I have never overclocked, would you mind to help me?

Solution
I'll help you out!

You have a nice set up by the way!

You'll want to install a program called HWmonitor for free...this will allow you to monitor your CPU temp, which is very important for overclocking. Open this, and look at what your maximum Vcore gets up to, (towards the top of the program, and then scroll down and look at what your maximum CPU mhz goes to...which will likely reflect the standard turbo boost it can achieve)...these are good starting numbers to base your minimum OC off of, because you know your CPU can handle that.

You'll also want to download some stress testing programs called Intel Burn Test and/or Aida64. These will be used to test the stability of your overclock.

Reset your PC, right before the Windows screen...

Reset your PC, right before the Windows screen and there'll be your motherboard screen that will display fairly quickly. One of the buttons will say BIOS. It's usually the Delete button or one of F number buttons. You'll need to repeatedly press that button as your PC is restarting before it reaches the Windows loading screen.

Once you've entered BIOS, find the options where it says "CPU core multiplier" and another option that says "Vcore Voltage". These need to be adjusted manually. You will also want to find the Turbo Boost option and disable it.

Slowly increase your multiplier by 100-200 mhz at a time over what the max clock speed was in HWmonitor (or whatever speed your CPU says it can turbo boost up to). Increase your Vcore in 0.025 increments over what that max number was you saw in HWMonitor. what it is Save the changes in BIOS and let your PC fire up.

Run one of the stress tests, if it freezes or restarts, you'll need to increase your Vcore a bit more (the CPU needs more voltage). Keep on eye on temps though, increasing your Vcore has a direct effect on your maximum CPU temp achieved during stress testing....Google what the safe max temp is for your CPU.

Start conservatively, see where you get, get back to me, and we can go from there.
