CPU Overclocking

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.

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.
