Hey there, I'm still trying to figure this out, even though I've done overclocking with several BIOS versions. In this situation, I managed to adjust the settings by modifying each "Core Ratio Limit" in the "Advanced" section under "CPU Power Management Configuration." (Check the photo: OC-1)

I also noticed that when I used this method, my voltage adjusted automatically without changing any other values besides the Core Ratio Limit.

I'm sharing this because I've struggled to find enough information about this AMIBIOS version. Most sources mention a "Jumper Free Configuration" with voltage control and a single ratio for CPU overclocking, but I want to make sure I'm not risking my CPU's health.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this!
AMIBIOS Version 2.17.1246
Intel Core i7-4930k
16GB DDR3
2TB HDD
RX 5700XT
750W Vampire PSU
Phanteks Enthroo Chassis
Extra photos of my BIOS for reference:

Welcome to the forums, newcomer! When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's important to provide your complete system details. Please format them as follows: CPU: Motherboard: RAM: SSD/HDD: GPU: PSU: Chassis: Have you checked these threads? https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthre...ve...dy-Edition Need assistance with overclocking an i7 4930K from its default speed of 3.4Ghz to around 4.2–4.5Ghz? I'm looking for a safe overclock so I can maintain system stability for another five years. I've seen suggestions in other discussions that might help. forums.

Thanks for the update! I understand the need to stick to just the CPU and BIOS details. I'll make sure to revise now. The thread you shared has been really helpful, so I'll continue experimenting with the BIOS to learn more on my own using this information.
