    You should already be able to undervolt. Keep an eye out for updates.

    OC & voltage settings should be in the Advanced > Advanced chipset control section of the BIOS, IIRC - or you can use software.

    9th gen CPUs should be supported, but only under the latest BIOS revision. Contact the original seller for that, if you need it.

    in stock bios i only see voltage mode and voltage ofset options.
    would like to have both cpu core and cpu cache voltage control like in throttlestop. Is possible still only with prema bios? cant find any bios update on prostar site under driver downloads?

    I see other drivers that have been updated since stock, should i be ok updating them with windows 7 64bit?

    thanks

    Stock BIOS is limited. To open up more control, yes, you'd need a modded BIOS.

    If you purchased from us, you can contact us through our site for the BIOS update. :vbsmile:

    I don't know where you're seeing updated Win 7 drivers. We only have Win 10 drivers listed for the P775TM1. If the updates are from their respective vendors (i.e. Intel, NVidia, Killer, etc.), then those should be fine.
