Hey, I'm trying to set up an OC on my i7 9700K. My board is a GIGABYTE Z370M DS3H, but when I try to change the loadline calibration setting, it just turns gray and says it's not available or something else. I can't even touch or adjust it. Any help? 🙁

Also change vcore to fixed and type in 1.26v, then go to the LLC setting and use the plus or minus or pageup and pagedown keys... Also try this Capital A or Capital T https://forums.

Did I need to update my BIOS settings now, or was it already new enough?

Then something is wrong. Did you get that CPU from somewhere? A Z board should work in BIOS without any special help. But a K CPU makes things easier to find settings. I've only seen this happen when it wasn't actually a K CPU, but was some fake standard one with a changed ID and a fake battery info file. Maybe it was just a test sample that missed some features because they wanted to see how the system works without them all turned on.

I bought this CPU from a place here at home, but it came in the original box. I don't even know why it's acting weird or what to fix it with 🙁 Do you have any more tips for me?

I'd never push that chip too hard.

You can see your LLC options on the Voltage screen. When you choose a loadline like VCore or select one of these modes, just press page up or page down to move through Auto, Low, Med, High, Turbo and so on.

It's hard because I can't find it, and it looks gray while you also can't choose from the options.

Hmmm... that is weird... Let me check things and come back to you soon. One thing, can you turn on MCE? Then do a Cinebench R20 test. Please tell me the score and tell me what the highest boost was while the temperatures were at their maximum. Also use Hardware Info to keep an eye on everything.
