I7-6700k cpu ratio locked
Hello! Your Rog Strix B250G gaming setup with an i7-6700K processor is experiencing a lock-in of cores during overclocking on AI Tweaker. The issue might be related to the settings or environment you're using. Check your configuration and try adjusting the overclock parameters.
BigNastyID is correct.
Z boards are the top choice for overclocking. Many tasks remain challenging or impossible on non-Z boards from Asus. I own a Z97-A motherboard and an Intel i5 4690, yet I still achieved a 400mhz boost even though it was locked.
Asus permits OC on each RAM slot, but cannot do it in AI Tweaker unless you adjust the core clock in the BIOS under the advanced OC section. It automatically configures the required voltage according to the clock speed you specify.

Asus generally permits OC on every memory slot, but you can't perform it in AI Tweaker unless you adjust the core clock in the BIOS under the advanced OC settings. It automatically adjusts the required voltage according to the clock speed you choose. This is due to a chipset restriction defined by Intel in the microcode. The optimal "OC" possible on a non-Z board would be to lock the CPU at its maximum boost multiplier of 42. Going beyond that and needing higher clock speeds would require a Z-type chipset.
Not accurate. Some producers skipped this feature even in the Haswell models. Asus was the first to implement it. Every H81 series also includes OC support.
They were discussing various sockets and chipsets. Most of these ended up being removed due to BIOS updates, as Intel was dissatisfied and removed them via microcode changes. Therefore, while some non-Z socket 1150 boards allowed overclocking with specific BIOS versions, this wasn't the case for socket 1151 boards.
Sorry, I don't have any Skylake or Kaby Lake motherboards to verify. Please let me know if he checks and updates us.
