I would use f9 bios if you aren't already

heres a guide for 4.5ghz/4.6ghz and 4.8ghz with that board and memory

you might need to set 1.10v cpu/vtt for 16gb of Samsung memory though

keep temps below 80c if you can,80-85c is ok if your happy with that

and keep cpu vcore voltage below 1.4v when stressed

use cpu-z to monitor cpu load voltages and realtemp to monitor core temps

Ok im following what he says but when I go in to the 3d bios it wont let me change anything

try 2d bios? if it wont let you adjust or save anything then reflash the same bios and start over again
