Hello,
I understand that the only chipset enabling overclocking the K models through multiplier is the Z series on the Intel side. I reviewed the BIOS of my Asrock H570 Phantom Gaming 4, which is a budget board, and found the CPU Ratio setting was present. I adjusted it to 4.6 Ghz in BIOS, but it still limited me from going beyond that speed.
From AMD's perspective, I haven't faced such limitations unless you're using an extremely affordable motherboard like the 760G or A320.

It seems the board has limited capabilities, offering only 8 phases at 50A power. From my experience, the 11600K really needs more. If you need higher performance, consider a quality Z-series motherboard with excellent VRM.

I've noticed the "Base Frequency Boost" option in some Asrock boards. It appears in the OC Tweaker part of the BIOS, but my board doesn't include it. I'm not aiming to push the CPU beyond its limits; I just want to understand if other manufacturers can let users independently enable overclocking for K models through multiplier settings, even though Intel claims H and B series aren't supported. Apologies if this wasn't explained clearly.

Where I can't provide details about location and method, that limitation was reduced in some ways with the 5xx chipset (11th generation), probably to encourage sales.

I plan to swap the mobo. I believe the GIGABYTE Z590 UD AC is the right choice. I’m also considering the Hyper 212 black edition and thinking about getting a Cooler Master MasterAir MA612 Stealth ARGB instead. What are your thoughts?
