i5-6400 Non K overclock

[Luca |Computer]

I bought my PC from an 8pack bundle couple years ago, came at like 4.40 gHz, and it is on 2.70 gHz atm, how do I make it higher? I am new to it and using the BIOS. I have the z170-e

I think it involves increasing the bclk as the CPU multiplier is locked, have a Google around and I'm sure you can find some guides.

Do I need to unlock it, and set it to the ghz wanted?

If you have not updated the bios, all the settings are here.

The download link for the BIOS is a dead link. :/

Did you update your bios?

I linked that thread as it had all the settings you need to get your overclock back, as long as you did not update the bios.

No idea about that download link, sorry.

I must've sometime yeah, I can downgrade though can't I? I found an alternate download.

Hmm, it's saying it isn't a proper BIOS when I try an install...
