- What if you have an old CPU, which level of performance is not high enough, and you do not want to
replace it with a new one, especially if it is necessary to replace a motherboard and RAM modules too? Then overcloсking your CPU and RAM may help to increase the level of performance of your PC. Just do not forget about cooling - you will need a decent CPU cooler at the very least.

You can also delid the lynnfield xeons for lowering temperatures, the i7/ i5 / i3 have soldered IHS but all xeons are still glued in. I got about -15celsius after delidding my x3470. And now i can overclock 0.2ghz higher safely. One more thing the Tcase temperature is measured under the IHS, you cannot see the temperature in operating system, it usually is about 10celsius cooler than core temperature, so basically less than 85celsius should be fine, atleast from my experience never had a lynnfield fail when i stay under this. Very cool video and new info expecially the part about x3440/x3450 northbridge frequency.
I'm pretty confident the i7/i5/i3 are soldered. I delided a few of them and it was for sure thermal paste. Same for the xeons.
Maximum Tcase temperature is 72.7C, not the same as Tjunction which can safely be far higher as long as Tcase is kept below 72.7C.
You are right. Tjunction temperature for these CPUs is somewhere between 90-95 °C. But it is not safe to use CPU when it is so hot. It may be damaged. Tcase is a recommended safe temperature for everyday use.
Best tutorial ever, thank you so much good sir
You're very welcome!
Thanks bro! really cool video. I have same Asus board with lame i3-540. so a x3470 will be huge upgrade. Do you think I should buy 4x4 GB or 2x8 GB Dimms? I heard that 4 Dimms may run in Quad-Channel vs Dual-Channel mode, for more bandwith, but then 2x8 might be easier to overclock. I wanna buy Mushkin DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24. Also, check out SNOWMAN CPU cooler on Ali-Express, it's VERY cheap but allegedly pretty good one.
Hi! Thank you. Yes, X3470 is a much better CPU than i3-540.
I would choose 2x8 GB if these modules are not too expensive in comparison with 4x4 GB. Many MoBos have problems with memory overclock when all 4 DIMM slots are occupied. Usually it is easier to overclock 2 modules.
Snowman MT-6 is good cooler, but it is less effective than some more massive coolers with 5 or 6 copper pipes and copper plates.
you're very helpful :) you earned my sub!
You are welcome!
Just wanna say this is the best tutorial to oc 1156 cpu so far and im following it rn. But i have a question im using an msi p55 gd45 and an i5 750 and aiming for at least 3.8 to 4.0 oc. Lets assume i could do 3.9 stable do you think thats a safe oc for this motherboard?
I am really glad I could help.
As concerns your motherboard, it is a basic model with just a few power phases and without a VRM heatsink. It's ability to function stable and safe at 3,9 GHz will depend a lot on the CPU voltage. Some i5 samples can easily hold 3,9 GHz at 1,25 V (or even lower), which should be OK for this board. But even in this case I would recommend to install a custom heatsink or at least a fan, which will be cooling a VRM of the board.
If your i5 will need more than 1,25 V, I would say stay within this limit and reduce core frequency a bit to ease up on the board.
Thank you for posting this video! Do you think I can also overclock my x3470 on a ASROCK P55 PRO with a Deepcool Gammax 400 as my heatsink?
You are welcome. Yes, of course. You have a decent MoBo. Gammax 400 is not the best cooler for old Xeons, but it is good enough to let X3470 achieve something around 3,6-3,7 GHz. I'd recommend not to exceed 1,25 V.
Re Hi~ SSG~
I enjoyed your UA-cam video.
I have Questions about M/B.
I know that the main board of Asrock p55 Exteme4 can originally use up to 16 gigabytes of RAM, but it can actually use up to 32 gigabytes per RAMslot, recognizing 8 gigabytes per RAMslot.
