Msi motherboard bios overclocking problems?

[Klawi]

hi, i recently purchased an i5 4690k and an msi b85m-43g motherboard

after installing everything i went to overclock my brand new processor but i found that it wont let me

the selection just says auto, no brackets around it to change and i cant change it to anything else

i think its a problem with my motherboard rather than the cpu so if anyone can give any insight to my problems that would be fantastc
any help?

the B85 series of motherboards does not allow overclocking.

To overclock you should have purchased a Z97 board.

whats the OC genie thing then? it seems to boast overclocking abilities

OC genie probably lets you set XMP profiles on RAM but your chipset does not allow CPU overclocking

Maybe you mean G3258 with b85m-g43.

Only that cpu(G3258) can overclock on a few non-z97 motherboard.
If you want to overclocking I5 4690K ,you must choose z97 chips motherboard.

I have i5 4670k with MSI z97 gaming 5 ,very perfect combo.If you have 150$ budget,maybe you should get that board.
Tier One-Class B board ,nice quality ,good for overclocking ,nice heatsink and good value you should go.

Tier One-Class B: Enthusiast Level. Premium featured MoBos with SLI capability, M.2 and enough power to run any current CPUs with very high-extreme OCing capabilities. Just a step lower than Extreme Enthusiast boards, they’re no less than feature laden. Solid quality, shall serve you long.

Motherboard: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($146.98 @ OutletPC)
Total: $146.98
