I recently installed a new MOBO into my computer and have decided to overclock my CPU. But when i go to the place to increase the multiplier in my BIOS, it says to the side: "The value will be limit to CPU base or factory setting." For example, when I try to increase the multiplier to 35, it automatically changes it back to 31(the factory setting). Some people have said you have to enable manual overclocking in the BIOS but that setting is nowhere to be found. Also, my BIOS is up to date. Here is my MOBO and CPU:

You need a "K" series unlocked cpu to overclock for starters.