By any chance, do you know that the ASUS P7P55D-E board series also recognizes 8 gigabytes for each Ramslot?
p.s
I got a used Galaxy GTX 1080ti HOF Epic!!!
Hi. Thanks.
I think that it is a CPU which recognizes RAM. In case of LGA 1156 memory controller is inside CPUs, so the amount of supported RAM will mostly depend on it.
According to the official Intel site, all X34XX Xeons support up to 32 GB of RAM.
But if you want to use 32 GB of RAM, I would recommend to choose dual rank modules. Just in case.
Hi I would like to thank you for these informative videos I'm a older guy that has an Asus P7H55-M PRO and wondered how to boost it from the CPU in it now....may I ask what Graphics\video card you are using I run Linux as my OS....thanks from a guy in Canada :) that has subscribed
Hi! You're very welcome! I'm using GTX 1660. I was choosing between this one and RX 590. In my opinion either of these cards is an optimal choice for these old CPUs (if you are an owner of a 1080p display).
Hi! Thank you for the video! Just have some questions before I get started OC'ing. Maybe you can help? :) It's not easy finding information about overclocking these old CPU's. I have the ASUS P7H55-V motherboard with a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo. It looks like the cooling for the VRM is smaller on this board than the P7P55D. Do you still think it's an OK motherboard to overclock with? I hope the CPU cooler should be sufficient. The CPU is an I7 870. I'm currently running the auto OC at 3.3Ghz and the temperature is around 41°C idle. I'm going to repaste it with Noctua NT-H1. Hopefully that will help. It has not been repasted for years. How much OC is possible, while stable? 4Ghz? :) I have 3 intakes, and one exhaust in the case, so hopefully that is ok. I'm running 32GB of RAM in quad channel, but it only clocks in at 1333Mhz, is it possible to run it at 1666Mhz? The ram is labeled 1600Mhz. Ballistix BLS8G3D1609DS1S00.16FND. Timing 9 - 9 - 9 - 24. Best regards, Ulvens. :)
Hi! Glad I could help.
1) The bigger is the VRM, the better. But small VRM should still be capable to provide some overclocking potential. Make sure your VRM is not overheating. Let your CPU run any stress test and try to carefully touch VRM heatsink. If it is too hot and burns your fingers, reduce the CPU frequency/voltage.
2) Each CPU sample is different, so I can not say for sure, what is the best result for yours. Typically 870s can be overclocked to 3,5-4,2 GHz, depending on their condition and silicon quality. So if you want to know what is the best settings for your sample, you have to determine it by yourself.
3) BLS8G3D1609DS1S00 is a decent memory model. It should easily run at 1666 MHz and even higher. 1333MHz is a maximum base RAM clock frequency for LGA 1156. But you can overclock RAM up to 2000-2100 MHz. Just do not forget about timings. Increasing RAM frequency usually demands to increase timings too.
@@starstreamgamer3704 Thank you for the response! I'll tell you how it went. :)
Wish you could do a video on how to overclock the i5 750 on a GA-p55m UD2
i5s, i7s and Xeons are basicaly the same CPUs. So there is no difference between them in terms of overclocking method.
As to the Gigabyte board, it's one of the most affordable P55 MoBos with just a few phases and without any heatsinks. If you want to OC your i5-750 on this board, I'd recommend to provide as intensive cooling as possible. i5 is bit less power hungry due to the lack of HT, but I'd still suggest to stop at 3,6 GHz or lower.
Starstream Gamer only problem is am new to overclocking so idk what to change in the bios tho
There is not much difference between Asus MoBo and Gigabyte in terms of BIOS looks. Majority of settings are exactly the same.
Starstream Gamer I manage to get it to 3.2 ghz only but when I try to overclocl it to 3.6 it just gives me a error saying overclocl fail due to power, idk how but I have 700watt, it shouldn’t be power failure.
It might still be the power supply fault. If it is old, it may cause some stability issues.
If your PS is new, then the problem is probably in your MoBo.
