Cannot Overclock Pentium G3220 on GA-H81M-H Motherboard - And What Should I OC It To?
Hello,
I've attempted to adjust the BIOS of my Gigabye H81M-H and changed my Pentium G3220 to 3.0GHz to address the bottleneck (it's just a temporary fix). When I reached the section for adjusting CPU frequency, it refused to proceed, stating I needed a K model CPU, even though others have successfully OC'd the same processor. If I can manage the overclocking, what clock speed would be ideal for me? I have a 600W power supply.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day.
Initially, I wouldn't recommend using the motherboard for overclocking. Additionally, it was feasible to overclock Non-K Haswell/Pentium LGA 1150 processors up to 400 Mhz at first, but this option is now turned off and unavailable. You can still overclock with the G3258, though not with the G3220.

A suitable OC motherboard for Intel must include a minimum of four power phases along with VRM cooling.
Here are some useful links to explore:

Generally, more power phases improve overclocking performance. Most Z97 motherboards (excluding certain H97 models) should have at least four genuine power phases with VRM support.
For AMD FX 8xx processors, a minimum of eight true VRM phases is recommended.
