Hello, @rudeboi 

May I ask if the CPU's inability to overclock beyond 4.99 GHz happened after any changes were made? For example, updating the BIOS or installing a new CPU
Is your current BIOS version the latest release, 2801, issued on December 1, 2023?
Have you attempted to successfully overclock after clearing CMOS and reconfiguring the settings?
Could you please provide more detailed hardware specifications and images of the BIOS settings to help us better understand your situation?

Additionally, we have a dedicated "OVERCLOCKING & TWEAKING" forum. If you wish, I can assist in moving this discussion to that section. 

Thank you.
