Increasing CPU boost clock?

So I am going to be receiving my new i7 6700k for my new build soon and instead of doing a normal overclock which will run at a higher clock speed all the time is it possible to "overclock" the boost clock?  This might be a really dumb question but I really don't know if it possible.  The reason I am asking is because I don't want my CPU to run faster, hotter etc. all the time only when it is needed during games or 3D rendering (3D modelling course at college).  Also a boost clock of 4.2 ghz over 4 ghz core clock seems kinda weak but it is obviously that way for a reason, whatever that may be.  Any help would be awesome, thanks!

When you overclock the ratio you affect the boost clock. Just enable C-states and make windows run the balanced profile if you want to CPU to run at lower clock.

You don't even need to run balanced profile. Adaptive voltage and regular c-states is plenty, even on high performance profile... (which is what I am using now)

New forum update seems to be working well....
