My CPU Ratio option is not appearing in my BIOS

[joshuathomasbell]

Hi there ive just bought the Ryzen 5 2400G paired with the MSI B350M Mortar Motherboard and i want the OC but the problem is the CPU ratio option just isnt there... at all its as if the board doesnt support OC but its a B350, could someone please help me out. My bios Version is E7A37ANS.1A0.

Im pretty new to the OC would so i dont know if ive just forgotten to enable something that would grant me access to the Ratio, i am in Advanced mode in the BIOS. I am also able to OC my ram its just the CPU Ratio that doesnt appear.

What settings appear when you enter "Overclocking Settings OC"? Use the screenshot option in BIOS to post some pics. I used to have that board in arctic white, but can't remember what the BIOS looked like after that.

Sorry for the Awful picture, its really late here and i couldnt find a USB for the screenshot xD

Good enough. First take 'OC Explore Mode' out of normal mode. Then you should have that option available. If not, post another screenshot of the OC mode options there are.

i marked the only 2 new options that appear in the bios.
I did see though on the MSI site that there is a more up to date BIOS do you think the BIOS version could be the reason why the option isnt there?

No, a later BIOS isn't the issue. Although it is something I always try to do; keep my BIOS up to date.
What options are in Core Performance Boost? Downcore Control?

For the core performance boost it only has:
Enable
Auto


And for the downcore count:
One
Two
Three

That's it nothing else sadly

Have you ever seen this problem before?

Also it doesn't allow me to enable game boost i dunno if that helps you at All :'D

I notice in your pic above, that the side scroll bar is down a bit. Is there anything above if you scroll it up?

It's only the OC Explorer Mode that appears if I scroll all the way up

Ayyy I updated my BIOS and everything seems to have been sorted out. Thanks for all the help

That's really weird. But I'm glad it all worked out.
As I noted above, I had that board in the Arctic white style and it had the original BIOS version. I had no issue increasing the multi. Your BIOS was way later than mine was. I'd be curious to see a screenshot again of the new BIOS and what changed to allow you that option.

WAIT! Stupid me. You have the new 2nd gen Ryzen CPU. Duh! That was why it didn't recognize it for OC'ing. AMD never had that issue with their previous K10 (Phenom, Athlon, FX) CPUs. This is something new with the Ryzen architecture. Good to know.
