I just purchased an i7-3770K from a friend who was upgrading his setup. I'm currently running it without any changes, but this is my first unlocked CPU, and I'm curious if it's feasible to overclock it using the MOBO(H61M-P23). I've looked into some information but found mixed advice, and MSIs website suggested the "OC Genie," which I haven't tried since my last processor was an i5-2400.

Adjusting the base clock is possible but requires careful handling. It's uncertain if this method works with a H61 chipset.
