I was thinking about overclocking a GIGABYTE GA-B250M-DS3H using an I5-7600K, aiming for speeds near 4.2 or 4.4 GHz. It’s not ideal since the VRMs aren’t cooled, but I wanted to know how much heat the VRMs could absorb if I added a small voltage boost of +0.02 Volts to the CPU.

You are unable to increase the CPU speed because the motherboard isn't a Z-series model.

You can't really boost your CPU beyond its limits because the motherboard isn't built for that. Still, it might help you understand how much extra heat would build up if you try small adjustments without proper cooling.
