Upgrading performance on a legacy i5 3330 CPU Non K Intel processors Old hardware challenges Modern techniques
You're aiming for a higher clock speed than what's typically seen on hardware bots, which usually hover around 115bclk. That suggests you might be targeting a more powerful processor or a high-end motherboard. Expect at least 105bclk minimum, but with a solid chip you could reach closer to 108bclk on air if the CPU is strong. A GB RAM board would be ideal, though a non-K CPU and modest BCLK changes won't drastically impact performance. The RAM modules should handle 2000+ lines smoothly, and most should support it without major issues. If you're unsure about the motherboard, removing the CMOS battery and resetting it by touching the CLR_CMOS pins with a metal object is a common fix for stability.
