It's possible to overclock one CPU while not being able to do so for the other.
It's possible to overclock one CPU while not being able to do so for the other.
I think I found a B85I (7887) Gaming Mobo with recent BIOS updates. I had a G3258 CPU that was supposed to be overclockable, but I tried everything and couldn't make it work. Eventually, it became a bottleneck, so I replaced it with an i74790k and managed to basic overclock it out of curiosity. In the BIOS I adjusted the left voltage ratio, and everything seemed to function properly at that time. Now that I don't need to overclock it, I reset it back to default settings. But why couldn't I do the same with the G3258, or are there two versions of the same CPU?
