BIOS for MSI laptop doesn't seem to have overclock option
I can't figure out how to overclock my MSI laptop CPU because the UI for my BIOS is different from what I see in any youtube video, and I can't find any overclocking options in my BIOS.

What everyone else's BIOS looks like[imgur.com]

How do I get the specialized BIOS UI with the added options?

Note: I don't care whatsoever about overclocking my GPU

That's a different motherboard? GT72 6QD is your model number. The other one is 970 gaming motherboard.

You should never attempt to overclock a laptop anyway.

Indeed, as Linus said, and OMG... it's Linus :P

So you're telling me I bought a gaming laptop without a gaming motherboard? I just want to do a very mild overclock so Dolphin will run better, something like 300-600 MHz above turbo settings.

'and OMG... it's Linus :P'

Actually it isn't, I'm just a fan of the channel. If I was trying to imitate him I would be called 'Linus Sebastian' but as you can see I'm not hence 'FTW'.

Ahhh, cool... A fan here too.

It has to be possible, if you google "gt72 6qd overclock" then this comes up.

Unfortunately he doesn't seem to share how he achieved the overclock...

Just don't bother, and besides that, that motherboard won't allow it as there is no options for it, so I assume it's like that for a reason?

You can OC your GPU via MSI Afterburner; that's about it.
Even Gaming Laptops usually lack OC options in BIOS. Not sure why you expected otherwise.
Still, OC'ing any Laptop is just not a good idea, even if you could. They all lack cooling, usually is just enough to keep it the hardware from overheating, at stock settings, so pushing it any further really is not a good idea.
