Hi there! I have been trying to figure how to overclock my PC for a few hours now and I simply have no idea what to do. Here are my specs:

Intel i5-3570k CPU @ 3.4GHz with Coolermaster Hyper 101i aftermarket cooler
4GB DDR3 RAM
Motherboard: ASRock H61M-DGS

I've googled for ages and found nothing similar to what I am seeing in my BIOS. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Well, you may be able to overclock but not the way you could with a z77. So with a z77, you simply change the multiplier to increase the frequency of the CPU. However, you have an H61 motherboard. You won't be able to do that. IF, and that is a big if, you are able to overclock, you will be only able to increase the FSB (front side bus) just a little. But I don't think you will be able to do much considering most H61 north bridges do no support overclocking.

When you start your computer up there should be a quick flash of your bios. It will tell you to press a certain key to get into bios menu and just tap it fast so you're sure that you will get into it. In gigabyte motherboards there is a 3d screen that you can actually click on your ramsticks and then you can set the frequency up.

Yeah I know how to get to BIOS, but when I get there I dont know what to do after that. I see options for changing voltage and other things but I'm not sure what to set everything as exactly. Whenever I look up guides a lot of the options are not even there for my BIOS (I even updated it to be sure)

Weird, since one of the tabs is called OC Tweaker and has settings for Overclocking. Anyway, I found something called CPU Ratio which looks like a multiplier after enabling All Cores in CPU Config. What should I set it to? 40?

Wow. That's surprising. What is it currently set at?

Alright, thanks for the link. Although many of the settings it says to enable or disable are not listed in my BIOS.

I keep raising the multiplier but the clock is not being raised at all. The only settings I could find that I enabled and disabled were:

Enabled:
Intel Virtualization Tech

Everything else was not listed. Closest thing I found was something called Enhanced Halt State (C1E) which looks similar to C1E Support which is listed under disable

H61 Chipset does not allow overclocking via multiplier.
Possibly not via bclck either..
What it will do, though, is "turbo" up to 3.7 Ghz if you set it a certain way.
Hopefully, anyway..I had a Biostar h61 though..
