I'm ashamed of myself for not researching further but the MSI CSM-H87M-G43 was among the top tier in the tier guide for H87m boards, and it has OC settings, so I thought it would work. While it lets you alter the settings, it only goes lower than the stock 32x 100MHz, not higher. The OC genie also does nothing.
I tried the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and that does the same thing. It teased me with its Turbo Boost option that allowed higher multipliers at first, but sets them back to 32x when you hit Apply (and stress test confirms it stays 3.2GHz).
Now the only thing I can think of is hopefully there's a different BIOS I can flash that would allow a real overclock. I've googled my eyes out but can't find info on it. Really hoping someone can chime in with some knowledge or other possible options! If not I might have to see if I can return it and get something else.
