Overclocking i5 3230m?


Recommended Posts

I have the modded bios installed which allows my y500 to overclock the GPU but is there anyway I can overclock the little i5? I'm not paying to 100+ to upgrade to the i7 , I'll just invest in my desktop if it needs to come to that. tried the intel extreme overclocking utility but to no avail.

For games, it should make little to no difference. The Y500 tends to have reasonable graphics right? If its editing etc though, overclocking wont help much since the speed of an i7 comes from the other cores, which allow a process to distribute the load. This isnt possible with the i5 you have at the moment.
