The system restricts the vcore setting to a maximum of 1.2 due to hardware or firmware constraints. When you attempt values above this limit, like 1.25, it defaults to auto because the settings cannot exceed the allowed range.

The B85 chipset isn't designed for high-end builds and lacks many of the capabilities found in the Z series.

The B85 chipset isn't designed for heavy overclocking and lacks many of the advanced features found in Z chipsets. I've seen discussions about adjusting the voltage with the same CPU, like this example: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threa...hz.200365/

The B85 chipset isn't designed for serious overclocking and lacks the advanced features and control found in Z chipsets. I've seen others adjusting the voltage with the same CPU, like this example: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threa...hz.200365/. But it doesn't use an A85 chipset board, which is what you're using.

Yes, he's utilizing a superior motherboard with that capability. The focus is entirely on the motherboard.
