[SOLVED] i5-3570K + H61M-VS

[Insane Potatoz]

Hey everyone, I'm doing a budget build and picked up an i5-3570K + ASRock H61M-VS motherboard and was wondering if i could overclock on this motherboard? It looks to be pretty dinky but i decided i might ask just in case i could.
Thanks!

H61 motherboards are not capable of overclocking. You can try BCLK OCing, but it's not really stable.
Also, gains while BCLK overclocking are much smaller... you might get a couple of MHz out of it, but you may encounter stability issues along the way.

The best thing to do is to keep it at stock clocks.
