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.
