CPU/BIOS Overclocking Issues

Hello! I have a system with a Ryzen 7 1700x on a MSI B350 Tomahawk MOBO. I recently went into the BIOS to try and overclock a little above my stock frequency (I don't do a lot of high intensity stuff, so I don't need a significant overclock) and in the BIOS it would not allow me to overclock the CPU at all. I can overclock the RAM, but it won't let me change any values of the CPU frequency. Any ideas for how to fix this?

It will allow you to change the frequency. But you shouldn't be overclocking a Ryzen 8 core with that board anyway. The VRM is just too crappy.
