Hello,

When I go into bios I changed the core voltage, but I can't go pass 1.359v. It will turn red when it goes to 1.36v, and will not let me save the setting. Help please

That's a "safe" limit that you can probably override from a jumper, DIP switch, or another BIOS setting. That being said, I recommend a max core voltage of 1.3V for .22nm Intel chips and 1.4V for .14nm Intel chips, so you're very close to the safe limit of your CPU already. Now that you know that, if you're still determined to raise the voltage, please tell us what motherboard you have so we can find out exactly how to do that.

I have a MSI Z170A PC MATE motherboard. I will be upgrading my Hyper 212 EVO to an AIO, so temperatures will not be a problem here.

Just checked my BIOS, nothing says CPU overvoltage protection, and I tried finding it on google and found nothing.
