My Specs: CPU: FX-6300 Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO MoBo: Biostar Ta970 GPU: MSI R9 270 Storage: Seagate 1TB HDD RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) PSU: Corsair CX500M

MY question: I would like some help with overclocking. I have watched 3 or 4 videos on how to do it, bur because the BIOS on my motherboard are so drastically different, I'm unsure on how to do it. I would like to get to at least 4.0 and at the most 4.2.

Basically what I need to know is: What to change in the BIOS and what to change them to

If anyone has overclocked on this motherboard or if anyone can figure it out in anyway (I think there's a video on YouTube showing the BIOS), could help, I would be forever thankful!

No one can tell you what to change in the BIOS (that has to do with actually increasing CPU clock) even if they have the same motherboard. They could help tell you what settings needs to be turned off and on. The rest needs to be done by you, otherwise someone needs to do the actual overclocking process for you in person. General thing that needs to be done is turn off turbo boosting and other power saving settings in the BIOS. After that you begin raising the CPU multiplier by one or more and check if your PC boots. Keep doing that until your PC no longer boots up. Then lower it to the CPU multiplier that actually booted last. From there you have to test the CPU clock for stability. If the OC is not stable then you start...

Keep doing that until your PC no longer boots up. Then lower it to the CPU multiplier that actually booted last. From there you have to test the CPU clock for stability. If the OC is not stable then you start lowering the multiplier until it can pass several hours of stability. That's how you get a light overclock without having to mess with voltages. Once you find a stable overclock that way you can continue to up the voltage in small increments if your temps are fine and you want a higher overclock. You also want to find out what the max recommended voltage for your CPU is. Overclocking through the FSB is also an option but it will be more complex due to having to mess with RAM, NB, HT mutlipliers. But may be a good way to OC to get an overall boost to your PC.

Why not take pictures or screenshots of the BIOS screens. Don't you have a manual to check the settings?
