My motherboard can't be overclocked, but this tool seems to allow me to do so. I've never overclocked before—what are your thoughts? Are there any issues you might face?

You shouldn't be able to overclock the b150 m3 motherboard; I would recommend getting a new one. However, while considering alternatives, you might be able to adjust BLCK in BIOS first—set the maximum multiplier to around 40 or 42, then save it and test blck 102 or 103. Don't exceed 105.
