Hello there everyone this is my first post here and my first time attempting an overclock. The reason I want to overclock is that I'm seeing FPS drops in games and id prefer faster renders with my 3D Modelling. Anyway I was looking at overclocking to something like 4.7 or 4.9 but I have no idea on what to do I did read a few guides but couldnt really find those settings in my BIOS.
Here is my setup:
AMD FX8150 3.60GhZ cooled by Corsair H60i 2013 edition with a push pull setup with a corsair SP120 high performance on each side.
Corsair Vengeance 16gb (4x4GB @ 1600MhZ Stock)
Corsair CX750M power supply
Nvidia GTX 550ti 1GB
Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard
NZXT 410 Phantom case with good air flow and cable management

Ill also include a pic of my BIOS which I think these are the settings that need to be tweeked?

Thank you in advanced for any help :) If any more details are needed let me know.

To overclock on a Asus board, go into your bios and then click advanced -> AI tweaker.
The rest is really all in tutorials, static stock voltage settings, LLC configuration, multiplier, etc.

Please be careful with your overclock and start out small and work your way up checking temps along the way, and try to keep voltages low, I personally don't like to go over 1.4v but they can go higher I am not sure what the max safe voltage to temp would be with a h60i.
Also it is in important to note that settings for one CPU will not always work on a different CPU even if they are the same model.

4.7ghz is do able but 4.9ghz isnt (4.9ghz maybe on a crazy water loop) but not air! ive tried and not stable. 4.7ghz on the other hand is but comes with high volts and lowers the life of your cpu u can cruise nicely with 4.4ghz like the rest of us... this is a link from another page i was helping with with settings and how high i could get
