Core i7-5775C CPU Review
Overclocking
Contents
The Core i7-5775C was an unlocked clock multiplier, which means that, at least theoretically, it is possible to overclock it just by changing its multiplier.
Unfortunately we were not able to, after some quick tests, run this processor in overclocking. In some tries, even with the overclocking configured, it was reducing the clock to 3.3 GHz when under load. We actually managed to put it to run at 4.0 GHz, but not with stability.
So, we cannot form an opinion about overclocking capabilities of the Core i7-5775C. It could be some issue on the BIOS of the motherboard we used (of course we updated it) because the CPU is very recent, or maybe we were just unlucky to get a sample with bad overclocking possibilities.
