There are a couple of questions that I'm gonna ask and the main one is, Can I overclock my CPU on this Motherboard?

Motherboard: http://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c04790224
CPU: I5 6600K 3.5GHz (Stock, I want it to be around 3.8GHz)

I bought this as a pre-built, (I don't care if I could of got it cheaper or anything like that) and I want to know if I can overclock as A: There is an option in the BIOS about it, however, changing it doesnt seem to do anything (Pictures are attached) and B: It's a Z170 chipset, which from what I have read means I can overclock my CPU. The main thing that has stopped me is that changing things in the BIOS haven't actually made any difference, when changing the Overclocking options.
You can see what I mean in the images.

Another question is, and I am guessing it will is, will this void my warranty?
And also, if I can do it, how? As I stated above, changing them doesn't seem to do anything.

Many thanks.
(Please reply if you need any more information)

I would not be surprised if HP deliberately disabled OC options on this board / computer. The last thing HP support wants is for someone to call with PC problem (OEMs support Windows, too), only to turn out that OC settings were set too aggressively by the junior.

Yes I am, but if so, how can I do it, what do I put as the "Overclock ratio" thingy?
