What do you mean by "blck" and "bclk" @djdwosk97

The only way to OC a non "k" is with upping the core clock. Which is BLCK (baseclock basically). The most you would ever be able to get is maybe from 100 MHz to 105 if you are lucky (so 5%) but it can negatively affect other things. Basically for the small performance increase, its not worth it. Unless you have a k version, don't overclock. Its not recommended.

Yes and no. You have top overclock with the blck. Which usually yields unsatisfactory results and can cause issues as thee bclk is tied to the PCIe slots.

Base clock. A CPU has abase clock, haswell is 100mhz. So a 4690 has a base clock of 100 MHz and a multiplier of 35 creating an effective frequency if 3500mhz (3.5ghz). With older processors you could change the base clock quite easily. With haswell the base clock is very limited and when changed you also affect PCIe stability as haswell PCIe is related to the base clock.

Basically, you shouldn't be doing it as it can be a stability nightmare.
