Hey guys,
I am a relatively inexperienced in the field of overclocking. Despite this, I have really wanted to increase my clock speed from 3.5 to around 4.0 or 4.3. I came across the Asus Auto Overclock feature in my mother board BIOS and I was wondering what everyone's experiences have been with this. My primary concern is what I would do if it does not work, can I restore to a default clock speed and will any of my system components be affected by this? I am not looking to overclock manually as I do not want to be directly responsible for any changes and I am not necessarily concerned with getting the most extreme overclock or the most efficient, as long as I am not inadvertently damaging my system.

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Here are my system specs (also can this be overclocked to 4.3?)
