Overclocking Noob

[boardinwelts]

Hey! So I recently got a new AIO liquid cooler (Corsair H110i GT) and I wanted to try overclocking since it's something that I've been wanting to do for a while. However, I've never done it before. First, my specs.

FX-8350 Processor

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard

Corsair H110i GT

MSI Radeon R9 390 (Crossfire once the second one arrives tomorrow)

Corsair RM1000i Power Supply

 

I tried following the instructional video posted by JayzTwoCents, but once I got to actually changing the voltage of the CPU, my BIOS was not allowing me to edit that value. I had CPU Unlock enabled, which I believed should have unlocked both the CPU Voltage and the CPU Clock speed, but neither of those were able to be edited. I'm wondering if anyone knows why this could be and if so I would really appreciate the advice.

have you flashed your board with the latest bios ?

have you flashed your board with the latest bios ?

I have not, mostly because I assumed that since it's a new board and a new revision, it would have the latest bios already on it

try that , it always helps.

Alright it's worth a shot

just make sure your system doesn't lose power and close all software before flashing.
