Your motherboard very simple. No recomend OC.

84W limit for this motherboard.

But if you want OC and problem not scare you, you must search non Z OC.
But i not found information on this motherboard:
P85 Pro3
B85 Pro4
BIOS Support Non-Z OC with K series CPU.
B85 Pro3
No information.

I not recomend, economy on motherboard in the future.

For OC need good motherboard and Z chipset, but on some motherboard B\H chipset OC possible and this feature called "non Z OC". You motherboard no information.

And:

Very weak motherboard. OC bad idea.

Install last bios and try OC.

Ok, i got you. I bought this mb on a tight budged and this was the best deal with 4 slots for ram. I am not into OC'ing but just a little oc to like 4GHZ or 4.2GHZ Is it bad? I mean is it going to harm my parts?
