How to overclock with no overclock option in bios? - moudi5 - Dec 21, 2015
My motherboard is hp and I'm running Windows 10. When I go to bios setup there isn't a overclocking tweaked or something like that. Can someone help?

Custom BIOS so I don't think you can OC it then if you don't have it as an option or a driver for it.

You simply don't.
HP flashes a custom BIOS so you can't overclock.
Your CPU is more than likely locked as well, so even if you get an unlocked CPU, you won't be able to overclock on that board.

If I buy a different motherboard will it solve it? Or will it create more problems

It depends.
You more than likely have a locked CPU, so even if you do buy a new board, you'll likely only be able to do BCLK overclocking.
Can you download Speccy from here http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download and post a screenshot?

Anything with that socket is not worth overclocking to begin with. If you can OC at all, you wont even notice the difference on that thing.
CPU speed is not all about how much MHz you got.
