Use a high-quality CPU cooler and ensure your system has sufficient power delivery to support overclocking.

Unusual combination since the board costs more than the CPU, but I think it wasn’t brand new. For overclocking, BIOS is usually better because software can be less reliable for CPU performance. You can adjust the core voltage to 1.35 or 1.4v medium/no LLC and use a multiplier of 47 or 48 across all cores based on your voltage or CPU quality. From an Intel perspective, you can set VSOC to 1.35-1.4v medium/no LLC and frequency between 2400-2500 MHz, depending on your GPU. In terms of RAM, clock speeds can go up to around 2500+ MHz, though RAM overclocking is limited—some CPUs handle 5000+ MHz but most guides suggest only safe voltages like 1.5V. Ignore settings below 4000 overclocks since they’re mostly people using a 1:1 clock speed on non-Apu boards, which won’t reflect the device’s true potential. If you want more details about your RAM model, just check the manufacturer’s site and compare settings.
