@subarucastro,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

Having an unlocked CPU (specifically an Intel "K" or "KF" series) or a discrete GPU doesn't automatically give you access to overclocking features on an HP gaming desktop. On retail motherboards, those features are exposed in the BIOS/UEFI. But on HP (and most OEM) systems, the BIOS is intentionally locked down -you won't see the same OC controls you'd find on custom-built or enthusiast gaming motherboards.

 

So even if your hardware is technically capable of overclocking, HP firmware will not give you the proverbial knobs to turn. The only limited adjustments you may find are fan profiles or power management settings.

 

If overclocking is a must-have feature, the only way around it is to move your hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.) into a retail gaming motherboard (Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, etc.) and PC case that supports those options.

 

Kind Regards,
