Are there any chances to adjust or boost the multiplier on that CPU? The situation might have shifted with newer CPUs. My i5 3570 works at 4ghz across all four cores, and it even supports setting 42 multipliers, though it sometimes behaves oddly. Check the BIOS for available options. Unless you plan a GPU upgrade, your CPU shouldn't be the limiting factor.
You could likely tweak the base clock slightly, though it won't make much difference for a locked CPU. It can boost up to 3.3ghz. You might be able to raise the base clock from 100mhz to 104 or 105mhz. At 105mhz with a 33x multiplier = 3.46ghz. The base clock influences memory, PCIe speeds, etc., and usually doesn't exceed high speeds before instability sets in. For meaningful overclocking, you'll need a K series CPU on that Z97 board—such as 4670k, 4690k, 4770k or 4790k.
Thank you for your quick replies. For upgrading, here are some tips on what to consider. Regarding overclocking in Mafia 3, you're likely thinking about performance improvements—though "improve" isn't a standard term there.
Is there any chance to modify or boost the multiplier for that CPU? The situation might have shifted with newer generations of CPUs. My i5 3570 operates at 4ghz on all four cores and even supports setting up to 42 multipliers, though it sometimes behaves oddly afterward. Check the BIOS for available choices. Unless you plan a GPU upgrade, your CPU shouldn't be the limiting factor.
Do you have the chance to adjust or boost the multiplier for that CPU? The situation might have shifted with newer CPUs. My i5 3570 runs at 4ghz on all four cores, and it even supports a 42 multi setting, but then it starts behaving oddly. Check the BIOS for available options. Unless you're planning a GPU upgrade, your CPU shouldn't be the main issue.
