I've heard non k versions are limited, but is possible. Is 400 MHz really the max the non k versions can go?
I've set my voltages to auto so my bios can decide it. Is this safe to switch it to?
Lastly, there's a minimum and maximum CPU cache. The minimum should be auto, right? And the maximum is my desired clock speed(ex. 4.0) or is it 4000? Do I leave turbo boost on or off?
Specs:
Motherboard: ASUS Gryphon Z87
CPU: I5 4670
CPU COOLER: Arctic cooler GT rev 2.0 (upgrading to hyper 212 EVO)
GPU: GTX 760
RAM: 16GB Samsung 1333mhz

If you start to experience any signs of instability, you would normally either raise the CPU voltage or lower the overclock. In your case, as you're not exceeding the Turbo Boost speed, you should be able to leave the voltage on auto. You're not pushing the CPU past a clock speed that it wasn't designed to run at, so manual voltage isn't necessary unless you want to bring the temperature down.

As the CPU has Turbo Boost the multiplier should be adjustable, just not as much as if it were unlocked. Pushing a locked multiplier to anything beyond its Turbo Boost speed is dangerous territory, so tread carefully.
EIST is essentially Turbo Boost in reverse. Rather than ramp up the clock speed for intensive tasks, EIST lowers it for mundane ones.

With an Intel non-k CPU, you can only overclock up to the Turbo Boost speed. You already have a compatible motherboard and good CPU cooler, so there are no problems there.
Make sure you do the changes in the BIOS. Once you adjust the multiplier, make sure you disable Turbo Boost and leave EIST enabled. EIST will ensure that your processor doesn't run at its highest speed all the time.
You can adjust the CPU voltage (VCORE) which will help bring the temperature down. Considering that you're only increasing the clock speed by 400Mhz and you have a good CPU cooler, it's not necessary.

Ok, so I went back into the bios, it seems that turbo boost MUST be on for CPU core ratio to be 3.8 ghz. (Or else it'll just won't let me do it) Is something wrong?That sounds normal to me.
Will it then boot into Windows OK w/Turbo and 3.8?
What speed does CPU-Z show while under load?

. I got a gtx 760 and it's fine, but I wanna have more fps while I'm at it
. Although, its idling at 50 celcius average, so I gotta get me a hyper 212 evo
