I5-6600k can't overclock

GreyWhat · Jan 24, 2017

Hey guys,
maybe someone could help me.

MB: MSI H270 gaming m3
CPU: i5-6600k
GPU: MSI GTX1060 6gb

So when I try to overclock CPU I can choose between CPU Ratio and Ring Ratio,
but I cant choose CPU Ratio more than 3.6MHz. Ring ratio isn't locked. What can I do with this? Please help...

p.s. Sorry for my English

Ring Ratio has to do with your CPU cache and really doesn't impact much outside of benchmarks.

There are two factors to overclocking a CPU.
Base Clock, and Multiplier.

You don't really have to worry about base clock if you don't want to. Most laymen just bump up the multiplier a few. The Base clock is a number around 100, and the multiplier is a number around 40, depending on the CPU.

You can see for mine i have a Base Clock of 103 and a multiplier of 45. 45x103= 4635 hence my speed of 4.635GHz.

Hope that makes sense!
