Can you increase your CPU speed beyond its current limit? Your Intel Pentium G4400 is running at 3.30 ghz.
Can you increase your CPU speed beyond its current limit? Your Intel Pentium G4400 is running at 3.30 ghz.
Hello there! I have an Intel Pentium G4400 installed in an MSI H110M PRO-VH (MS-7996) motherboard. I enjoy playing GTA V and know it’s quite CPU demanding. My G4400 is currently running at 3.30 ghz, and I’m curious if there’s a way to push it a bit higher for slightly better performance.
Here are some pictures if you need more details about my setup:

If you have any further questions, feel free to leave them in the comments. I’d really like to run GTA V as smoothly as possible. Thanks a lot, Tom's Community!
OCing H110 boards comes with significant risks. Intel also didn't want their "entry-level" chipset to allow overclocking on B and Z series chips, fearing it would harm the market. To address this, Intel modified the microcode to stop users from overclocking on this chipset and non-unlocked CPUs. Some older BIOS versions work well for BCLK OC, but MSI offers a feature called "oc genie"—you might want to try it, though its performance is uncertain.
Unfortunately,
NO

For improved performance, you should use a special CPU with unlocked multiplier (marked by "K" in the model) and a motherboard featuring Intel B or Z chipset. To enhance gaming, consider reducing settings and turning off background processes or apps, or upgrade your system. Overclocking via FSB is possible on some CPUs if the motherboard supports it, but it may also affect SATA controller, PCIe bus, and RAM, which is not advised as it can damage your Windows installation.
There were several H110 motherboards capable of BCLK overclocking processors, including this notable achievement on an MSI H110M PRO-VD. However, you'd need a BIOS released before February 2016 since Intel updated its microcode at that time, which disabled the feature. BCLK only affects the CPU (FCLK, Uncore) and RAM—PCIe and other components remain unchanged. The side effect is that core temperature readings can't be accessed through any software. To confirm, you'd have to flash an older BIOS and check for the option, which would indicate if the board had the extra clock generator installed.
If the environment existed there, it would be directly under Ring Ratio in the "CPU BCLK Setting" category and labeled "CPU Base Clock (MHz)". Are you certain you're running an appropriate BIOS? If so, this H might indicate the absence of an external clock source, which would imply reliance on the internal one.
No, there isn't any "CPU BCLK Setting" involved. You might need an older BIOS version to make these adjustments.
