The board features only 3+1 phase power, moderately low-quality parts, and lacks heat sinks on the VRMs. It isn't built for long-term reliability when you overclock. If you do overclock, simply increase the CPU clock multiplier and observe the results. Keep the voltage unchanged; it will adjust dynamically as required.
Using the standard cooler will limit the extent of OC potential. Overheating will lead to throttling and prevent maintaining full clock speeds.

I need to understand the motherboard, the cooling setup, and the PSU model.
Fixed, but I don’t know which PSU I have.
Power Supply?
Yes, this will help decide if OC'ing is safe. Also, what revision is your board using? 1.0, 1.1, 1.2? It’s marked on the board near the corner by the PCI slots.
By the way, this board isn’t built for OC'ing, so proceed with caution.

Yes, this affects whether OC is safe or not. Also, what revision is your board using? 1.0, 1.1, 1.2? Usually marked near the corner on the board by the PCI slots.

I've tried overclocking my CPU and it functioned, though not optimally. I believe the revision is 1.0.
