Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P BIOS Voltage Multipliers Locked

[Nate Smith]

I have a gigabyte motherboard that should be capable of overclocking. Specifically a GA-970A-UD3P. I updated to the latest version, but I can not get it to let me adjust any of the voltages or ratios. I have an unlocked FX-8320 Black Edition. I have enabled the unlocked mode in the BIOS.

What more can I do?

Have you changed it out of auto mode on your motherboard?

 

[Nate Smith]

There is an option to enable unlocked mode. Is that what you're referring to?

 

[t3naci0ust]

Then i would enable that. It is probably what is greying out the voltage increase

Got the latest bios?

Post your complete and detailed build list.

Have a look though - http://rog.asus.com/216552013/crosshair-motherboards/guide-overclocking-fx-8350-to-4-8ghz-on-crosshair-v-formula-z/

He is using a gigabyte board. why would you post a crosshair formula z mother board overclocking guide?

 

[i7Baby]

Its basically the same methodology for any amd mobo. Its a good checklist. You got a guide for his specific mobo? Then post the link!

If you read the post you would see that I have updated to the latest version.

The options for voltage and ratios are still showing auto even though I have enabled unlocked mode.

You said "I updated to the latest version". I thought you meant the mobo, not the bios.

Go through the guide and see if you can find anything you missed.

Yep - that should help. Good one!

Okay, I'm going to be completely upfront. I was trying to use the enter key to open a menu to change the settings. Using + and - worked. I'm an overclocking/BIOS noob. Hopefully someone else will see this and it will save them the time and trouble that I wasted.
