Hello, i have a problem with my motherboard. its an older board (MSI X58 Pro-e) LGA1366 board. I have successfully got my CPU overclocked to 4ghz but i cant use any voltage controls on my motherboards bios so I have to run 1.4 volts on air. All of the voltage options are there but they are greyed out. This is causing my cpu to thermal throttle with load and about a 50 degrees c idol. Apparently the sweet spot voltage for this OC is around 1.3 volts but my board wont let me change it at all. Does anyone have any ideas how to unlock it? I have left a picture below of the locked voltages.Thanks in advance!2016-12-20 22.07.42.jpg
