Hello! I'm using an I5 2500k and wanted to overclock, but in BIOS the maximum multiplier is 37. I turned off Intel Turbo boost and updated the BIOS to the latest version. The motherboard is a gigabyte pa65-ud3-b3 (rev. 1.0). I think the issue might be related to the motherboard itself. I'm looking for suggestions or ideas to try.
