Confused With Editing CPU Clock Ratio in Gigabyte Bios

So, I’m just now looking into overclocking my skylake CPU and in every tutorial video that I’ve seen by people including JayzTwoCents and TekSyndicate, I haven’t been able to figure out how to edit the value on the right under CPU clock ratio. All what I can seem to edit is the value on the left. I was going to test out 46 on the right value, but no matter what I do with the +/- keys on numpad or with the ones next to the backspace bar, I can’t seem to figure out how to edit that value and so it just stays at 40. As a result, when I saved the profile with 46 on the left and rebooted after saving, my PC crashed and I had to change it back down to 40 in order for my PC not to crash. How do I go about editing the value on the right?

This is how it looks when I try as I described above: https://imgur.com/a/uzj0A

It depends on the MB Bios on how you change the Multiplier Values. Did you try using page up or down.?
Did you try the CPU upgrade field above clock ratio to see what it offers.?

Some multiplier values cannot be changed if certain settings are on Auto and have to be changed to manual. List your Gigabyte MB if not sure and i'll try to figure it out from the manual.

Yeah gigabyte is so confusing after switching from Asus. But those settings on the right are stock settings, dont mind them. Just edit those on the left and confirm in windows that they working.
Which CPU are u trying to overclock? 6700k? Dont forget about the voltage, you need to increase VCORE in order higher frequency to work. Also dont forget Load Line Calibration (LLC) , go to Bios-> Voltages, find LLC and change it to HIGH using + on your numpad. It will prevent voltage drop on high loads.
