I'm trying to OC in bios but the OC stuff are greyed out so i can't adjust the OC stuff.

only motherboard with z87 chipset can do overclock.

you could try an older bios, but there always a chance of bricked motherboard on bad bios update.

So, I can't OC then?

You cannot OC with any B/H series motherboards, the Z87 boards are specifically made for overclocking, which is why the build quality is higher (to withstand the overclocking), and the price is also higher.

unless you upgrade to a z87, no

or try downgrade the bios version on your motherboard

rgd1101 :

I wouldn't try this as the mobo is not made for overclocking
