Hello,
I'm just starting out with overclocking my PC. I've watched some tutorials but mostly seen them on ASUS boards rather than MSI ones, which made me a bit nervous...
My setup includes an AMD FX 8350, an MSI 970 GAMING motherboard, and 16GB of RAM.
I've noticed people achieving up to 20% but also came across some unusual BIOS settings that I wasn't aware of.
Anyone familiar with MSI could give me some advice? I'm experiencing performance drops and want to improve things a bit!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Are you looking to increase the CPU or GPU?
I chose the FX 8350 because of the CPU. The issue is my motherboard is an MSI 970 GAMING and has a different BIOS compared to ASUS (as seen in videos). I attempted tweaking, but my PC froze once and during Prime95 tests with multiple workers, it kept failing.
