I know that the G3220 haswell CPU is locked , and runs at 3000MHz , I am thinking of overclocking it to 3.1 GHz which is possible through FSB and have some extra Vcore for overclock to be successful , but how exactly do I do it?
I am not interested in the overclock , I am interested in just being able to overclock.
Help Appreciated.

Hi there, I managed to overclock the Pentium g3220 front side bus but on a Z87 chipset only.
As the multiplier is locked you cant do much really but all I did was slightly increase the voltages sent to the CPU and then I increased the front bus speed up ever so slightly as this CPU is not meant for overclocking.
If you have any question or would like any more detail please contact me
Hope this helps!


As I said :) I am not intrested in the overclock or the performance that woill come with it , I just want to know how to do it with this CPU :)
Hope you can help.
I know it's better than nothing , I won't be overclokcing it , I just want to learn how to.
 
I'm not too familiar with overclocking a locked CPU.
Ill have a look because I have a Pentium g3220 system as my server, ill have a little play around with it and see if I can increase the bus speed.
Ill get back to you soon
 


Thanks :) I appreciate the help :)

Thanks ! Hmmm Okay , But I have Intel® H81 Express Chipset , on Gigabyte H81M-DS2 Mobo , Can I do the same as you did?
 
For later reference: You will need a "Overclocking" motherboard such as the Z87 and Z97 motherboards with this CPU.
You can then adjust the base clock in the BIOS (Please note do not go any higher than 106MHz base clock as it is not recommended and will cause instability.
