Hey there, I'm working on a budget build and got an i5-3570K with an ASRock H61M-VS motherboard. I was thinking about overclocking it, even though it seems small, but I wanted to check if it's possible. Thanks!

H61 motherboards cannot be overclocked. You might attempt BCLK OCing, though it doesn't provide much stability. Gains achieved during BCLK overclocking are limited, usually only a few MHz, and you could face stability problems. The safest approach is to stick with the original clock speeds.

Yeah, sure. I'm just a fool. I promise I didn't say I was stupid—I actually thought H boards couldn't be overclocked, and I don't think I'm that foolish.
