I aim to get the best performance from my computer, especially since I run several games at 45-50-60 fps. I’m curious if overclocking would help and whether it’s safe. What precautions should I follow, and what does overclocking actually achieve? Can I really boost my PC’s speed with these specs?

Overclocking usually requires unlocked CPUs (K series). Your CPU remains locked, but you might try boosting BCLK slightly—though this isn’t recommended. It also depends on your motherboard’s compatibility. You could attempt overclocking RAM, but the gains will be small. Alternatively, you can push your GPU, which will raise heat output and needs strong cooling. This might be the most effective option, though it probably won’t significantly boost frame rates from 40 to 60.

PS: Overclocking is generally safe if you avoid excessive voltage increases and ensure proper cooling.

Oh okay ty. This is how much i have moved all the numbers, can i do it higher?
And when i moved my core clock to 150, the heaven benchmark program started crashing, so its down to 132 now.
