You have a Dell Optiplex 390 motherboard and wish to boost your i5 2500K CPU performance. What is the best and safest setting to avoid going too far? Is 4.3Ghz the recommended limit? Share the steps for overclocking, and let me know if you want video or images. Your specs are: Dell Optiplex 390, i5 2500K (3.3Ghz), 16GB DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA GTX 650 (1GB GDDR5), 350GB HDD, Windows 10 Pro. Thank you.
On an OEM board such as the one from Dell, overclocking isn't possible. If it were, the voltage limit would matter more than the clock speed.

Works with 2nd/3rd generation chips? Probably not. It's better to save up and skip the near $90 cost.
You're also stuck with used boards... Honestly, I'd rather get a cheap, used i7 than waste money on a new one.
Are you aware of the compatible processor recommended for your "Dell Optiplex 390 Motherboard"?
