i5-2500K locked multiplier

[MevolutionX]

My sabertooth p67 cannot go beyond 33x multiplier. Whats happening? I'm on the latest bios & I've tried resetting the CMOS. It is stuck on 16-33 multiplier. The night before I can still go up to 59x.

Did you disable the "Overspeed protection" option (or something along those lines, forgot the exact name)?

No such thing leh.

I google alr also, no solution.

kiv,
I can no longer adjust CPU ratio. - Overclockers Forums

always save your profile settings, to eliminate any issues.

Thanks! I will try reseat the CPU later if not I will reflash the bios

Haha spyboy it's not that I don't want to save, it's because my OC is not even stable yet no point saving an unstable setup. I get your point though

understand your situation, normally while tuning an OC settings, I save it and goes from there to fine tune further...like profile1 and save to profile2.
If not all settings lost and is more tiring to start again...save one setting to Thumbdrive/Window as well. Cheers

Try reflashing your bios and replace the CMOS battery. Happened once to mine after RMA-ing.

I'm already on the latest bios leh, can reflash the same one?

Thanks for the heads up spyboy! cheers!

May be corrupted CMOS settings, perhaps try a CMOS clearance by removing CMOS battery for
- 15 mins
- overnight

If all that still fails, reflash the BIOS to force a full settings clearance.

Took out the entire MB & reassemble it
Took out the thermal armor & removed the CMOS battery for like half & hour
Reflash the same latest bios via Ai Suite
Reflash an older version of bios via Ai Suite

Results after trying all those above... A 16-33x multiplier T_T

Test on another mobo? I have a Asus p8p67, perhaps I can help to test?

the linked threads, they reflashed to fix the problem, but not via ai suite method.
