Overclocking via BIOS
-
hello forum people, I'm a newbie to overclocking, I've looked at several guides and videos, and I don't see it clearly. My question is that I want to overclock but in my bios there are some screens that don't appear in the guides like for example pwm phase control, then in the voltages section it doesn't let me touch them manually, as if something was blocked or I don't know how to unlock it, I have a gigabyte z77 ds3h motherboard, with an intel core i5 3570 k processor, in the voltages section I've seen in bios spoilers that they have CPU core, gfx I don't know what else, there are like five or six sections, but only four appear to me and it doesn't let me manipulate them, someone would be so kind as to help me out. I appreciate it in advance, goodbye

Hello, is it a branded PC or has the motherboard come from a branded PC?, or is it assembled with parts bought in the store?

bought by parts at the store, thank you for responding

Have you already checked the motherboard manual? I hope so, if not you already know.
I haven't used that motherboard but to start you will probably have to select "something" in the manual, so that the options that are seen but can't be touched become modifiable.You may also have to update the bios firmware, to be safe put the bios version that the motherboard has.
While you're at it fill in the signature with your hardware.By the way if you want help from people who don't use that motherboard or a similar one you can put photos of the screens.
Regards.

In the Gigabyte, additional options are always activated by pressing Ctrl+F1 within the BIOS. The fact that you can't touch anything, somewhere there must be an option for automatic or manual and I imagine you have to set it to manual.

hare fotos de mi bios and I will upload them, goodbye
Here is a video and you must touch advanced setting to raise the multiplier, or CPU ratio here you see
it is the same motherboard and same CPU, what works for the one in the video should work for you, although your CPU may need more or less voltage.
You should not touch the PWM phase control, leave it on auto that is more for extreme OC with LN2, raising or relaxing the phases, in reality there are few things to touch beyond vcore, multiplier VCCIO, depending on the motherboard, for OC 24/7 many options are not touched.goodbye
