    Is there a reason why i can't change the bus frequency with the overclocking feature enabled?

    if this is an existing thread, please close it. Thanks,
    Otherwise - any thoughts?

    try not going into the bios after you set permanently and just boot it so raise f10 and run cpuz it will read about .03 lower than you set it

    The M11x-R2 has an issue where the bios overclock setting is sometimes randomly reset to the default MHz. After you boot up, your overclock is gone.

    This is a common motherboard fail safe feature so if your bios overclock keeps getting reset, the M14x might also have this issue.

    Can someone help me?

    My bus Freq is grayed out in the BIOS. It only lets me change the Hz.

    Am I missing something? I followed the vid here and I can't get the Bus to allow me to change it.
