Is it the Maximus V Extreme or the Maximus V Fomula?
At its simplest all you need to do to overclock is to change the AI overclock tuner to XMP, or Manual if your RAM doesn't use XMP.
After that change the value of BCLK to 100, if it isn't already that. Then Increase the multiplier to a wanted amount. As you increased the multiplier the CPU will need more power so you'll need to balance that out by increasing CPU voltage. After every OC go into windows and run HWmonitor and Prime 95 to see if it's stable and to check temps. Try to keep load temps at 70-75C for a 24/7 OC.

For the latest CPUs and with the UEFI bios it's about the same for all mobos.

There is one key "rule" when over clocking.

Let temperatures be your guide.


All else is secondary.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.