At first, try to overclock only BCLK and lower CPU multiplier down to a minimum.
i guess cpu voltage at 1.265 for 3.4GHz is unecessary then
Well, usually, yes, it is unnecessary. But it depends on the quality and condition of a certain chip. Some rare samples might be very inefficient.
Hi,
after watching your interesting video, I would like to overclock my old PC but I'm scared about the voltage changing and temperatures.
I've a p7p55 LX Mobo and a i7 870 with standard cooling fan. which parameter i could change in order to increase a little bit the performance of my old PC? I've 8 Gb of RAM (2x4). Thanks.
Hello.
What do you mean by "standart cooling fan"? Intel’s stock cooler? What RAM model do you have? What is the current temperature of your CPU (idle and under load)?
Your motherboard is not the best one for CPU overclocking. It has only a few VRM power phases and no heatsinks. With a decent CPU cooler you could perform a moderate CPU overclock (up to 3,2-3,4 GHz, depending on the specific CPU sample).
But you can still overclock RAM and memory controller. Let me know what CPU cooler and RAM you use and I will try to offer you the best solution for overclocking your PC.
@@starstreamgamer3704 Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The ram is Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1600C9 XMS3 Kit di Memoria da 8 GB (2x4 GB), DDR3, 1600 MHz, CL9
Standard cooling means that there is just the intel fan on the small heat exchanger of the i7 that is 1 cm height. I will try to take a picture this evening.
This is a decent memory model. It can be easily overclocked. Not sure what is the maximum frequency your modules can reach, but I believe that they should work flawlessly at 1900 MHz.
So if you want to overclock your system without raising CPU temperature, you should do the following steps:
1) Boot BIOS
2) Go to "Ai Tweaker" tab
3) Set "Ai Overclock tuner" to "Manual"
4) Then set the following setting as shown below:
CPU ration setting - 16
BCLK frequency - 188
DRAM frequency - DDR3-1880 MHz
DRAM voltage - 1,65
All other parameters should be set to "Auto".
5) Then go to "DRAM timing control" and change a few options as follows:
DRAM CAS# latency - 10
DRAM RAS# to CAS# latency - 10
DRAM RAS# PRE time - 10
DRAM RAS# act time - 28
6) Go to "Exit" tab and press "Exit & save changes" -> "Yes"
7) Try to boot your PC. Launch AIDA64 stablility test. Watch for CPU and MoBo temeratures. CPU temp should be less than 75 °C, MoBo temp should be less than 50 °C.
P. S. If your PC is not able to boot, don't worry, just press the "MemOK!" button, which is located in the upper right corner of your MoBo (right above 24-pin power connector). It will let you load BIOS default settings. Then you should change some settings as follows:
CPU ration setting - 17
BCLK frequency - 177
DRAM frequency - DDR3-1770 MHz
DRAM voltage - 1,65
DRAM CAS# latency - 10
DRAM RAS# to CAS# latency - 10
DRAM RAS# PRE time - 10
DRAM RAS# act time - 28

Can I overclock my i7 870 from 2.9 ghz to around 3.5 or even higher ? My motherboard is p7p55d-e
Yes, you can. You have a very good MoBo.
Hello, I have the same mobo and prosessor as urs and i copy ur oc settings but some how my temperature is always High strees test can hit 80° and motherboard temperature is also high on idle. So I lower the clock and the voltage but temperature still high even at 3.6ghz it can get 50-60° in idle and the same with motherboard temperature. I touch the vrm and it was so hot. Can you explain I'm having this issues? Did my motherboard broken or something.
Hi. CPU temperature depends on the quality and the size of a CPU cooler. These old Xeons, when overclocked, need big coolers, which can dissipate all the heat that creates a CPU.
MB temperature slightly depends on a CPU cooler, but it mostly depends on airflow intensity in your PC case - you need to install more fans and/or increase the speed of the fans you already have.
