Inquiries regarding overclocking Z170 Pro Gaming + i7 6700K
Hello everyone!
Be warned, I'm still learning and have been studying to fix this – it's an ongoing process. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I encountered some issues while attempting to overclock my CPU.
I attempted to follow a guide, but only partially, since my BIOS differs:

Initially, it looks like my MB doesn't have an XMP profile; only Auto and Manual are available.
Moreover, using the EZ Overclocking wizard causes a black screen, forcing me to reset everything back to defaults.
I'm trying to overclock directly through the BIOS, but I can't locate the multiplier or the XMP profile.
Any suggestions? Am I doing something incorrectly?
Thank you!
navigate to bios
press f7 to open the advanced menu
select the ai tweaker tab
choose cpu core ratio, then sync all
adjust the 1 core ratio limit and enter your preferred multiplier
the voltage setting is at the bottom
set it to manual and input your desired voltage
