X Xpwn Reputable May 23, 2015 2 0 4,510 May 23, 2015 #1 I just bought an I5-4690K and a MSI H97 Gaming 3 MOBO to overclock, but when I am in bios, core clock is locked, and I cannot change the multiplier, even though it is not a different color. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can use OCGenie to overclock, but I don't recommend bothering. You won't be happy with the results. Upvote 1 Downvote
