I have a B85M-DS3H-A gigabyte motherboard and an i5 4670K. I'm unable to set the vcore of the CPU higher than 1.2. Upon entering a value such as 1.25 and pressing enter the setting changes to auto. What could be the reason for this limitation?

I've heard of people going over this voltage with the same CPU. For example, in this post, some guy sets it to 1.247: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/help-overclock-i5-4670k-to-4-3ghz.200365/
 


He is not using an A85 chipset motherboard.like you are
