Also tried intel XMU utility from Windows, but offers no higher multipler than 42x.
42x is dead stock, so what gives with an unlocked K that can only go down???

I read 5GHz is not difficult, is that entirely BCLK, or the multiplier will go further
than XMU is offering? What do I need to be using to adjust this from Windows?

Its the new ASRock mining board with 13 slots, and has every option under the
sun to turn off thermal protections and other crazy stuff, but unlocked multiplier
adjustments are not there, or slightly too well hidden.

IIRC, that 13 slot ASrock board is a B series chipset, and those do not allow CPU multiplier overclocking.

EDIT: H series, same deal.
 
Waste of 50 extra bucks for useless unlock.
Switch things around next project.
