I recently got a new gaming desktop, and I wanted to overclock it. I am running an i5-7600k on an MSI Z270-A-Pro motherboard. When I went into the BIOS settings, the multiplier was grayed out, but I was able to change the base clock, in fact, the tips on the right said to adjust it for overclocking. When I looked at the guides online, they said to change the multiplier. Regardless, I was able to get a stable 4.8 ghz, however I am still a bit confused as to what is going on. Does anyone have an explanation for what is happening?
EDIT: accidentally said i7 instead of i5
