The best option is to google for 12600K overclocking.
But, in the Intel Microcode, there is a piece of code, that also determines which CPU, and which chipset is used, and this opens the way, to CPU overclocking.
The test simply checks if a K series CPU is used, and if there is a Z series chipset in use.
Only when both conditions are met (K CPU in combination with Z chipset), Intel opens the possibility to overclock the CPU.
And not every CPU can handle higher frequencies, so even 2 different 12600K, it can happen, one can reach higher speeds than the other.
