I have a Gigabyte Aorus B450 Elite motherboard that was initially using Bios F41. After flashing to the latest version, Bios F51, I’m unable to adjust frequency, timings, or voltage. All settings under the M.I.T. tab are locked in “Auto” mode and grayed out. The Periferals tab allows editing of AMD CBS Settings, but none seem recognizable. Could this be because my motherboard isn’t supporting DDR4 2133 RAM at 933.3 MHz in auto? It seems like a standard speed that shouldn’t need overclocking, yet the issue persists. Am I missing something or did the update restrict me from overclocking?

Remember when the third gen Ryzen CPUs first came out? Wasn't there an article about the BIOS chip sizes being too small and that in order to add the 3rd Gen Ryzen support, the 1st Gen Ryzen would need to be dropped?
I suspect (but only Gigabyte could confirm this) that something like this might have happened and that the update to F51 required that some other functionality needed to be removed.
Either that or the update was flawed in some way and you just need to flash back to F41.

The process of updating the BIOS was handled in a specific sequence, not all at once. I followed the steps from F41 through F50 as instructed.

This was the sole idea that came to mind. Restore the BIOS update and proceed with the upgrade again.

I checked online for the correct procedure and even reached out to my local Microcenter’s tech support before I flashed the bios. They advised me not to flash every update, just as long as I moved from F41 directly to F51 would work.

Gigabyte support would be the ideal contacts. They can address your queries effectively. There might be a BIOS setting in F51 that differs from F41 that needs enabling.

It brings back memories of those early BIOS versions from around 2005, where you needed to press the F11 key to enable overclocking. So, try loading a previous BIOS, but note that some sites like Gigabyte occasionally restrict flashing older versions.

The BIOS downloads page outlines any necessary conditions for each BIOS update listed in the "Description" section.
