The MSI Click BIOS 5 prevents me from overclocking my CPU.
The MSI Click BIOS 5 prevents me from overclocking my CPU.
I have a B350 Tomahawk with a Ryzen 7 1700x and 2x8 3200 DDR4 RAM. I recently purchased this motherboard for a low cost and wanted to explore its performance. However, when I accessed the BIOS, I noticed I could only overclock the RAM, not the CPU as shown in the picture (I also found a Discord link because I’m too lazy to upload an image). Any advice on what to do?

Any advice on how to proceed?
EDIT: In the photo I took, it seems the RAM was set to 3200 but reported as clocked at 2400. This happened because I didn’t reboot after making those changes.
Suggest updating the BIOS to version 1H for a Gen 1 processor. It’s interesting that version 1B isn’t accessible online...

It’s telling that version 1B isn’t even listed on the webpage, hinting that something might be misleading about it being available.

Could you have any advice on how to proceed?

Thanks! I’m not very experienced with BIOS settings, so I assumed it was already updated.

I think updating the BIOS to version 1H for a Gen 1 processor would be a good idea. It’s worth noting that version 1B isn’t listed on the website, which might indicate some misleading information was involved. Thanks! Since I’m not very experienced with BIOS settings, I assumed it was pre-updated.
It seems like a reasonable guess that version 1B is the first BIOS released for Ryzen 2000 support, which is essential for booting that CPU. However, I recall the early versions had issues with the AGESA package, so this could explain why your system is behaving unpredictably and why it was removed.
So yes, it was pre-updated. Later releases have fixed many of those problems. I recommend going with 1H, as you have a 1700X processor and the AGESA seems to offer better support for first-generation chips.
