Intel Core i3-8300 3.7 GHz Review
Performance Summary & Performance per Dollar »Overclocking
Without an unlocked base-clock multiplier, there's very little CPU overclocking fun to be had with this chip. At best, you can notch up the base lock itself to 102.9 MHz to squeeze out a handy 3% (or 108 MHz) overclock, reaching 3808 MHz without having to crank up voltages. Higher BCLK values are not available in the BIOS. Intel Management Engine would shut down the system anyway when it senses a base clock of 103 MHz or higher.
