Whenever I try to use the OC options in bios I am prompted "Your system does't support this feature (for overclocking platform only)." 
 
I am using a i7-7740X which I thought was unlocked, I am not sure if it is referencing something else?

    Welcome to the EVGA Forums

    I am not sure what your question is
     
    Are you following the Manual for BIOS setup ?

    When I load into Bios, I get 4 options, 1. Advanced Configurations - Enter Setup 2. Default Mode-  Run with Default Settings 3. Set up conservative Overclock - Gamer Mode 4. EVGA OC Robot - Auto Overclock your PC. If I select options 3 or 4 I get prompted "Your system does't support this feature (for overclocking platform only)"

    Trying to figure out why I can not access these options and why I am being prompted I don't have a overclocking platform.

    Does this also occur on older bios versions?

    Cpu Multiplier is set to Auto, unsure if it happened on older bios, I updated to the latest before looking at any of the Overclock options.

    Just a quick update, this issue has been brought to our attention and our motherboard team will look into this. The thread will be updated once one is available.

    Intel® Core™ i5-7640X X-series Processor
    Processor Base Frequency  4.00 GHz
    Max Turbo Frequency  4.20 GHz
    What are you trying to Overclock to?
    This is a very low end Processor with only 4 Cores and No HT.
    What are you using to Cool the CPU?
    If you set to 42 and keep the vCore at Auto will the CPU run at 4200MHz?
    What Memory Make and Model Number do you have and are you running the XMP1 Profile?

    Had 4.5 GHz run very stable on 1.11, so now wanted to try the new OCrobot function so upgraded to 1.18

    4500MHz is a great OC for your CPU.

    I could even go higher with 1.11 bios but backed a little down to 4.5GHz, so expected that with bios 1.18 it would clock higher

    I would estimate that the Kaby Lake Processor is not supported with OC Robot.
    You can open a Service Ticket asking or contact EVGA Support and ask of OC Robot Supports Contact Customer Service your CPU.
    Testing on mine I did not see or have any problems on my Skylake Processor.
    I am going back to 1.13 as it seems rock solid for my Skylake Processor and do not use OC Robot to Overclock my CPU.
    I do not care for how High it sets my AVX2 and AVX3 Settings.

    Kabylake-X is not supported by OC Robot on the X299 platform. I'll follow up with our product management team and check if there is a specific reason that is preventing OC robot from supporting that line of CPU's.
