My I5 3570k will not overclock

Solution
you need to take it off auto, auto makes the cpu, ram and everything else tied to that clock overclock at the same time. if you take it off auto, you can overclock the cpu, and clock the ram back to stock speeds. also, there is sometimes a hidden feature to unlock the bios, usually by hitting enter/f1 you also need to up the violtage slightly to get a good overclock, and if your overclocking your ram, too, you will need to up the ram voltage and pklace a fan over your ram.
