In my previous thread some people told me that the mobo in my build is locked so I wouldn't be able to oc the cpu. However, I found this vid online saying you could "flash" the BIOS to get better OC options. Is this possible?

My build is as follows:

Power Supply - CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750M 750W
Graphics Card - GTX 670 FTW 2GB
CPU Cooler - CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CWCH60)
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-H77N-WIFI LGA 1155 Intel H77
CPU - Intel Core i5-3570K
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Hard Drive 1 - SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC256B/WW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Hard Drive 2 - 2.5 inch 5400 RPM 500 GB Seagate drive

Would oc'ing my gpu help in this case?

Honorable
A heavy overclock to the GPU (permitting that your PSU is a good quality one, and that your cooling is good enough to keep the card within temperature limits) would probably only net you 5-9 FPS increase, possibly. I can't give you the exact performance increase it will give you, but I doubt there's much you can do to get a 670 to run Ultra4XMSAA @ 1080p with 60+ average FPS.

And if I somehow replace the mobo and oc the gpu and cpu would I get 60+ on both games maxed out?
