Overclock-ability with the G4560 3.5 GHz Dual Core CPU?

Overclock-ability with the G4560 3.5 GHz Dual Core CPU?

I'm pretty comfortable with this build, this processor wont bottleneck the graphics card, but i wont upgrade to RX 170 Since want to make this a budget-gaming upgrade with some parts i will use from my current PC.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/qTCsgL

I want to know if that motherboard is built to overclock this cpu to full capacity.
If not, can someone please configure this build to overclock the cpu to max which is compatible with the motherboard, while still keeping that £300 Price range.

Thanks,

-HybridWolf

good, a valid license

if you really want to keep the hard disk and you already have the mainboard

the only question is if the case you got for fre has a psu in it

the mainboard you have, what is the exact model? msi b250?

to make the list more understandable

hard disk is samsun 160gbs

mainboard b250

case unknown brand but already have it

psu, unknown

no cpu or ram already purchased?

any gpu?

 

[HybridWolf]

I can get my motherboard info from cpuid cpu-z which is the AsusTeK P5G41C-M LX ( also seen at http://valid.x86.fr/yj2nqs )

My current GPU Is the Intel G41 Express Chipset

My current CPU Is the Intel Celeron E3400 ( Overclocked yesterday to a max of 3.4 GHz from stock of 2.6 )

My current PSU is... I don't know. Near where the PSU Is however, is a sticker saying " AC 230V ROHS " And i'm not willing to remove my case but if that is needed, then I will.

My current ram is ( Again, from cpuid-cpu-z ) One of them is 4 Gb Ram from Transcend Information and the second one is 2 Gb from an unknown manufacturer.

( Edit : Just realized the question a bit more, if you are asking for the new specs on the PC, I'll make another list.

the mainboard, rma and cpu are well, old, possibly ddr2 or ddr3

for the new build i would buy ram, mainboard and cpu

the psu is a concenrn, if it is old and bad it is better to buy another, 450 or 500 watts psu is safer than an old psu with no readable information anywhere

your budget 3210 euros correct?

for ram, mainboard, cpu, thats it correct?

it seems to be too little to get a gpu but if you don't want to play games, it is not important

 

[HybridWolf]

The new PC will have :

CD Drive : From my current PC
CPU : Pentium G4560
GPU : Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mini
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H Micro ATX LGA1151
Memory : 2x4 GB DDR4-2400 Memory
Storage : 160 GB Samsung HDD
CPU Cooler : Stock CPU Fan that comes with CPU
Case : Case from current PC, Might have to upgrade if it's too small.
Power Supply : 500W 80+ Certified Cooler Master B500.
OS : Windows 8


Link to parts >>> https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/4CTwXH ( I will just buy the 500W PSU, don't feel comfortable with my current PSU.

Budget of £310, exceeded to £342

Also, for the original budget, in euro's that is 370.6 Euro.
The final budget came out to £342 which in euro is 408.9 Euro.

( I'm using Great British Pound for currency )

i would change the zotac for a evga but perhaps is more a personal preference than anything

the current case, is it from a dell pc or something like that?

 

[HybridWolf]

Not sure, My monitor is Acer so i presume my PC Was originally acer or dell. I'll contact you if i know more.

Also, try and answer my new forum question here. > http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3393944/advertised-refresh-rate-monitor.html

 

[atljsf]

i ask about the case because if it is a weird dell or hp model of case that can't acomodate any other mainboard you could need psu and case too

 

[HybridWolf]

Also, the EVGA 1050 Ti uses 45 More watts than the Zotac, Core and Boost speeds on the EVGA are only .6-1.0 Better in MHz, i'll overclock the Zotac one anways.

#Science&PersonalPreference

( Also its literally 70 mm more in length, #Zotac )

 

[atljsf]

are you comparing the zotac to this one?

http://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-6253-KR

they are identical, but evga atm has better reputation, i have nothing against zotac, at all but i do like evga much

 

[HybridWolf]

No, I was comparing it to https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/yT7CmG/evga-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-ftw-gaming-acx-30-video-card-04g-p4-6258-kr

 

[atljsf]

the new pc picture is alot more clear now, you have a plan to build a pc and a budget, you have specific part models and brands

my concern now would be the psu, perhaps you can reuse it with the case but is possible that is very old and you need another, consider buying a evga 450 watts psu, or a corsair same value, other big brands on that value are options too

 

[HybridWolf]

I updated my graphics card to the evga since it has 2 fans and higher speeds for only £2.

[atljsf]

on this particular model the two fans are not vital, this car runs very cool, that is why you se a bunch of 1 fan models but if it runs cooler, more silent and you can overclock it a bit harder, well, welcome those features are

the only doubt that remains is the case, if it can be reused or not

 

[HybridWolf]

What case do you suggest I buy as a backup if my current case doesn't support all the stuff I'm going to throw in it?

 

[atljsf]

it depends on your needs and budget, i personally like corsair so a 100r or a m2 could be nice

a nzxt or a inwin 301 could be options too, it does dpeend on your visual preferences and budget

 

[HybridWolf]

I don't mind about budget that much, neither about visual styles, just about how much you can fit in it. Since I somehow switched to a £2 higher GPU card but somehow reduced prices by £30, max budget I'd spend on a case that can fit all this stuff would be £40.

 

[HybridWolf]

Edit Figured out why price dropped, the PSU was bought, now I have to search for a different one 🙁

Researching the heck out of parts and such pays off.

I will buy all parts except PSU and case to see if my PC can handle it, those parts are a backup if my current PC doesn't have the right physical dimensions to hold all this.
