Overclocking issues with Z77a-G45 and Intel I5 3570k.
Overclocking issues with Z77a-G45 and Intel I5 3570k.
Hello everyone!
I’m facing an issue with overclocking the i5 3570K processor on my MSI Z77A-G45 motherboard. About seven years ago, I increased it to 4.2 and it has functioned well so far. But recently, after replacing the disks and reinstalling the OS, I had to reset the BIOS and now have to go through the overclocking process again. For a short period, I encountered difficulties. I checked forums, watched YouTube tutorials, but no solution was found. The issue seems to be that even though I change the processor clock in the BIOS, once I enter the system—whether using CPU-Z, OCCT, or other tools—the core clock remains at 3.4. I can set it to 4.5 in the BIOS, but when I open Windows and check the system info, it still shows 3.4. It’s the same for all timing settings, whether they’re set to 3.6, 4.0, or 4.2.
I have an updated BIOS from MSI, released on September 29, 2013.
Do you think I’m missing something? The other parameters (core voltage, RAM timing) seem fine.
I’ve attached screenshots to illustrate the problem and my BIOS images:

I believe you all have experience with similar situations. Perhaps you can assist me. Thanks in advance!

my bios? it includes the latest intel, ME and Microcodes, and now supports NVMe as boot. use "Update Bios + ME" on M-Flash. i did this for my friend too, and some issues disappeared compared to stock bios. you should give it a shot
