No brand x58 motherboard

Hello guys

I bought this motherboard from China and I've been trying to unlock it to be able to overclock without succes. Hope anyone can help since I have no experience in BIOS modding.

Thank you

I checked BIOS, and only see C1E support and CPU TM Function hidden from you, don't see any Bclk or CPU ratio settings to unlock, so maybe nothing you can do without finding similar board/BIOS that has these options (hidden or visible). Wait a sec, I see Ratio CMOS setting at Advanced >> CPU Config, it's set to supervisor, did you already try setting that to User with AMIBCP 3.51?

I have just tried it, but it doesn't change anything. The Ratio CMOS Setting was already editable in the BIOS. I can change it from 12 to 23. 23 is the default multiplier so I can't go higher than the default.

That is normal, you can't go higher than default unless you have unlocked CPU (extreme). This is locked by Intel, unless you get CPU like 965, 975, 980X, 990X, W3680/W3690 etc.
