Can't push the Ryzen 1800X to higher speeds using the MSI B350 Tomahawk board
I recently assembled a system using a Ryzen 7 1800X and an MSI B350 Tomahawk motherboard. The setup worked well for a month before I decided to overclock. I searched for guidance but found that adjusting the CPU ratio in the BIOS was disabled, making it difficult to proceed. I checked various forums and couldn't locate anyone with the same problem. Do you know someone who has encountered this issue before?
I recently set up a system with a Ryzen 7 1800X and an MSI B350 Tomahawk motherboard. It ran smoothly for about a month before I decided to overclock. I searched for instructions but found the BIOS settings grayed out, blocking any changes. I couldn't locate anyone else experiencing the same problem. Has anyone encountered this issue before and had a solution?
I own a B350 Mortar (similar to a Tomahawk in MATX form) and haven't faced this problem before.
Have you installed MSI's overclocking or hardware monitor tools? I would remove all of MSI's utilities since they're unreliable, and better alternatives are available elsewhere.

I own a B350 Mortar, which is essentially a Tomahawk in an MATX case. I haven’t encountered this problem before.

Did you attempt using RyzenMaster to overclock? It usually performs well, even surpassing the BIOS in stability, though it requires loading the OC profile each time Windows restarts.
Have you considered a CMOS reset? That might help, and I also tried a battery-pull reset just to be sure.
