Why won't My Motherboard Let Me OC?

So when I went into the bios to oc my Pentium G3258 on my MSI B85M-E45 all the option are there to oc but I can't click on or adjust any values. After running msi live updates and by the look of things it updated the bios from windows not via flashing it? Please Help!

 

Thanks :)

Its is beacause it is a Non-Overclockable chipset

Some manuf. allow for G3258 overclocking on B85 boards. Not sure about that one, google for a BIOS version that allows it.

Could be removed from the mainsite, but linger on the internet.

The G3258 has a unlocked multiplier and half the boards bios is dedicated to oc'ing.

There is a bios for the board that should allow it.
