You can attempt to overclock your GIGABYTE P61A-D3 using various BIOS settings or third-party tools. Check the manufacturer's documentation for specific instructions, and consider using software like HWiNFO or OCCT to fine-tune the clock speeds. If you need guidance on the steps, let me know!

The Intel CPU lacking the 'k' suffix at the end cannot be overclocked at a hardware level

You can't boost non-K chips, but you require a Z-series board to upgrade a K-series processor. Missing either of these components prevents overclocking an Intel CPU.
