: Non-K Sandy Bridge on a D2991-1A Mobo
I have this system:
Intel Core i5-2400 @3.1Ghz
10GB DDR3 RAM @1333Mhz
MSI GTX 1050Ti 4gb OC (dual fan, dual Slot Version)
Fujitsu D2991-A1
Crucial BX500 240gb 6GB/s SSD
500GB Hitachi HDD
My BIOS is :V4.6.4.0 R1.10.0 for D2991-A1x
appears modified by Fujitsu and lacks any OC options. (CPU power mode seems intact)
On HWiNFO64 I just see:
"Maximum Clock Supported: 3800 MHz"
…which is a bit higher than expected.
I noticed some performance issues in certain games where I plan to perform an OC on the CPU. (Battlefield 1, Planetside 2, Msi Kombustor also experience bottlenecks)
The CPU runs at full capacity while the GPU is around 80% across all applications.
Is there a method to modify it? I’ve heard about adjusting the multiplier, but I need a BIOS that supports those changes.
My current setup doesn’t include that feature.
There are also some images from HWiNFO64 attached:

Additionally, there is a PDF containing details about the D2991-1. It mentions an extra EEPROM that can restore a damaged BIOS using a jumper.
No available options exist for that CPU, as it's restricted by Intel. You can slightly increase performance using BCLK and turbo settings, both of which are recognized as overclocking methods. These adjustments can push the speed up to around 3.8GHz, though BCLK should be avoided because it impacts all PCIe speeds, SATA speeds, RAM rates, and may cause data corruption since these components aren't built for such usage.
You're dealing with a 4-core i5 processor. Titles like BF1 and Planetside 2 benefit from eight threads, so expect the CPU to reach its maximum capacity.
MSI Kombuster is designed to stress-test GPUs.
The BIOS isn't tailored for this specific CPU; it's intended for motherboards that support faster CPUs. It can accommodate a CPU running at 3.8GHz, but that doesn't guarantee compatibility or performance at that speed.
This model is an i5-2500 and will not exceed its original specifications. Fujitsu motherboards typically lack overclocking capabilities.
