MSI does not want OC
-
Oh oh I already know, I was going to buy the K, but some people started telling me that it had problems, that it didn't know what and in the end I got scared and bought the normal one, only to later discover that simply being an unlocked version didn't pose any risk, nor did it involve doing a little OC.
But anyway, I'd like to know how to solve the problem I have now in case I have to do it again in the future. -
This sounds like the "clairvoyant computer recommendations" from the Modular store... :chuckles:
The same BIOS recognizes the crippled version of the micro and won't let you overclock it, who knows. But the crime is buying that motherboard for a micro with the multiplier locked, and you know it :facepalm:

I'm sorry to tell you Max that I don't know where the shots are going. If we had recommended you here, we would have told you i5 160€ not K and motherboard B85 about 80€, online prices that with shipping would have been about 245€. Out of trouble.
Looking at the OC issue, we would have recommended something more expensive, of course, and now you wouldn't have the slight brown (I say slight because the Z also didn't come out much more expensive for you).
Anyway, without getting too involved. I don't know why it won't let you increase even 1 MHz of base clock, it doesn't add up for me but, if it doesn't work for you, don't get too worked up, you can't say you've "thrown away" money, you've bought a Z that isn't worth it to give it a hard time but, you get a decent motherboard at a similar price.
The truth is that with my socket I was looking at many things, now that I have it fine-tuned I have relaxed a lot. Anyway, enjoy your equipment and don't get too worked up, often the most freaks tend to get too worked up and take little advantage <:(

Haha, I know, let's see, the configuration didn't turn out bad, and some people have told me the motherboard isn't bad at all, that it can handle anything. And I wanted to get the K, but between those people telling me it would cause problems and that I had already gone over the initial budget, I decided to get the capped i5.
When I can, I'll get an i5 K and that's it.
By the way, can an i5 3670k work with the 1150 socket?
And another thing, is it worth lowering the latencies on the RAM?

You'll say a 4670K in any case.
Lowering latencies is complicating things, don't get into that…

No no, I mean the 3rd generation, I'm asking if it's compatible. I guess not, right?
-
The third generation is Haswell, socket 1150. The micro that you say does not exist, the only one slightly similar that is compatible is the i5 4670K.

or did you mean AMD A6-3670K perhaps.. -
Sorry, I was confused
Is the i5 3570K compatible with a socket 1150? -
-
Okey, muchas gracias!

Above all, the one that doesn't want OC on those CPUs is Intel, they want you to buy a K and they also don't like it very much if you can OC it too much. Then MSI, I suppose that now they have improved with the new platforms but I have a P45 platinum and it must be one of the worst P45 for OC, I had a P5K Premium and it gives the MSI a good beating in terms of being able to OC the same CPU, in addition to much better bios options for OC both for CPU and memory, the bios wasn't the most advanced either, but you could get much more out of it than the MSI. The people at Intel are a bit hypocritical, because before releasing them they gave better CPUs to the review websites, even to some overclockers, but that's talking about K processors. regards
