I want to do some minor overclocking on this system. I am not in a huge need but wouldn't mind overclocking to get a little bit of better performance. I am aware that this MOBO isn't the best for Oc, but could someone give me some advice on how to overclock on this system? I am a very noob beginner, and am not willing to upgrade my MOBO currently.

Before I put my current overclock of 5ghz on my i5 8600k, I tried to see what I could get just by raising the multiplier and leaving everything else on default. This is what I was able to do. You might want to give it a try.

I should add, though it doesn't show in this picture I did turn xmp on for my memory.

For a minor overclock, simply go to what I believe is "CPU Ratio" it should be a two digit number, you can increase that a little bit, maybe 5, and it should state under it, as something like "Adjusted CPU Frequency" and it should be basically whatever that ratio was, as MHz, so for example if the CPU ratio was 30, it should say 3000 MHz under it. Thats how it is for mine

You can also go the second route, and increase the CPU Base Clock (MHz) by a little until you get to whatever clock you want.

Sorry I had the wrong image in there. however the first image does show that everything is on auto. This one shows the multiplier highlighted in yellow.

Thanks for the response, I will be sure to give that a try. I appreciate the assistance!
