I would like to know if anybody has been able to overclock on the CPU side with this MOBO and CPU. This is my own private build and I want to overclock because this processor was built to OC it seems from what I hear online. My Build Components are as follows:

CPU - Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor
CPU COOLER - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
MOBO - ASRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
MEMORY - Kingston HyperX Fury Blue 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
STORAGE - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
VIDEO CARD - Zotac GeForce GTX 960 4GB Video Card
CASE - Deepcool TESSERACT SW ATX Mid Tower Case
POWER SUPPLY - EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
OPTICAL DRIVE - Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
OS - Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit
WIFI NETWORK ADAPTER - TP-Link TL-WN781ND PCI-Express x1 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter

Currently CPU temps vary between 39-42 degrees Celsius. Current stock clock speed is 3.2 gHz. I will also probably upgrade this processor someday so longevity of the card, although important to me, is less important than if I was planning on using this for over five years.

I believe this is the same mobo I have and yes you are able to oc.
The auto mode works for the first 3-4 suggestions.
I can get upto 4.0 stable, starts crashing after but this is without raising voltage.
I kinda gave up on OC since It doesn't give me noticeable gain.

You also have 2 more cores.
