Can't change settings on Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 motherboard for overclock

toorf · 8 Aug 2017 at 19:16

I am trying to overclock my i5-2500k using the BIOS in my Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 motherboard, and I have found a guide online. But I cannot change any of the required settings, such as CPU clock ratio and many others. The options are "greyed out" and I cannot hover over them to change their values. I've been searching online for a while now and no one seems to have the same problem as me. Can anyone help?

If you have installed the UEFI BIOS I believe you will have to downgrade back to the legacy Award BIOS to get sandybridge CPU overclocking back.

I am still using the legacy BIOS. I was actually contemplating getting the beta UEFI bios to see if that sorted it, but I decided not to.
