Question What is +4 Overclocking?

[clutchc]

I came across this term recently, but don't think I've ever heard of it before. Google hasn't helped. Can someone fill me in?

Do you have any context that could help?

I've never heard it used before.

It had to do with overclocking an older locked i5-3450p using something called +4 overclocking. I stumbled across it while searching for something else, but the discussion only briefly mentioned it like it was a common term (back then?). But I can't find that discussion now. I think I cleaned my cache since then.
