I’ve searched countless guides/forums and even more videos trying to get a good overclock for my outdated chip.
Many people experience steady frames after their overclock and i’m just not sure what exactly to change myself to get the 5ghz (?) all the forums have said I can achieve out of my Khaby Lake i3-7350k 4.2hz chip.
If anyone has played around with this chip before or has any assistance with Voltage Ratios and whatnot using Asus DIP 5 would be greatly appreciated.

didn’t you ask this already, if you want smooth gameplay an overclock isn’t going to make up for missing cores. 2 cores isn’t enough for a lot of games. either limit the games you play or get a CPU with more cores.
It looks like you have the correct chipset for overclocking, you have to go into BIOS and change the multiplier of the cpu so it reaches the desired frequency. That might make it unstable and cause BSOD or system crashes, for it to be stable you have to increase CPU voltage. Increasing CPU voltage will increase temperature of the CPU and if you will increase it too much you might damage it. Overclocking requires good cooling and sufficient PSU.
Slowly increase multiplier and voltage in the BIOS until it gets too hot or passes over 1.45V (safe limit for sky and kaby lake). If it posts and can run prime95 for a while, good. If it crashes or won’t post change settings. Do keep in mind an overclock will make a difference, but can’t make up for two cores. If you don’t want to buy another motherboard but want some more performance out of your current setup, it’s worth looking into CoffeeTime (modding older 1151 boards for 8th/9th gen.)
