I'm trying to oc my i5-6600 (non k) by adjusting the bclk but whenever I exit the bios It restarts twice and its like none of my settings were applied. Everything is still saved in the bios when I go back to it. I have a z170a pcmate mobo.

Welcome to the forums!

its like none of my settings were applied.
What exactly do you mean by this?

The non-k is locked so increasing the base clock can only be done in minor amounts, for almost negligible effects. If you're suggesting that you don't feel as though you're getting a performance increase, it's because of this, it's a locked processor, and increasing the base clock will yield negigble improvements being as it can't really be changed much.
