It works immediately your system is in OS and or you press F10 and enter after changing something in bios.
Yes it is easy if you take it slow and do not over complicate things. You only need to change 4 settings at the end of the day. Mode of OC to XMP, the multi, your LLC to medium and the vcore.

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