BIOS settings that fail to function do not provide any conclusive evidence. Certain B660 boards employ an independent clock generator and allow BCLK overclocking. None of these boards support multiplier overclocking; a Z690 motherboard paired with a K series CPU is required for such adjustments.
They do work, but not to the extent OP wants them to.
Intel and MSI, both, say otherwise.
I've said it 2 times in this topic, but i guess i have to say it for the 3rd and final time as well;
Each CPU has base frequency at which they operate at. And they also have turbo boost.
For i5-12600KF, those are:
P-core: base 3.7 Ghz, boost 4.9 Ghz
E-core: base 2.8 Ghz, boost 3.6 Ghz
When CPU is OCd, usually P-core
base
frequency is changed.
Overclock is when P-Core base frequency is increased over base value. E.g 3.7 Ghz -> 4.2 Ghz.
And underclock is when P-Core base frequency is decreased below base value. E.g 3.7 Ghz -> 3.5 Ghz.
OP
can
OC their CPU, increasing P-core base frequency up to 4.9 Ghz. <- This is still CPU OC.
Sure, there is limit set on how high OP can change the multiplier, which seems to be 49 for B660 chipset, resulting into 4.9 Ghz. Z690 chipset doesn't have multiplier limit on it, thus when having enough thermal headroom, one can surpass 5.0 Ghz for i5-12600KF.
That, you can go and argue with Intel. I did not make the chipset nor the specs page. I just follow what manufacturer and board partner are saying.
Here, go crazy,

i5-12600K, B660, multiplier 49, BCLK 100 Mhz.
this means you simply turn on the OC Genie and it will automatically handle the CPU overclocking for you.
Yes, I understand this and refer to it as "poor man's OC". My MSI MoBo also offers a "one-button OC" feature, but I avoid it because it reduces voltage too much. Still, the truth is that B660 and H670 chipset MoBos can be used to adjust the CPU settings. It was once exclusive to Z-series MoBos, but now it's available. However, I don't recommend using B660/H670 for CPU adjustments. It's better to use a Z690 chipset MoBo instead.
This is not about increasing the CPU speed beyond the manufacturer's limit. It refers to Intel Turbo Boost technology. All motherboards and chipsets are compatible with this feature. Overclocking occurs when you push the CPU beyond its maximum multiplier setting. Motherboards with the B660 chipset do not permit exceeding the Intel maximum. Only boards with the Z690 chipset allow multiplier overclocking beyond what Intel specifies. You can repeat this explanation many times, but it still doesn't clarify what you're explaining. The concept of overclocking isn't clear to you. Intel's documentation states that a 12600KF reaches up to 4.90 GHz under Turbo mode on any board with any chipset.

With Z series boards, the multiplier can exceed 49, which is considered overclocking.