Nice work
Can every x3470 reach 4ghz if not what is the average ghz can x3470 go ?
I'm trying to build x3470 with rx580
Is there any bottleneck if i can't overclock the cpu to 4ghz ?
Hi. Thanks. From my own experience about 90% of these old Xeons can reach 4.0 Ghz without any problems. The only difference is that some of them need only 1.3 V, while others may need up to 1,35-1,4 V.
RX 580 is an optimal choice for this CPU. There are a few games where X3470 (OCed to 3,6-3,8GHz) will be a small bottleneck. These are the games, which can utilize only 4 threads, like Far Cry 5 and New Dawn, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Minecraft etc. While in many other games your GPU will be a bottleneck most of the time. To make this CPU a strong bottleneck at 1080p, you need at least GTX 1080 or RX 5600 XT.
@@starstreamgamer3704thank you for answering 🙂
What type of motherboards that can provide good energy for 4ghz overclocking ?
Those based on P55 chipset with a pair of heatsinks should be a decent choice. Some of the MoBos based on H55 chipset are good too, but their power system may not be able to provide enough power for X3470 @4GHz.
Ever time I over clock it says there was an error and takes away the over clock it dosent let me boot with the settings I put in I have a i7 870 mobo ga-p55a
The problem might be in either your CPU or MoBo. Have you lowered the memory and the CPU multipliers before raising BCLK frequency? What BCLK value did you try?
Good afternoon I have an i5 750 and a 1050 ti 4gb motherboard DP55WB you can overclock if yes which cooler recommends me to buy right now I appreciate it I want to overclock because I can't run Fallout 76 well
Hi! This MoBo has a pretty poor VRM quality. It's hard to recommend overclocking using this board. You can try, if you wish, though. I think it should have all the needed funtionality for OC. A mild overclocking of 750 should not be a problem for this board, like 3,2-3,5 GHz. And do not forget about RAM, overclocking RAM does improve performance as well.
For this kind of OC any tower cooler with 4 copper heat pipes should be enough.
hola si subo la frecuencia base del xeon x3440 de 2.5 a 3 cuantos grados sube tengo temperatiras de 40 estables y 60 max con el 3440 sube mucho si lo dejo en 3,0?
A CPU temperature mostly depends on the voltage level. If you will be able to keep the same voltage level at 3,0 GHz, then the temperature will be just a little bit higher (+2-3 °C). But if you have to increase voltage in conjunction with frequency, then you should expect significantly higher CPU temperature (+7-10 °C), depending on how high the voltage will eventually be increased.
But 3,0 GHz is not too high frequency for X3440, so I do not think you should worry about it's temperature. Usually X3440s need just a little bit higher voltage to reach it. Some "golden" samples can function at 3,0 GHz at a very low voltge level. So you should try by yourself.
@@starstreamgamer3704 Thank you very much bro, I really appreciate it a lot. But could you please tell me how much voltage it would be to leave it at 3 or in how many ghz do you recommend leaving it. Mine is in stock 2.53 and it gives me normal but I would like to raise it a little so that it is more stable and that it does not get so hot, thanks
The exact voltage level depends on a certain CPU sample. For example one can function at 1,20 V while the other one may need 1,25 V to function at the same frequency.
What you can do is leave the voltage at "Auto" and detect the real voltage value, set by your motherboard. Then you can try to lover voltage down by one or two steps.
3,0 Ghz is not too high frequency for X3440, so you can try it without any problems.
Typically 3,5-3,6 Ghz is the frequency value which demands significantly higher voltage for these Xeons.
@@starstreamgamer3704 muchas gracias de corazón, crees que con eso es suficiente, con esos 0.5 GHz de más quedará mejo ?
