Can i overclock my Intel core 2 quad q8300I want to overclock my intel core 2 quad q8300 2.50 ghz my mother board is Gigabyte g41m combo I want know till how much ghz i can overclock (Is 3.0 or 3.5 possible)Plzzzzzzz Help

Hello... There are alot of Overclockers sites that have talked about this... Google your CPU/MB and look for a Tweekers site name. http://www.overclock.net/t/1567/intel-overclocking-guide Look in your MB PDF/Manual, for the Sections for Manually setting Memory and CPU speed.It is simple math FSB x CPU multiplier... Start at 2.6ghz 7.5 x 346. Then 2.7 ghz 7.5 x 360 ...etc and watch what your MB reports as your RAM speed too understand the relationship... Your RAM speed will follow the FSB settings... and there will be a point where your RAM will not be able to keep up... and BOOT failure.You will have to manually slow down the Memory too go any higher.

Xeon 771 mod over q8300 Core2Quad?Hi friends!My question is next:I have a q8300 Core2Quad CPU installed in Gygabyte P43-ES3G motherboard that support bus overclocking, three phase CPU power block, 6gb of DDR 2. Titan tower cooler that was told is quite enough to cool overclocked CPU, if it's important I'll check the model name of that cooler. Right now CPU is overclocked to 3Ghz and works fine. GPU is Asus GTX 970. I saw that there are old Xeons available at EBay and Aliexpress for cheap. And that some models as e5450 or x5460/x5470 can be easy overclocked till 4Ghz and even higher! So if I'm not intended to invest in new rig, that of course I would build with Haswell or Skylake, will this change be meaningful and will I see any big improvement over my q8300@3Ghz? I can play all modern titles at ultra at about 30-60FPS, depends on game, but it may suddenly drops to 18-22 FPS.Any advices concerning my question? Don't want to spend on new setup yet. There a lot of another ways to invest money! )) So please don't point me to buy new and throw old things out!Sorry for my English.

Well you have the GPU which is the most expensive part. All you will need is a motherboard + cpu + ram. An i5-6500 for $200 or so, along with $40 for 8gb ddr4 and $70 for a decent motherboard would give you those 60fps at ultra and will be able to run every game (when it comes to cpu) for the foreseeable future.

Installing a core 2 quad q8300So today i just bought a core 2 quad q8300 for a lga 775 socket but when i tried install it it says CPU Unsupported can someone help me out with this

thanks for looking it up. had to run some errands and could not get back to it earlier. it's what i figured, the mobo is just not able to use the cpu. this is homework you should do before buying the part to ensure it will work as you hope it will sorry but looks like a new mobo for you or an rma of the chip you bought
