Overclocking i5-7600K - EasyTune options unclickable (greyed out)

[Nooksva]

Just installed easy tune and can't click any of the smart quick boost or advanced CPU OC options in the panels. Any ideas?

are you able to list your PC specs?

its possible you don't have the right motherboard for overclocking that CPU

from your specs you do have the right motherboard to overclock. did you check your BIOS to see if you are able to overclock within there?

I did, all my settings for voltage and frequency are on auto. I can’t change my core frequency ratio or the voltage.

if you can't access the settings in the BIOS then it sounds like you don't have the K version of that CPU. it would be best to run a program like CPU-Z and verify what CPU you have.

also, is the a brand name PC like a HP or Dell?

Haha I’m absolutely sure it is. I figured out my issue was simply using the number keys instead of enter lol.

However, this didn’t fix my issue with easytune. I was able to over lock using my mobo.
