Question Overclocking an non k i5 7400

[Sonicssee]

Hello

Im only playing Cs Go on my pc.

I5 7400
Msi Gtx 1050 ti
Msi z270 Gaming pro Carbon
2x8gb RAM 3200mhz
400 watt be quiet Netzteil

So when I build my pc I was messing up my configuration in terms of cpu power
So shortly i want to boost my cpu to get higher fps
First of all i wanted good buy an New i5 8th or 9th Generation But unfortenate they it doesn’t fit on my mainbaord and I payed enough for my mainbaord to keep it. I’m not willing to buy a new motherboard

So in December I will buy the i5 6600k or the i7 7700k

But at the moment I am sitting on my i5 7400
Is there any way to overclock my i5 7400
So my boost clock is 3300mhz and I wanted to boost it to 4,2 or more

Is it even possible ?

You have a non-k CPU, so overclocking is not supported.

There is no simple way to overclock, especially if you are using the stock cooler.

You may be able to base clock overclock due to the z series chipset, but that can brake things.

the only way to overclock is to increase BCLK which can cause problems like data loss in your drives in long term.
