Fisrt thanks you for your answer!My motherboard is a gigabyte h97m-hd3.I KNOW it is not z97 chipset for overclocking but i read on the internet that you can overclock the cpu.My power suply its an 80 plus bronze (may gold) 550w xfx.This cpu can overclock to 3.7.I can overclock it to 3.7 but when i open cpu-Z, i can see that is only 3.5(3.49.......) (full load).
