Thank you for your response. Before finalizing this thread, I was wondering if your motherboard is capable of handling such an overclock? As mentioned by others, it wasn’t built for OC purposes. The performance would likely be subpar, and the board’s lifespan could be affected. However, I’ve done overclocking on less reliable boards before. It’s still at your own risk, as we always are with any overclocking attempts. Even then, I wouldn’t recommend it, considering the potential issues people face with that particular board running high-end CPUs under stress.
The motherboard struggles to handle 125w CPUs at normal settings because of its limited VRM design. Adding VRM heatsinks might help.
