a little overclock, but I would take it to the 4 Ghertz

BCLK overclocking is very limited with the newer Intel chips. You can get maybe 5% if you're lucky.

Then, by adjusting the BCLK, could reach 4 GHertz without burning the motherboard? Yes or no question

 

[Sakkura]

No. You might reach 3.8 GHz if you're lucky.

as long as you have a mobo of z77 chipset or higher. you can tweak the BCLK up to 105 and fixed the voltage to 1.250 volts. I've done it and very stable. Someone got 107 BCLK and run the 3470 upto 4.22 - 4.35 Ghz with his asus extreme 4 mobo. It is posted to Intel extreme Utility Community.
