I am overclocking my pentium g3258 in my Biostar Z87x 3d motherboard's bios but when I check cpuz or Intel xtu, the clock speed is the same. What am I doing wrong?
 
Solution
Ok i found the problem. I thought my bios was updated because i updated it through software that the manufacturer provided but i guess it didnt update so i just flashed it through the bios and it works now!!! Lol what a stupid thing. Thanks anyways guys!!!

I overclock from the bios. First i changed my cpu ratio mode to all cores, then i changed my cpu ratio to 35, then i changed my cpu override voltage target (mv) to 975. Then F10, i save, and im out.

Enable the XMP memory profile if your mobo amd RAM supports it. Don't increase the voltage on first step. Just follow this method:
I will recommend to do overclocking in bios because it needs less voltage, higher oc and if also increase the processor life
comparable to oc by software. If you give less voltage then oc will unstable and if you give more voltage then CPUs life will reduce and it will produce more heat. Also If you get Any manual settings and of you go for that then the oc will be unstable and will produce more heat. Just follow this Steps:
1) just enable your XMP memory profile if your memory support that.
2) increase the cpu ratio from factory settings a little(whichever smallest possible) and boot in your os.
3) Download cpu stress testing software prime95 and do a stress test around 20 minutes.
4) if it passes then restart and go in bios, increase a little cpu ratio again a little bit.
5) if it passes then repeat 4th method. And if it not passes then go in bios and increase the CPU voltage and again test. Just keep doing that.
6) a time will arrive when the temp will gone so high, at that time you have to stop and keep it to cool.
7) also when doing upper methods you have to keep a eye on your temps.
8) a step will arrive when prime95 will never pass or the temp will gone so high immediately when stress test started, that point you have to stop and you get the unleashed speed of your processor. You got a stable oc now.
Just follow this Steps and you will get stable oc, greatest speed and high performance. Best luck.:)

The problem's not knowing HOW to overclock. I did exactly what u said and none of my applications like cpu-z or intel xtu show that i have an overclock. It still says my processor is running at stock speeds even though my bios shows the overclocked speed.
