Overcolck a non K CPU
Overcolck a non K CPU
there was the H170 Hyper with the BCLK, they attempted to overclock non-K CPUs, though it's unclear if they were still available.

I own a Lenovo desktop y700 and I’m unsure about the motherboard model... What exactly is BCLK? Most major computer manufacturers turn off all overclocking options in the BIOS, so you can’t really go over the clock speed.
BCLK is one of the timing references in your PC that you can adjust if the BIOS allows it. The BCLK multiplied by the CPU multiplier gives the processor’s actual speed. For example, a 100 MHz BCLK with a 38 multiplier equals a 3.8 GHz system.
I wouldn't try overclocking a motherboard from a branded machine. With their simple circuitry and BIOS, they're not really designed for any kind of optimization. Doing it could lead to bigger problems. I'm uncertain about the outcome since you can't test it. My HP systems used ASUS OEM MBs without "very basic circuitry," which had limited BIOS functionality. They definitely had weak oscillator support, so using SW tools like SETFSB wouldn't work unless you know the exact oscillator type.
I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it becomes significantly more challenging on a branded machine, unless there are issues with the BIOS. The process heavily relies on the particular motherboard, though not all branded boards have such basic circuitry.
