Hello. My MSI P41 C33 has a CPU that's a Core 2 Quad Q9550 at 2.83 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and an GTX 1050 Ti with 4 GB. The GPU seems to be the bottleneck in games. Can I overclock it using this motherboard? Also, the CPU fan is green with 200 PWM. Thanks.

not connected to the motherboard, I'm worried about that.
the motherboard only supports up to 1333 FSB, which is 333 base. your cpu is also at 333 with an 8.5 multiplier. since the cpu is locked on the multiplier, it seems not possible.
