Specs:
cpu: i5 4670k
mobo: gigabyte sniper B5
cooler: noctua DH-14
psu: antec 750w gamer
gpu: amd HD7950
case fans: corsair af120 performance edition
case: antec p280
I am pretty new to overclocking, i had an i7 860 at 4.0ghz on a p55a-ud5 for ages and i figured if i picked up a i5 4670k it would be a good upgrade. Friend of mine said he had just won a gigabyte sniper M5 in a competition and i could have it for $100 which was an awesome deal.
I pay him and i get it and to my surprise it was actually a B5 not an M5, i still got it for a little cheaper than retail and i needed another motherboard so i didn't worry. Yesterday i got some new cooling for my case and CPU so i could overclock. On stock cooler i was sitting at 3.6ghz everything auto just letting it turbo till i got a proper cooler.
I realise the motherboard isn't made for overclocking but i saw on some reviews that 4770ks could reach 4.5ghz on it pretty easily and i am only looking for 4.4 if i can. The problem is i am not even remotely experienced with haswell and i cant get it past 3.8ghz. I'm using real temp, cpuz and intel burn test for the monitoring.
The main problem i am having is that the only thing i can change is the multiplier and not the bclk, is that a limitation of the motherboard? is there any options that will make the overclock easier/better if they are disabled/enabled?

i've been reading through things such as that but im still having so much trouble getting it past 3.8.
any links or advice would be most appreciated!
