    Intel i5 3450 overclocking

    I have an Intel i5 3450 processor in my computer which I wanted to overclock. I started to overclock the processor, when I realized that the multiplier of this processor is locked. I wanted to know that if the multiplier is locked for Intel i5 3450, then is there any way in which we can overclock this processor. Also if I try to overclock Intel i5 3450, then without active multiplier, how far will I be able to go?

    I know that Intel i5 3450 has multiplier which is locked. You cannot unlock the multiplier in any way, neither is there any software that will unlock it for you. In other words, you cannot unlock the multiplier and you will have to leave the thought of overclocking this processor. Even if you find any way of overclocking this processor, the process might not be much successful. The side effects might make your system go unstable and make it crash frequently. So it is not advisable to overclock the Intel i5 3450 processor if it has multiplier locked.

    Re: Intel i5 3450 overclocking

    Multiplier in a processor is needed for unlocking the cores in the processor and it has to increase along with the voltage to have a successful overclocking. Without using the multiplier, you might increase the voltage only to get some minor overclocking, but this overclocking won’t make any big difference. Also, increasing the voltage without increasing the multiplier will add the load on the cores of the processor. So I say that you should avoid this idea of overclocking Intel i5 3450 and use it on stock settings.
