MSI Z170A gaming M7 - BIOS query

Hi

Been looking in the BIOS for the above board and I can't seem to adjust the "CPU ratio". It just says "auto" and I can't see anyway to change it manually! Seems a bit odd. Normally just have to highlight it and press return and then select / enter what you want. Just doesn't seem to be any way to change it.
IE. Auto is not in square brackets (IE.[auto]).

Even stranger, as I've been playing around with the Intel Extreme tuning utity and that seemed to allow me to change it.

Any ideas???

Have you tried the + and - buttons when AUTO is highlighted?

Indeed.
Easy to miss, if like me you tend to re-build maybe every 2/3 years or so

And it doesn't mention it in the mobo manual for the new board.
Checked... and it did in the manual for the previous SB mobo.

Glad you got it sorted
