Because it is not an overclocking chip or motherboard. If you want to OC a Pentium you buy the G3258.

Even then that's just an overclocker's toy. Get an i3 for gaming at least.

You should have done some research before you bought your hardware, the only modern Pentium that can be overclocked is the G3258 as it was an anniversary release to celebrate the Pentium name turning 20 years old. While basically the 3220 and the 3258 are the same thing you cannot overclock the 3220 as intel has it locked down like the rest of their non-k CPU's.

If you would like to OC, go with "Z" version of motherboard and "K" version of CPU.

Like i7 4790k and Z97 motherboard for example.

 

Overclocking on M/H motherboard series and not "K" CPU editions ... good luck with it xD
