Hi. My i7 6700k is already overclocked to 4.7GHz, and I need to raise my General Frequency from 3000MHz to at least 4000MHz, which is the standard setting. I'm using an Asus Z170-A motherboard.

If you need the additional 1Ghz for overclocking, do not adjust the base clock—it should be done via the multiplier instead. Changing the base clock impacts everything connected to the CPU, including Northbridge, RAM, SATA devices, and more. This method can cause damage or destroy these components. You really shouldn't attempt this on your setup.

Are you referring to the main time source?