Well, if you overclock only cores (via CPU multipler increase), the difference will be marginal. But if you overclock your CPU via BCLK, it will also increase the speed of CPU memory controller. And such an overclocking will be twice as effective. Overclocking memory in cojunction with cores and MC will provide significanly better results. That is why comprehensive CPU overclocking is the best decision. The speed of cores themselves is important, but to achieve the best results you need to overclock MC and RAM too.
I want to overclock my i5 750. But is it possible with motherboard H55 ,240 psu, stock fan? I heard something about you cant overclock h55, and only p55 can be overclocked?
No, many H55 MoBos can easily overclock CPUs. But stock fan is a big problem, as these old CPUs are very hot. But you can try anyway. Just do not forget to monitor CPU temp. I think you may reach 3,3-3,4 GHz without any problems. And RAM OC is also an important thing.
Nice tutorial sir. I already oc'ed my x3470 to 3.48Ghz stable the cpu temperature is under 40° and gaming is around 60°. I'm using intel dp55wb I can't go higher than 3.48Ghz with this board.
I wanna purchase P7P55D to overclock x3470 somewhere between 3.7Ghz-4Ghz. so my question is:
1. from 3.4Ghz to 3.7-4Ghz will I see huge difference in performance especially for gaming or not?
2. My ram is 4x2 1600Mhz and 1333Mhz by default they both running @1333Mhz. Would I be able to overclock them to 1600Mhz ? Would it be a problem of not.
3. My PSU have 4x2 pin and P7P55D need 8 pin, would it okay to plug 4x2 pin into 8 pin motherboard for overclocking?
Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
Hi. Thanks.
1. 3,48 GHz to 4 GHz is ~15% higher core clock speed. But CPU performance depends not only on it's core clock speed but some other factors as well (like RAM and NB). So 15% higher core clock almost never corresponds to 15% better CPU performance. Usually it's about 7-8%. So it's up to you to decide whether it's worth purchasing a new MB for getting these additional 7-8% or not.
Remember that maximum CPU core clock speed depends not only on a MB quality, but on a CPU itself as well. Some samples overclock better than the others. So there's no guarantee you will be able to overclock yours to 4 GHz even on P7P55D. 3,8 GHz is usually doable frequency for almost every CPU sample on this platform.
2. Usually there is no problem increasing RAM speed to it's default frequency - 1600 MHz in your case. In some cases you can even surpass stock frequency, especially if we are talking about some gaming RAM with built-in XMP profile. All you need is a MB which supports RAM OC.
3. If your PSU has dual 4 pin connector (4x2 pin - 8 pin in total) it should not be a problem to connect it to a MB with 8 pin input.
@@starstreamgamer3704 thank you for answering my questions. I already bought the new motherboard 3 days ago, I spend my 3 days for overclocking and making my system stable but in the end I'm giving up on it cause the motherboard I bought P7P55D was actually bad, the temperature on the motherboard in indle was always above 50°, when playing game it can reach 70° and in full load or stress test the motherboard can reach 80° that's just insane, I even touch the VRM with my finger just to much sure how hot it is, and it was superrrr hot. Everything is not stable with the motherboard I bought even in stock the temperature both motherboard and cpu is so high while my old motherboard can handle 3.4Ghz full load temperatur is always under 60°.

could I overclock if I have a regular Intel cooler and is overclocking dangerous for the life of the processor?I have i7 870
I am afraid Intel cooler is not sufficient for overclocking, especially with i7. If you will not exceed maximum safe CPU voltage (1,35V), overclocking is safe. If you want to overclock your CPU, I'd recommend to purchase some tower cooler with at least three copper pipes.

860 supports 16 GB max according to Intel specifications. So 4x4GB is the largest memory amount you can use. And with your P7P55D-PRO you can easily overclock it up to 2000-2100 MHz.

As concerns your RAM, I think 1800-1850 MHz at 11-11-11-28 should be doable. But since you are using 3 RAM modules, I am not sure you will be able to reach such high frequency. My P7P55D was able to overlock 2 or 4 modules higher than 3. So you'd better try 1600 Mhz 10-11-11-28 at first.

