So I've been trying to OC my intel i5 4690k on my MSI H81M-P33 motherboard, and from the problems I'm having (the screen will go black, but the PC's still on) I understand I need to up my voltage.

Problem is, when I go into the bios, there is no option to do so. I've read guides on how to do it (all of which had pictures that showed the voltage WAS changeable), there just isn't a setting there for me to change it. I have the newest bios version (version 1.9). I did notice that most of the guides had version 1.7 of the bios, so could it be that MSI got rid of the settings to change the voltage in this newest version, or is there something else I need to turn on/off for those settings to be accessible?

And yes, I am aware that getting a new motherboard would help, but that isn't an option. Workin' with what I got here.

You need a Z87/Z97 board to overclock K series CPU's. That's your issue.
