The ASUS P8P67 Rev 3.0 i5 2500K lacks a turbo ratio setting in the BIOS—would you like guidance on updating it?
Hello all and kindly thank you for stumbling upon this thread. So here's how it goes. I installed two days ago a new HDD, installed Windows 7 on it, everything went well until I checked the BIOS and Turbo Ratio (to enable me to get higher multiplier) is missing! Before I installed the new HDD and Windows I've reset all my settings to default. I have an 2500K so I can OC it and before on my old HDD had no problems like this, it's weird how it all the sudden decided not to work. I know, it's an old problem, but after trying various fixes found in other threads on this forum I still was unable to fix it. I've put the latest BIOS, downgraded, reset CMOS, pulled the battery out all night and it still won't work. Tried this link as well, but cannot find FTK anywhere. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=10...1039296628 Tried this link, still doesn't show up https://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?boa...uage=en-us It seems I have to reflash the ME and cannot do that just by upgrading the BIOS, the problem is I don't know how to use Intel FPT or flashrom to do so. Can anyone help or have a suggestion? Thank you for your time,
Here you are, just looking at the posts I created for that search: Hope it helps.
Hey, you really helped out here. My P8P67 (Rev 3.0) board, which had been performing well for six years, started behaving oddly yesterday. It seemed to hide the 'turbo multiplier' and a few other settings while I was tweaking the BIOS. Not just that, it stopped overclocking my i5 2500k, which usually ran smoothly at 4.6GhZ nonstop. When I tried to load earlier saved BIOS files, they would either fail to start or required pressing the MEM_OK button on the motherboard while the LED stayed red, or using a jumper to reset CMOS. Even after several attempts to 'reset' everything, my saved profiles still didn’t appear. It looks like the problem was in that persistent data section.
Using FTK and FD44Editor worked perfectly. The software I downloaded is from these links:
- https://github.com/LongSoft/FTK/releases/tag/0.12.0 (the version that worked on my system)
- https://github.com/LongSoft/FD44Editor/releases
The steps they provided were clear, though FD44Editor had a quirk—it only saved modified bios over an existing file if it was in the same folder as the editor itself. I had to place a temporary file there and overwrite it, then rename it to BIOS.bin to finish. This glitch might have been tied to my specific PC or Windows 10 settings. It’s a strange bug, but I think I’ve fixed it now.
I just wanted to share this, five years ago you helped me! I've been having problems with BIOS settings on my P8P67 pro using an I7 2600k for the last five months (yes, I realize I'm running an older configuration now...). Mobo only displayed half of the RAM, but I still saw everything in the SPD info. The turbo ratio option didn't work, and setting the XMP profile failed. I tried reseating the RAM, CPU, and swapping out RAM slots—every stick worked individually, and all slots functioned properly. Still couldn't solve it! But this thread really saved my day! It worked perfectly!
Just wanted to mention that you'll need to visit this page to download the ME system tools (V8 helped me with my P8P67 pro). Copy the FPT, MEInfo, and FwUpdLcl utilities into the root folder of your USB stick. It took a few minutes after I encountered the "Command not found - 'FPT'" error when running the backup command. This is clearly mentioned in the GitHub read me of the FTK page.
