[SOLVED] Can't access CPU Ratio in MSI motherboard

[rdross80]

First time overclocker here. I just put together a new build that consists of a Ryzen 7 2700 and B450I Gaming Plus AC. I'm still learning the ins and outs of overclocking, but I've already hit an roadblock. I went into the bios (flashed to the newest version), and when I go into the overclocking sectio there's an option to change the CPU Ratio from Auto to Manual, but if I click on it, nothing happens. It's not greyed out like other settings that aren't accessible, and the same with the base clock, I can't change to manual. I'm trying to rack my brain on what is causing this, and I've searched everywhere for an answer. Any ideas?

Since I flashed to the newest bios, the interface has changed. Now you can't change the ratio without changing it from auto first, and that guide doesn't look to help with that.

Do you have the expert mode enabled? If not, do so.
