Can I increase the clock speed of this device?
I have a h81m-ds2v mATX motherboard LGA 1150, wondering if it can overclock an i5 4690k. I understand it would be limited and won’t perform as well as a z97. However, some people say no while others say yes. In the BIOS there are options to adjust the multiplier and vcore. Some claim it only works with the Pentium G3258, but I found this information in the manual (picture included). Just a note, I haven’t actually received the 4690k yet, but I’m getting a great deal on it, so I thought it was worth trying.
As long as VRM temperatures stay stable, you can add heatsinks, that's what you should consider.
Track the data using Hwinfo64 in sensor mode—it provides a wealth of details. Also, check the BIOS for temperature readings.
Increasing VRM capacity improves stability at the Vcore level (if you're correct).
Use heatsinks to maintain a consistent temperature.
Also verify the north bridge and south temperature setting (the large heatsink on the bottom right). Which one got hot for me on the G41 motherboard with a 775 socket.
Sure, here are some recommended heatsinks for your VRM. You mentioned exhaust fans on either side of the top left corner—make sure they’re correctly identified before choosing a model.

Similar to this.
Just get the sticky thermal pad.
And make sure to have airflow across them, and watch the VRM temps.
Surley you wont hit 5GHz but you will OC good enough.
I’m considering a modest boost, around 4.0 or 4.2 GHz, not too aggressive. Since you’re just starting out, this should be a gentle step.
