Accessing a G3258 using an A MSI H81M-P33 motherboard.
The box next to the CPU indicates auto and prevents changes. Updating BIOS didn’t help, even after installing Windows 10. Some users reported issues after updating Windows 10. I tried adding more RAM to the other computer, which improved performance from laggy gaming. A benchmark site mentioned the RAM was underperforming and suggested enabling BIOS under x.m.p. Despite reading manuals, watching videos, and using overclocking tools, nothing worked. I found a saved build that reaches 4.0 but turbo up to 5.0, which worries me. The benchmark site claims it exceeds expectations and is stable. Should I keep the current settings?
We offer a variety of temperatures and cooling options to suit your needs.
75c max temp on stress test. Uncertain about the cooler, probably the most affordable one. Purchased this machine for my wife's gaming needs off eBay for $315 including shipping. It was a brand new build, not used. I didn't assemble it. If you had more details on what to look for, I could help identify the right cooler. I know where it is, but not how to recognize it. I still want to upgrade it back to the 4.3 model.
I accidently picked a solution on that question. Think I was going to get a solution, I am a dummy I went back to the intel tool that is for the extreme cpu's and it said the cpu was locked again, so I clicked unlock and that just defaulted everything back to 3.2, so I reloaded the 4..0 that works. I am still worried about that turbo speed, the stress test didn't seem to kick that in. My wife gamed on it all day, with no problems. she didn't notice any difference. If she would have woke up to it be a 3.2 she would have noticed and flipped out on me. I am waiting on a 550w power supply to come in. I already bought a Msi 4 gig 380 graphics card. I am hoping this will get her off my back about lagging for a long time.
Did removing the "intel engine management" component cause any issues?
