Im currently running on an i5 8500 and its already overclocked at 3,90 GHz. Using the H310-A Pro motherboard by MSI, I have read online that the CPU can be overclocked up to 4,10 GHz. How can this be done?
Cheers!

your processor cannot be overclocked.  Only X and K processors can be overclocked.

But then why does it say „Maximum boost speed 4.1Ghz“ and how do i then have 3,90Ghz?

That is not overclocking.  Read this:
