Intel Core i5-3330 Overclocking with MSI H77MA-G43

[TheElectronicGeek1]

Hi i just wanted to know a easy way to overclock my Intel Core i5-3330 with a MSI motherboard H77MA-G43 i tried OC Genie II but that was useless i tried setfsb and i couldn't find my icss i even tried intel extreme tuning utility which i cant tune anything. Please help i tried just about everything i could to overclock.

Is it a k processor? If it is 3330 and not a K processor then I believe overclocking is not an option. You will have a locked multiplier/core ratio and your base clock is highly un adjustable. Please someone correct me if I am wrong as I have never personaly overclocked a gen 3 I series processor.

You can not OC your cpu to any meaningful degree.

A "K" suffix cpu like the 4670K or a 3570K has a unlocked multiplier which can be increased for improved performance.
Perhaps 20-25%. Such a cpu needs to run on a Z87 or Z77 based motherboard which will have a bios that allows the multiplier to be raised.

Other cpu chips may have overclocking limited to perhaps 2% by increasing other parameters.

This might say if mine is a k processor: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html

Your processor does not come in a K model only the standard 3330

So there isnt really a way to overclock my CPU?

Neither your cpu or your motherboard is suitable for overclocking.

On my motherboard i have things like OC Genie II (and click bios II) which is some auto overclocking thing
