Hey

i wanted to ask if i could overclock my non k i3 7100 on the Asus Z270-P Mainboard. And if its possible to go beyond 4 GHz ( 3.9 GHz is the Boost Clock right now ). Heat should be okay cause i got a 212X in my system right now. I thougt that i could just flash a BIOS Update and then its Overclockable.

Thank you for answers

If you want to overclock an i3 in the Kabylake range of processors, the only candidate is the i3-7350K. Anything without a K on it would be pointless to overclock.

On another note, overclocking is achieved with other parts supporting each other. A robust PSU with ample wattage, a case with good airflow as well as heatsinks on your motherboard's VRM area to cool the power delivery all play a part in getting consistent and long term results. Can you please list your full system's specs? List them like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
