B250 bios settings to OC non-k i5

[manigma]

I recently upgraded from fx4300 to a non k intel (i5 7500) on Gigabyte GA B250M D2V with 16GB ddr4 2400. RX 480 4GB.

I am very happy with the upgrade. On fx I was able to get about 20fps at 1440p in Witcher 3. But now I can get 40-45 fps with same settings ultra-high mixed and hairworks on.

So my question (to anyone who has a non k + b250) is there anything I can further tweak in bios to oc my cpu or just enhance a bit further?

How about enabling intel speed step? Does it effect gaming?

I see most OC options are disabled in bios but they are there. Does that mean if I had a K series cpu it would have been able to OC somehow even on B250 boards?

for oc you should have invested in a z series mobo and a k series cpu.
your current system with oc would probably overheat and kill either mobo or cpu. If you are lucky you can get 0.1 ghz improvement with current setup.

you cannot overclock a non-K intel CPU. trhe non-K CPU's are locked and even if you had a K version of this CPU you still wouldn't be able to because you need a motherboard with a Z170/270 chipset

Only a few highend b250 have that feature, might just as well get a z270 now

I will just upgrade to a non-k i7 or i8 (coffee lake) next year. Thanks for your help.
