Gigabyte z107x OC choices are unavailable for 6700k.
Hey everyone,
I’m trying to understand why my bios settings are all grayed out when I attempt to overclock my 6700k. The only adjustments I can make manually are Performance upgrade, CPU upgrade, and Turbo. I can turn Turbo on, which provides a small improvement, but other overclock options remain locked away. The only changes I’ve made in the bios were disabling Cstates, which eliminated sudden crashes I was experiencing.
I’ve been thinking hard all day, and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here’s what my setup looks like:
Intel i7 6700k @ 4.0ghz
Gigabyte Z107x Gaming 7
Nvidia GTX 980 ti
G.Skill Ripjaws 2x8 TridentZ DDR4 3200
Samsung SSD 850 Evo 500GB
Rosewill 1000w Bronze series PSU
OS: Windows 10 home
Hey guys, I figured it out and it was really simple. I had to adjust the values by using the plus or minus buttons on my keyboard. The main plus or minus didn't work. If anyone else is facing the same issue, I recommend trying that method. Thanks for taking the time to help me!

Try Updating your bios
Go to the official GIGABYTE website and look for the latest bios update for your motherboard.
Hey guys, I figured it out and it was really frustrating. I wasn't able to adjust the values unless I used the plus or minus buttons on my keyboard. For some reason, the main plus or minus didn't work. If anyone has a similar issue, I recommend trying that approach. Thanks for taking the time to help me!
