February 17, 201313 yr I was just wondering if someone here could give me an answer, can I overclock an I7 2600k chip with an MSI H61M-E33 B3 board. It says on the box 1 second overclocking with OC genie, but I just can't figure it out. I go into my bios and there is no way to up the thing more than 3.6 ghz. Thanks for the help.

Don't use the genie thing. Manually change the settings in my opinion. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
February 17, 201313 yr You can't overclock on an H61 motherboard. P67 or Z68.... i7 [email protected] | 32GB RAM | EVGA RTX 3080Ti | Maximus Hero VII | 512GB 860 Pro | 512GB 850 Pro | 256GB 840 Pro | 2TB 860 QVO | 1TB 870 EVO | Seagate 3TB Cloud | EVGA 1000 GQ | Win10 Pro | EK Custom water cooling.
February 17, 201313 yr Author thank you for the help. I was afraid of that. I'll have to upgrade my board, I'm furious with the guys who sold it to me they said I could overclock no problem. I guess I should have done my homework Anthony Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHZ, 32 GB ram, win 11, gtx 4070 Super
February 21, 201313 yr Author just a quick follow up. If I buy another board and install my hard drive onto it will fsx win7 etc work just fine or do i have to reinstall everything. Thank You Anthony Anthony Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHZ, 32 GB ram, win 11, gtx 4070 Super
February 22, 201313 yr You´d be facing a complete reinstall. There´s software that´ll let you save an "image" of your harddrives, but I doubt it´ll transpose to a different rig. http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/H61M-E33--B3-.html top section makes some reference to overclocking, if it´s just desktop overclock you may not find it very stable, but you could try it out.

February 22, 201313 yr Reinstalling win7 is made easier/faster if you do it with a usb, http://arstechnica.com/business/2009/12/the-usb-flash-drive/ http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/ "I´ll rather be down here wishing I was up there than be up there wishing I was down here"
