Hi guys,
I'm considering buying a used i7 4790K or i7 4770K and overclocking it to over 4ghz, as I think this would be the most cost effective upgrade from an i5 4440.
I have an Asus B85 Plus motherboard. Will multiplier overclocking be possible? Have any of you managed to increase the multiplier on a B85 board?
A forum member reached 4.1Ghz, with the same motherboard in 2018, please see link below:

Am I likely to get similar results? Or, would a B85 chipset only allow increasing the multiplier upto the Turbo boost speed of the CPU?
EDIT - I also have the same BIOS version (2.10.1208).
