Hello, 

 

So, I need to, (just want to), overclock my PC's CPU. The only problem is, I have no idea how to do so. 

Here's my PC specifications, by the way: 

 

OS:

Windows 8.1 PRO 64 bit. 

 

CPU: 

Intel Core i7 4770K @ 3.50GHz
Haswell 22nm Technology.
 
Motherboard: 
Hewlett-Packard 2AF3 (SOCKET 0).
 
Graphics: 
Sapphire Radeon R9 290X 4GB Battlefield 4 Edition - I abhor Battlefield. GTA V PC for life.
 
RAM: 
32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28).
 
Storage: 
2TB Seagate ST2000DM001-1CH164 (SATA).
 
Optical Drives: 
hp BDDVDRW CH30L.
 
Audio (if this even remotely matters at all): 
AMD High Definition Audio Device
 
I guess what I'm really asking is if there's a program that I can use to do so. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thanks, 
-Will.

Thanks for reading!

Well you do it in the bios witch is done by the motherboard so you may want to change whatever abomination is made by Hewlett-Packard that is running that thing before you try to mess in the bios it is a Z series so it technically is possible but I wouldn't try to do it if i was starting off for my first time and it is because the bios on that board is probably the least user friendly ever.
