Hi there! 🙂

That seems like a lot of OCing if you don't know much about OCing:p;)

If I were you I'd start reading some of the OC guides in the stickies in the Maximus section.....They will be mostly applicable to your system even if they aren't exactly for your board.....The BIOS will be mostly the same...and the principles definitely will be.

Just make sure you have good cooling for both the CPU and VRM before you add any volts:)