Can the intel p55 express overclock with xeon x3470? And will it be able to go up to 3,3ghz while i have a stock cooler and 1 or 2 fans
All MoBos based on P55 chipset can overclock CPUs. The possibility to reach 3,3 GHz will depend on the specific CPU sample. Some of them can easily work at this frequency while maintaining low voltage. But others need higher voltage and thus better cooler.
What about 3.1ghz?
3,1 GHz is a very small overclock, so I believe (almost) any X3470 should handle it with stock voltage. But, depending on your MoBo, you may need to change voltage manually - some of them can automatically raise it too high.

Once I try x21 multiplier or blck 180~ i get bosd (even with high vCore), also tried increasing pll but still the same...
Ram are basic 1333 2x4gb and 2x2gb (12gb total) i have them at 1750mhz with higher timers at 1'6v

Hi. Glad you achieved goods results with your CPU. 70-75 degrees is OK for fully loaded 870. You can try to reduce CPU voltage a littles bit - down to ~1,32V, if you have not tried these values yet. 40 °C is fine for idle state.
@@starstreamgamer3704 I've tried to reduce vCore but I got BOSD booting the first time, then I tried again and worked and still working, is it normal? What about ram voltages? Are they dangerous for generic naked sticks? Any other temp I need to take care on?
If you got BSOD once then you will probably get it in future. So you'd better change some settings. If at 1,35V your CPU works fine, leave it be.
1,65V is the maximum recommended voltage for DDR3 modules. 1,6V is perfectly fine for those models with good heatsinks. For naked ones 1,6V is OK.
VRM temp is probably the most important one.
good!

Can i overclock asrock p55de3 with xeon x3470?
And ram no heatsink
Edit: my cooler is watercooling corsair h105
Yes, you can overclock both CPU and RAM. But this motherboard does not have VRM heatsinks. Moderate overlock - 3,6 Ghz for CPU and 2000 MHz for RAM - should be OK for P55DE3. But, if you want to overlock your CPU higher than 3,6 GHz, you will need to install additional fan (or at least heatsink) on the VRM zone.
Don't worry about RAM heatsinks, if you are not going to raise RAM voltage higher than 1,65 V. For newer DDR3 modules 1,6 V will be more than enough. Some of them can even work at 1,5 V and still are able to achieve 2000-2200 MHz.
@@starstreamgamer3704 if i had overclocked cpu to 3.6 ghz and ram 2100 mhz is it really safe for daily use?
Yes, if you have a decently ventilated PC case (2-3 case fans blowing air in and 1 blowing air out), it should be fine.
Can i overclock my i7 870 using my mother board asus p7h55?
Yes. This MoBo does support CPU and RAM overclocking.
Hi,when i overclock cpu(x3440) over 2.9ghz it is turning off at windows logo on loading,can you help me fix it?
Motherboard - P7H55
Hi. What settings do you change in BIOS and what values do you enter?
@@starstreamgamer3704 CPU Ratio - 19
BCLK Freq - 180
Dram Freq - 1800
Dram timings - 10,10,10,28
Dram voltage - 1.65
What is your RAM model?
@@starstreamgamer3704 Kllisre 1600 mhz from aliexpress
I'd suggest you to raise RAM timings up to 11-11-11-30 CR2 (2N) at first. If it won't help, try 11-12-12-30 CR2. I am not sure this RAM could operate at 1800 MHz, so try to lower RAM frequency by one step, if higher timings won't make any difference.
If none of the two timing modes helps (as well as lowering RAM frequency), the problem is most likely in the motherboard. So lower BCLK frequency down to 165-175 MHz.
The last thing you should blame for this problem is a CPU. Some of them might be faulty, but it happens extremely rare.
Great video man!
