I have a msi z87-g45 gaming motherboard and i5-4670k. I tried to overclock (cpu ratio), but the bios (1.9 version) only lets to set the multiplier to 38. No matter if i try wit +/- or enter the value like 40 directly. If I press any key afterwards it gets reset to 38. But all over the internet there are guides, videos etc. saying you can go to 44 or even 46. What gives?!?
 
Thanks, that is the problem.

A year ago as I bought this CPU, along with some other stuff for my PC. I noted in some spreadsheet with prices, "4670K". But it turns out, I actually bought a 4670, as CPU-Z just kindly reminded me.

I wasn't aware it allows only 38 multiplier then. Now I tried to overclock for the first time and overlooked that little detail.
Thanks for your fast and correct answer!
