    ok well i dont think im getting the best performance out of my cpu (i have a i5 3450) and i dnt know how to over clock i know its ment to be easy and all , i just useally mess up stuff and dont want to take the risk and my motherboard has click genie is this any good ? and also i have a msi z77A-G41 mobo and it says when i go into the click bois 2 menu i need to download me 8 driver for overclocking and it also says there is a new driver update for my bois and it says install and when i click install it , nothing happens for a while then a message pops up do you want to remove clock bios 2 completely along with everything else that came with it and i dont know weather its deleting all of the stuff so in can just update everything , but i dont want to risk it just incase its not ment to come up and uninstalls my bios which i dont see being good , so can any one help me and tell me if OC Genie is worth tuning on , how to get the me8 driver and the new bois update to install.

    You can only overclock K series CPUs. Your 3450 is not a K series CPU, you can not overclock it.

    Yeah......The gain is so minimal I wouldn't even consider it an overclock tbh. It's certainly not going to be beneficial at all.

    You can get maybe 100-200mhz out of it by upping the base clock, but more than likely that'll make it unstable past 104 or 105 without pumping more voltage into it.

    Now, considering you obviously don't know what you're doing in the BIOS, I suggest you leave it alone. If you wanted to overclock you should have bought a K series.
