CPU : Pentium g3258
Motherboard : GIGABYTE Z97-D3H

I've tried to overclock on my new CPU, like so

but after I save and reset, this is what I see in BIOS
14679368219_0c825c3bca_n.jpg


I know the setting is actually saved as I can still see them in
M.I.T\Advanced Frequency Settings

but that doesn't changed anything,
my CPU is still at 3199.25MHz when I check CPU-Z

It says 'if needed'

Leave baseclock for what it is
If needed, increase the TDP limit of your processor to 200~250 Watts
With a Pentium-K G3258 model change Turbo multiplier to 42 initially and gradually work your way upwards.
Increase CPU voltage, though setting AUTO might work fine, we think 1.2~1.250 V on this motherboard is a sweet spot if you stay under 4200 MHz. 4500 Mhz requries 1.4V - above 4700 MHz you are reaching 1.50 Volts
Make sure your processor is properly cooled with enthusiast grade heatpipe cooling or liquid cooling
Save and Exit BIOS / UEFI

After all, does this setting means that I will have a highest turbo frequency of 3.5GHz on my CPU?
