I use the the latest available BIOS for my motherboard, called F20, which also supports 7th gen intel cpus. It should have full overclocking support, yet when i go into Advanced Frequency Settings(3rd image)>Advanced CPU Core Settings(1st image) no option regarding frequency or voltage can be adjusted. The only way I can OC is by using the "CPU upgrade"(4th image in the album) menu found under Advanced Frequency Settings, but this only allows to select from a handful of premade templates and offers no control over voltage.
So what can i do to unlock the proper overclocking features? As a side note i used to use a 6600k with a much older bios (F5) which allowed full overclocking support on that chip, later when i "upgraded" to a newer BIOS this issue surfaced.
UPDATE The BIOS version ia F22g, not F20.
