Hi! I know you can overclock i5-6400 and many other locked CPU's when adjusting base clock. I have compatible bios to change that. My base clock is 102.7 at the moment, because when I rise it to 102.8 or more, it wont work. It reboots several times and then theres ''Overclocking failed! Press F1 to run setup''. How someone got like 4.5GHz with i5-6400 with just adjusting baseclock? Please tell me what im doing wrong or something, or do I need special bios?
