Restert loop after over clock of non-k cpu.

Asus Z97k

M E Version 9.1.1.1000
Bios Version 0330 x64
Build Version 2014

Not sure if this helps as to weather I can change the max turbo clock speed.
 
No Intel stopped it at some point on non K CPUs. Max all core turbo on 4790 can be increased to 3.8 from 3.6 where’s single core turbo is 4Ghz.
With bios mod (replacing CPU microcode with old one) all core turbo can be increased to single core turbo so 4Ghz.
i3 CPUs don’t even have turbo so it won’t make any difference at all so I don’t know how your i3-4330 can benefit in any way.

Haha sorry, you're spot on. I assumed that under normal circumstances not all cores could run @3.5ghz with 100% load, and that multi-core enhancement forced all cores to run at maximum frequency.

I agree but mostly also because the cost with a new case and motherboard completely out weighs the performance boost. Plus it's the non k.

Oops,but even with the non-K,as long as you have a better cooler than the stock cooler,I would try and raise the TDP limit as that should help with the CPU being able to boost a bit higher.

I will try to find a tutorial on how to do it but unless I'm mistaken a couple of people on this thread are discussing that its not possible to.
 
I changed the BLCK settings and my computer works fine once it is up and running... I Just started up my computer the next day and it was in a restart loop until I held down the power button to switch it off during the process and it started okay.

I changed the BLCK from auto to manual and then set it at 106.0 and this started happening so I changed it to 105.0 and it only does it twice before starting up on its own so obviously something in my computer doesn't like the over clock, oh well, I just set the BLCK settings back to default be fore shutting down the computer for the night and when I start it back I up I reset the computer to set the BLCK settings to desired numbers when I am gaming.

If anyone has any tips apart from not increasing the BLCK numbers? If not no worries and thank you.
