CPU ratio fixed to Auto (please assist :))
CPU ratio fixed to Auto (please assist :))
Hi,
I've done some CPU overclocking on older boards before and had no issues. Now I want to push this new CPU further. But unfortunately, I can't adjust the CPU ratio beyond Auto mode. Here are my details:
Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V LX (LGA1155)
CPU: i5-3570K @ 3.4GHz / 3.8GHz Turbo
RAM: 2x (2GB) Corsair CMV9GX (1333MHz)
2x (4GB) Corsair CMV4GX (1600MHz)
GPU: GTX 660 Ti ASUS (2GB) OC
I'm not sure how to make the changes manually.
Can anyone assist?
From the manual.
CPU Power Management offers options for configuring the CPU ratio and features.
The CPU Ratio [Auto] lets you manually set the maximum non-turbo CPU ratio. Use <+> and <-> keys to modify the value. Acceptable ranges depend on your specific CPU model.
I’m unable to determine the exact location of your image, as it appears too small to read.
Below that section should be the area for turning Turbo on and off.
When Turbo is active, it seems locked in Auto mode, allowing you to adjust only the Turbo multiplier. Disabling it, according to my understanding, unlocks the CPU ratio setting.
From the manual, the sub-items provide options for configuring the CPU ratio and related features. Adjusting the maximum non-turbo CPU ratio is possible using the + and - keys. The acceptable values depend on your specific CPU model. It's difficult to determine the exact location of your image due to its small size. Near this area, you'll find instructions to enable or disable Turbo mode. When Turbo is active, it appears locked in Auto mode, allowing you to modify only the Turbo multiplier. Disabling it should restore access to the CPU ratio settings.
I've been searching online for solutions. I've noticed some users facing problems with that board and other P8Z77 boards, where the multiplier is either restricted or changes don't make a difference.
Your BIOS is showing 1.352v while the Hardware Monitor reports a much higher value. It's not uncommon for these readings to differ, so don't worry.
