No way to speed up the 4670K on a Z87-G43 board from MSI
No way to speed up the 4670K on a Z87-G43 board from MSI
I bought a 4670K and a Z87 board on Facebook Marketplace at a low price, and it functions well—just not in the way I expected. After updating the latest BIOS, the processor still doesn’t allow manual overclocking. The OC Genie lets me try 4.0GHz, but I can’t switch from Auto to Manual mode directly. Is there a workaround or a BIOS setting I should adjust?
Settings for the PC appear hidden rather than simply missing. Install CPU-Z to verify it correctly identifies the 4690K and checks for overclocking availability. Download Intel XTU and confirm it lacks overclocking features.
Alright, I figured it out. The issue is with the counterintuitive setup: you adjust the ratio and use shift-plus to increase or minus to decrease without clicking or pressing enter. It’s a slider-based system instead of a direct selection method.
