Hello everyone, I just completed building my new PC with an i5 6600k (3.5ghz stock) on an ASUS H170-pro motherboard, 16GB of DDR4 2133MHz RAM with a liquid cooler. I was attempting to overclock the CPU to 4.4ghz but found that my BIOS doesn’t allow it beyond 3.9 and I’m unsure why. I’ve already tried updating the BIOS, but it doesn’t work. Can you help me?

Use a Z170 motherboard to push the i5 6600k beyond its limits. On an H170 platform, the only option is to raise the clock speeds to the highest Turbo Boost setting available, which is 3.9GHz.

I didn't realize that... I'm a beginner.
Thank you.
