Core i-5 6400 overclocking

I was wondering if i could overclock my core i-5 6400 since it often peaks to 100% but barely hits 45°C. I found out that i can overclock it on certain mainboards or even on special bios versions with bclk but i could not find anything for my mainboard which is a Lenovo 90FL005YGE. 

 

Maybe someone can help me with this and many thanks in advance

On, intel, only k series is overclockable.

 

The 6000 series had a bug, that the base clock of locked processors could be changed on z170 motherboards, but they "fixed it" on some newer bios versions.

 

Because your motherboard seems to be an OEM motherboard, i don't think there is anyway for you to overclock at all.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

Anyone got an explanation for that?

the cpu boosts a bit to process  something in the back ground probably.

sadly you cant oc it. if you want extra performance get used 6700/7700.

Funny thing is tho that CPU-Z tells me my CPU is running at 3,1-3,2 gHz although the baseclock is 2,7. Anyone got an explanation for that?

 

base clock: 2.7ghz

boost clock: 3.3ghz. if even something small is running in backround the cpu will try to boot to its' boost clock.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.
