Attempting to overclock an i7 4770 (non K) on a B85-G41 PC Mate using BIOS version 2.9
I've been checking around and most people agree you can overclock a non-K processor. I understand the risks and everything else, but I just want to be able to do it a bit. I tried increasing the core voltage by .035v, but it didn't seem to help with my PC specs.
I used to be able to use a non-K CPU until Haswell. Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge could be overclocked up to 400mhz on suitable motherboards... I did this with an i5-2400 and an i7 3770.
Your B85 board probably doesn’t have any OC options in the UEFI, so you’d need a Z87 or Z97 for that.
The only way would be to increase the base clock, which is just a waste of time, patience, and energy.
Don't run that CPU at 1.35v. There’s no reason unless you’re trying to possibly shorten its lifespan. Turn it down as soon as possible.
You need to increase the fsb, but I strongly advise against it. It adds an extra burden on your whole system, and the real overclocking wouldn't improve performance at all.

You can adjust the base clock, but it becomes unstable quite rapidly... only up to 2-3%... I don't think about it with the T & E.
