Hello everyone i just finished building my new pc and it has i5 6600k (3.5ghz stock) on a asus h170-pro mobo, 16gb of ram ddr4 2133mhz whit liquid cooler.
So i was trying to overclock my i5 to 4.4ghz but it seems that my bios dont allow me to go further than 3.9 and i dont know why; i've already tried to update my bios and it doesnt work can u help me pls?
 
Solution
You need a Z170 motherboard to overclock the i5 6600k. On an H170 board all you can do is bump your clockspeed up to the maximum Turbo Boost value of 3.9GHz.
