Can't overclock GA-Z77X-DH3 + 3570K

[daschneider]

I have a new system that consists of:

- Gigabyte GA-Z77X-DH3 R1.0 motherboard, F15 BIOS
- i5 3570K processor
- 2x8GByte G.Skill RAM @ 1600MHz
- OCZ Vertex 4 256 GByte SSD
- CoolerMaster Extreme Power Plus 500W power supply

For some reason I can't change the CPU clock ratio from the BIOS, nothing happens when I highlight the value and press the enter key to modify it. The same for trying to change the BCLK value. The values can be changed using the Gigabyte TweakLauncher so I know they can be changed.

Has anyone else seen this behavior from the motherboard? Better yet, does anyone know how I can change these values?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Never mind, I'm a complete no0b. You have to use the +/- keys to change the value instead of typing in a new value. Sorry for wasting everyone's bandwidth 🙁

haha glad you got it resolved. Let us know how the OC goes 😀

What cooler are you using?

I believe you can just type in the number you want as well instead of using + -

Let me know how you do with this. I have a similiar setup as you except different memory and I'm currently at 4Ghz which I know isn't much yet. I'm hitting about 65C max temperature in Prime95 after about 3 hours. No stability issues yet and have been very happy so far with everything.
