Question Modding MSI H110M PRO-VD

[spinzo]

hi i have msi h110m pro vd and i5 7400 cpu locked is it possible to overclock it at least turbo boost clock or bus clock i tried xtu and throttle stop i cant find a way i am curious i found that you can mod the bios to unlock the oc features of the cpu could you help me please!(my bios version 7996v2H link: MSI Global - The Leading Brand in High-end Gaming & Professional Creation 1)

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

If you want to overclock, you should look into a Z series chipset at the verify least so you can run ram beyond DDR4-2133MHz. If you want to overclock the processor, I'd then suggest a K suffix processor which is unlocked. In it's current state, you're better off handing it down to another of your kin or you can sell it and then pick up something that's overclocking friendly and doesn't not need you to modifying the BIOS which can and will result in a bricked board or instability.

H110 can overclock throught BIOS F20 version on Gigabyte H110 board, also you can use old Intel XTU exe to adjust H110 BCLK. Intel has prevented BIOS overclocking with microcode. So if the BCLK is greater than a certain value on startup, the CPU or chipset/motherboard won't post. So the only solution is for hackers to hack Intel XTU so that it can freely adjust BCLK. With the old version which support BCLK adjust you can only play with BCLK around 0.5MHz (99.5-100MHz). All we need to do is break that holy limit.

You don't need to worry about the board getting bricked. These low end boards won't burn your CPU, nor do they have auto voltage boost if you increase BCLK. CPUs with smaller processes are more vulnerable to voltages and temperatures, not exceeding 1.3625V and 85°C are stable. Anyway, the normal H110 can't be overclocked.
