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?

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