Restarting BIOS reinitializes the OC after Windows loads.
Restarting BIOS reinitializes the OC after Windows loads.
I attempted to increase the overclock of my I5 4400 from its stock 3.1Ghz to 3.3Ghz, which wasn’t a huge jump but I noticed on Intel’s official site that this model could reach up to 3.3Ghz with Turbo boost. In BIOS, when I adjusted the multiplier to x33, there was a toggle for the custom clock; I pressed it, saved everything, and booted Windows. The system reset the OC after booting, but the uncore ratio stayed unchanged.
I looked into uncore ratio and found it should match the new clock speed. So I changed it to 3.3Ghz, but the ratio didn’t reset—only the regular overclock did.
I also tried the Intel software “Extreme Tuning Utility,” which let me set it to 3.3Ghz. However, when I closed and reopened the program, it returned to the stock speed, though the information tab showed 3.3Ghz and the slider was stuck at x31. In BIOS, toggling Turbo boost didn’t reset anything.
I couldn’t find similar settings in other AMD posts. I’m not worried about risking damage—I’m just hoping for an I7 soon.
P.S.: I didn’t change the voltage, as Intel says it’s safe to go up to 3.3Ghz without modifications.
I think I mixed up the images:/ 😅
I’m sorry for my first post here, xD.
Sorry for the poor English, but I believe you’ll understand.
Alright, the CPU doesn't support overclocking because it isn't a K-suffixed part. The speed you're observing is just a short-term increase in clock speeds, and that too is due to Turbo Boost allowing one or more processor cores to reach the advertised 3.3GHz. Even if you consider buying an i7 and using an i7-6700K, you'll still need a Z100/200 series board to enable any overclocking.

Even if you're thinking about buying an i7 and using an i7-6700K, you'll still need a Z100/200 series board for any overclocking attempts.
Kk thanks
