Hello and Welcome!

First off your questions will generally be answered faster and appreciated by fellow members/seniors/mods if you post in the correct category (AMD motherboards -> Other AMD MBs).

Having said that, most modern bios will allow you to make cpu voltage adjustments if you go into the section on cpu frequency & voltage controls.

Are you having problems getting into the bios?

Have you checked with Chaintech to make sure that your processor is supported by the MB?

Good luck!

Is your current bios the latest bios version for your MB?

Hmmm, maybe the latest bios has been limited to prevent OC'ing

Can you try going back to a previous version that still supports your processor? Couldn't hurt to try.
