what is uefi bios

does all mobo with uefi bios support oc?

UEFI is the replacement for BIOS. Its just the new way of interacting with the motherboard. As for overclocking, that'll depend on the motherboard and chipset you're using.

No, only motherboards with a Z chipset support oc (for example Z77, 787, z170 or the exception x99)
The uefi bios is just a better visualised bios with more features
Uefi is just the new standard for the bios so if you want an oc motherboad, look for z-motherboards

Hi

almost all new motherboards come with UEFI bios (since release of Windows 8)
It is required for booting hard drives larger than 2TB (along with 64 bit operating system)
most support navigation using a mouse

This is not true. Many other Intel non Z boards can overclock. My HTPC used a H81 board to overclock a G3258 without issue. Many articles all over about overclocking on non Z boards if you don't believe me.

u can say uefi is the advanced version of bios which has its own gui interface. unlike bios, u can use the mouse in uefi. Uefi is easy to undrstand compared to a normal bios.
oc or not, uefi has got nothing to do with that. For oc the cpu, u need to use an unlocked multiplier cpu and a unlocked cpu compatible mobo.
u can oc the locked multiplier cpu too bt its better if u have not oc'd the older cpus like core 2 duo and core 2 quad, coz u might fry ur beloved hardware.
U can follow this simple guide to learn some important tips for oc'ing ur cpu.
Welcome to the world of overclocking...
Gud luck..
