CPU Overclocking

[RichPapi]

Good day, this is my first time overclocking my computer and I wanted to know how would I know it is overclocked if I look in bios and still see stock ratio?

If it still reads the stock ratio, then it's still stock. Ensure your multiplier/ratio is set to what you want - for example, I would set a multiplier of 46 for 4.6GHz 8600K overclock - and press F10 (which is save and exit) and I should get the prompt to say "Do you want to save these settings?" which below would say something like "Ratio 44 -> 46" and accept.

You can then check in Windows by going to something like CPUZ or HWMonitor and seeing what max multiplier you get.

what cpu do you have? because some have a much easier way to overclock.

I7 7000K 3.9MHz and the motherboard is a Asus H270 Plus

I did change the cpu ratio to 50 and the 1.30 voltage and then saved it. However what I am saying is when I went back into the bios it shows the same cpu ratio from last time even though I changed the cpu ratio to 50 and saved it.

Can only overclock on Z series chipsets, so that'd be your first issue.

The CPU is unlocked, yes, but with Intel you need to be using a Z-series chipset not an H in order to overclock.
