You won't need a different mobo or different RAM really.
I was referring to starting at 4.5ghz to get used to using the BIOS to overclock manually. The stepping up one multi at a time until it isn't stable*. You will want to follow the directions and stop using the automatic overclock as it won't use an appropriate amount of voltage (sometimes too much sometimes too litte). Also, I wouldn't bother using the Windows-based overclocking software either as 9/10 it is bunk and just puts more load on your CPU than necessary to hinder your scores. You should be able to boot at your maximum multiplier (which I lined out above).
If you want to find your maximum multiplier:
In your BIOS/UEFI:
Turn on CPU Pll Overvoltage
Set your vcore to 1.55-1.6v
Turn off the power savings features (Speedstep/EIST, C1E, C2,C3,C6, anything that is a C-state)
Set your CPU Pll voltage to ~1.775v (more or less depending on your motherboard that value may not be one that you can type in, but one notch above or below will be fine)
Increase your multiplier one notch at a time until you get a blinking cursor after the POST screen. If you see a blinking cursor you have reached your maximum multiplier (basically a brick wall where no more voltage will help - mine is unfortunately a 52x chip, for example where 53 gives me a blinking cursor, some people are lucky enough to get 54/55/56/57/58/59(!)x chips, I wasn't, and the higher they are the more rare they are). If you can get into Windows (or at least see the Windows logo start animating) it means that the multiplier works and may just need more vcore to be stable. Of course watching your temperatures, especially during heavy threaded 2D benchmarks (Wprime1024 is a monster for putting out heat, especially with 4c/8t enabled)
