Dear User,

Hi, I'm Draco and I will be assisting you today. The first thing I would advice you to do is to re-install Intel XTU Extreme Utility. If this fixes it, then your good to go. However, there is one more reason the core voltage and other options have been disabled.

The manufacturer of your core/gpu/pc has disabled the option to change anything. This might be so you don't mess up anything and corrupt or "brick" your system. Maybe contact Intel and see what they have to say about this.

 

[Axolyte]

you are right but 1 week ago i was able to change the voltages and now it just got disabled!!

Did you update the app or your Windows? Or any Intel components?

 

[Axolyte]

No, I did not update my windows.

Pls help

Actually i updated my Bios

That’s the problem. Newer BIOS’s are locking out manual voltage controls due to an Intel security fix. Your only hope is installing an older BIOS and then once installed resetting to defaults. This may or may not re-open the voltage controls.

ok
