RTX 3070 and Intel Core i7-10700K

Does anybody know if i can overclock the RTX 3070 and Intel Core i7-10700K?

i know you can do it via the msi program (graphics card) but what about the cpu? i got told my motherboard didnt have the ability to overclock as its a buisness one?

bought the pc from chillblast.

You can overclock your GPU with MSI Afterburner (or other similar software). The CPU you have is unlocked and capable of overclocking, but your motherboard does not allow for unlocked multipliers to be utilized, effectively making it not possible/not worth trying to overclock your CPU.

ah i see, do you think its worth buying a new motherboard??

To be honest i can run most games at 150+ fps on high settings.

Personally I'd say no since you are already reasonably happy with what you have now. I'd rather save that money for a future rebuild because you won't get some major improvement from overclocking.
