Hey. I understand this CPU has a locked multiplier but I heard it can be overclocked some.

I read a site saying you clock the Blck at 105mhz and the multiplier to x38 I done this and it caused a lot of load lag on games and sound stuttering. I read that no voltage changing was required for this specific overclock so I dont know why it caused problems.

I then read that on the overclockers site:

***OVERCLOCKING GUIDELINES***

- Do not exceed 1.35-1.38v core voltage, doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Do not overclock with BCLK, again doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Recommended memory voltage is 1.50v, so make sure to run your memory at 1.50v, higher could limit lifespan of the CPU
- These recommendations come from OcUK and Intel, your warranty is un-affected but we highly recommend you adhere to the above to make sure your CPU lifespan is un-affected
- All Sandybridge CPU's worldwide should be run at the above or lower voltages, no higher!

Can anyone recommend a way to overclock this CPU?

Thanks.

Yes..Sell it or sent it back and buy a K series cpu if you want to overclock..

The 2500k oem costs only about £20 more then an i5 2400
(which is a very small extra outlay for 1000mhz+ extra speed ;) )

Yeah I know man but I already got this one so I'm not really interested in why the one I have sucks.

I know it's possible to slightly overclock this chip...

edit: Ahh.... :(
