I recently upgraded my CPU to a i5-7600K and I'm trying to overclock it. When I change the settings in my bios the clock speed, in my bios, changes after save and restart. However when I run a stress test and HWMonitor my clock speed still maxes out at 3400MHz. Right now my bios is set to 51x multiplier and in the bios clock speed is reading 5100MHz. Have noticed the temps do seem to increase though. What gives?
Here is my current system:
CPU
Intel - Core i5-7600k

Corsair - H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard
Gigabyte - GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Tried turning memory XMP on and off
