Have i oced correctly???
Have i oced correctly???
So I have a G3258 and I want to overclock it. I went through the Asus H81 gamer settings, changing only a few things: vcore voltage to 1.31v, CPU multiplier to 41 (because of the 1.31v), and cache multiplier stayed the same. After running stress tests, the CPU is stable at 4.1ghz. Everything looks fine except for one issue – my CPU bottlenecks a lot in many games, and compared to YouTube videos with just a bit more overclock, they perform much better. My GPU is R9 270x and I’m getting around 30 fps in Battlefield 3. I see youtube videos showing stable 60fps. What’s going on?
I have a g3258 that I want to overclock. I went through the mobile settings (Asus H81 gamer) and only changed a few things: vcore voltage to 1.31v, CPU multiplier to 41 (because of the 1.31v), and cache multiplier stayed the same. After running stress tests, the CPU is stable. The CPU-Z shows 4.1ghz, and everything looks fine. The only issue is that my CPU bottlenecks a lot in many games, and compared to your YouTube videos with just a slight overclock, they perform much better. My GPU is R9 270x, and I’m getting around 30 fps in Battlefield 3. I wonder what’s going on? Maybe you came unlucky in the "Chip Lottery" and don’t handle overclocking well.
I have a g3258 and I want to overclock it. I changed a few settings in the mobile settings (Asus H81 gamer): vcore voltage to 1.31v, CPU multiplier to 41 because of the higher voltage, and cache multiplier stayed the same. After running stress tests, the CPU is stable with a speed of 4.1ghz. Everything seems fine except for one issue—my CPU bottlenecks a lot in many games. When I compare to YouTube videos that show only slightly higher overclocking, they perform much better. My GPU is R9 270x and I’m getting around 30 fps in Battlefield 3. I wonder what’s going on? Maybe you didn’t get lucky with the "Chip Lottery"—some people struggle with overclocking and it could be worse. My HD7770 gets more frames than that on Battlefield 3, so I’d suggest adjusting the multipliers a bit to find the best setting.

I have a g3258 and I'm trying to overclock it. I adjusted the vcore voltage to 1.31v, set the CPU multiplier to 41, and kept the cache multiplier unchanged. After running stress tests, the CPU is stable with a consistent 4.1ghz. Everything seems fine except for one issue: my CPU bottlenecks significantly in many games. When I compare to YouTube videos that only have a slight overclock, they perform much better. My GPU is R9 270x and I'm getting around 30 fps in Battlefield 3. I wonder what's happening?
You might have been unlucky with the "Chip Lottery"—some people don't handle overclocking well and it could be worse. My HD7770 (1GB) gets more frames than that on Battlefield 3, so I'd recommend you did the same. However, it seems you might have gotten unlucky with that chip. You could try tweaking the multipliers a bit, as there might be an optimal setting for each chip.
I only use about 40% GPU power even when CPU usage is at 100%.
BF3 Online multiplayer??
Yes, it can result in low FPS often. It's a heavily multi-threaded game and struggles with dual-core processors.
BF3 Online multiplayer??
Yes, it usually gives low FPS often. It's a heavily multi-threaded game and doesn't perform well on dual-core processors. I know it's CPU-intensive, but some people on YouTube claim they achieve 60 FPS at 4.4 GHz. Is that true?
Rejects this idea, though it seems focused on simple maps with 16 players or fewer. High-performance setups with hyper-threading may face issues, and at least a quad-core processor is necessary to maintain 50-60 frames per second.

You might have been unlucky with the "Chip Lottery"—some people don’t handle overclocking well and it can make things worse. My HD7770 1GB gets more frames than that on Battlefield 3, so I’d recommend you did it. Unfortunately, you might have gotten unlucky with that chip. Maybe try tweaking the multipliers a bit, as there might be a better setting for stability.
You were right! I lowered the overclock to a more stable 3.8GHz around 1.5V, and it’s been much steadier in games now. It turns out my chip is really bad—can’t get anything stable above 4.1GHz without going over 1.3V. Damn unlucky!
