Hi guys, when trying to overclock my 8700k I saw that the clock speed was being throttled when running more than 5 threads in Prime95. Intel XTU showed that the cause of this is power limit throttling, and after some research I learned that what I need to do is increase Turbo Boost Short Power Max and Turbo Boost Power Max.
The problem is, my BIOS won't let me change these values by much. It only lets me set the short limit up to 150 and the long limit up to 130. Is there a way to override this? When I try to set it higher, it says "Invalid input, auto adjusted". I can make the changes in XTU, and it does fix the throttling, but then the settings are reverted after restarting.
I'm using an ASRock Z370M-ITX/ac motherboard by the way, and here's my complete build:

Temperatures are in the 50s when torture testing.