I have i5 760 2.8GHz (Air Cooler Thermaltake, idle 35ºC / full 50ºC) + P7H55D-M EVO
I want to OC 3.2~3.5GHz to push my GTX1060 3GB and RAM 1333 -> 1600MHz.
Can I just modify BCLK and mutliplier, or I have to adjust the voltage too?
I'am thinking in 20 multipliers * 160 BCLK = 3.2GHz in my first test (PS.: i never OC anything)
Thanks.
Yes, you can modify only BCLK and CPU mutliplier up to a certain limit.. These will be different values for every single CPU sample. But after a particular frequency you will have to change (increase) the voltage as well.
160*20 is a good way to start. If it works well, then you can increase BCLK by a few steps and try again.
@@starstreamgamer3704 Ok, thank you very much! Can I keep the voltage in "Auto" in BIOS right?
I'm happy to help. Yes, you can. But when you reach a certain frequency, you may need to change it manually, otherwise your system might become unstable.
Bro what this cpu cooler model?
I personally was using Zalman CNPS10X Quiet. It has 5 heat pipes and a perfectly polished copper base.
Ку, русский язык знаешь? Поможешь разогнать i5 750 на материнской плате p7p55d pro до 4,2 4,3 Ггц? Кулер для cpu позволяет держать температуру при такой частоте 60 c°, но игры зависают и крашатся. Russian league.
Hi! Sorry, I missed you comment. If you want to overclock your i5-760, try to find the highest stable BCLK frequency first (it depends on both a MoBo and a CPU). Then search for the highest stable memory speed. CPU frequency is the last thing you need to worry about.
Does an Asus P7H55-M work with the Xeon X3440?
Yes, it does. You may need to update BIOS though.
@@starstreamgamer3704 Ok thank you because I just got one and I was wondering why it wouldn’t work lol
@@starstreamgamer3704 Where do I find the bios update?
You can find it here: www.asus.com/supportonly/P7H55-M/HelpDesk_BIOS/
@@starstreamgamer3704 I updated the bios but when i put in the Xeon X3440 in it still doesn't work
The name of your graphic card ???
Back then I was using GTX 1660. It was MSI Aero OC, ITX version.
Can I overclock my cpu with a i7 860 and a Hewlett-Packard 304ah motherboard?
I doubt it, taking into account the origin of this board. Enter the BIOS and look for the settings related to overclocking.
@@starstreamgamer3704 I don’t see any settings. I only see hyper threading. The i7 860 has 8 threads. If I turn on hyper threading will it run faster or hurt my computer?
This means that your MoBo does not have overclocking features.
As concerns Hyperthreading, you can turn it on. Additional threads offer higher performance in many modern games and applications.
@@starstreamgamer3704 My cpu shows 4 cores and 4 threads but It has 8 threads. Any suggestions?
This can mean only thing - Hyperthreading is deactivated. Otherwise your motherboard shows wrong CPU information.
Can u send me ur bios drivers bro bcs my motherboard h55 cant load my i7 870... this will be very important to me
What model do you have? Asus keep all the BIOS versions for their MoBos on their official website. You can easily find the model you have and download any version.
@@starstreamgamer3704 it is asus p7h55-m/v-p7h55e/dp_mb this is my motherboard andbi cant finde the bios updates pls help me if u can
What is the current version of BIOS of your MoBo?
@@starstreamgamer3704 is something like 0303 2009 version idk it good
Looks like this MoBo was a part of Asus V7-P7H55E mini PC.
It has two BIOS versions - 0303 and 0504. So I supose you need to download and install 0504 version: www.asus.com/Mini-PCs/V7P7H55E/HelpDesk_BIOS/
Hello again, I got the xeon x3450, but I have a BIG PROBLEM, can you help me? Any contact? Thanks
Hi! Currently I do not have any other contacts. You can describe your problem right here. It may help others as well, if they face the same problem.
@@starstreamgamer3704 so, for all that have the problem after upgrading to an i7 or xeon, you need to to a fresh windows install, take all the files that you have, and then do a fresh install, I had only 2 cores and 4 threads active, cinebench r15 score was horible, 199points, with the stock i5 750 I had 320, now, after installing new windows the cpu is running cirectly, 440 points in cinebench at stock speeds
Hm, strange. When I swapped my i5 760 for X3470 I did not have to do anything. The MoBo automatically recognized the new CPU and launched Windows correctly.
I think the problem was in your MoBo. Somehow it could not recognize your new CPU correctly for the first time.
As to the problem with cores/threads, they were probably deactivated in BIOS. I am not sure how this could happen. Have you checked BIOS before reinstalling Windows? Core/thread management is in the "Advanced" tab -> "CPU configuration" menu (in case of Asus). For Gigabyte MoBos it is "Advanced CPU core fgeatures". For MSI I think it is "Advanced BIOS features".
@@starstreamgamer3704 yes, on my mobo BIOS somewhere it says procesors cores, I could only chose all, 1 and 2, now I haven't checked it 🤪, but it works =))) I will try to oc the crap of it cuz I need to beat my friends 800-1100$ laptops with a 370$ pc =)))
I'm glad it worked out for you. Good luck. These old Xeons are still relevant CPUs as they perform pretty well.
I have intel core i5 750 and asus p7h55 m can't overclock?
This is a decent board. It suppots both CPU and RAM overclock. It should have no problem with overclocking i5-750. 3,6-3,8 Ghz is perfectly doable.
@@starstreamgamer3704 i have 80C on 3.5Ghz i5 750 in stress test , i have cooler master (dont remember model) with 3 copper tubes , is it to bad to cool it ?
Well, a cooler with 3 copper pipes is not powerful enough for i5-750. These old CPUs were quite hot even back in 2009. Now the thermal interface under the IHS degraded, which cause even higher temperatures.
You can try to lower CPU voltage manually. Some motherboards automatically set it too high, which leads to higher temperatures.
4 heat pipes is the minimum overclocked Lynnfield CPUs need to preserve
tolerable temperatures. Delidding CPU is another way to drastically decrease it's temperatures.
@@starstreamgamer3704 my motherboard dont allow me to do something with cpu volt , p7h55-m i thing it has only auto cpu volt
There is no "CPU Voltage Mode" option in "Ai Tweaker" tab?
How did you overclock i7 880
The same way as any other CPU on this platform. Lower the CPU multiplier, then try to increase BCLK as much as your MoBo allows.
I have I5 760 and intel H55 can i overclock ?
Majoriy of motherboards, based on H55, can perform CPU and RAM overclock. Check the BIOS of yours. There should be a section called "OC tweaker", "Cell Menu" etc.
@@starstreamgamer3704 But i check the bios there isnt
Then your motherboard do not support OC. There were a few entry level models, which BIOS was cut down in terms of OC functionality due to weak VRM.
can you overclock cpu on hp 304bh?
Not sure about this one. This motherboard was a part of a minitower PC, which was equipped with i5-660. I won't be surprised if this MoBo do not have overclocking caspabilities.
@@starstreamgamer3704 i looked the bios and, i didnt found any overclock setting, that means i cannot overclock?
@@bencegayer2387 Yes. It means that this board does not support overclocking.
@@starstreamgamer3704 okay :(, & thanks for the reply
why do i need ada
??
Not sure what do you mean by "ada".
how about i5 760?
I had i5-760. I has only 4 threads, while i7 860-880 and X3440-X3480 have 8 threads. Hyperthreading significantly improves their performance, as many modern games and apps can use it properly.
I have a core i7 870 and my motherboard is intel dq57tm. Can I overclock?
Judging by the looks, this board has a very poor VRM. So I would not recommend to overclock your CPU using it. You can overclock your RAM though.
@@starstreamgamer3704 Thank you for the reply much appreciated
