Cannot adjust CPU ratio on z77 GD55

My computer shut down automatically because of  Drmos overheating few hours ago.
After that my max CPU ratio can only adjust to 37 and my ram speed can only   set at max 1333mhz
Other than that my computer seems absolutely normal.
What is the problem of my compuer, I will never forget to turn on my case fan when playing Skyrim for 10 hours .....:(
HEEEEELP~~~

  What exactly is meant by that? The system should always be properly cooled. Recommend to remove the PSU power cord, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS and reset and try again. What kind of CPU cooling solution are using? What kind of air flow does the case normally have running? What were the system OC settings when it all went bad?

  • P67A-GD55: "Adjust CPU Ratio" disables "CPU Phase Control"

    I'm using P67A-GD55 (BIOS ver.1.7) and i5-2500K.
    I changed "Adjust CPU Ratio" and I found "CPU Phase Control" was disabled automatically.
    1. Click "Green Power" and set "CPU Phase Control" to "APS Mode".
    2. Click "OC" and set "Adjust CPU Ratio" to "33"
    (It's a default value, but please click the number "33").
    3. Click "Green Power" and check "CPU Phase Control".
    It is changed to "Disabled".
    Please keep "CPU Phase Control = APS Mode".

    > MSI employees rarely come here and post even more rarely.
    Thanks for the info.
    I had another account and I reported a BIOS bug a few years ago.
    MSI fixed it soon.
    I remember that, so I bought the MSI mainboard.
    I hope this post would help other P67A-GD55 users and the MSI developers.
    Note for users:
    MSI will upload the latest BIOS to the Taiwanese site first.

  • Devastatingly embarrassed- How to adjust CPU Ratio in CBII

    Guys,
    Just purchased my first ClickBios II board  (I ALWAYS and ONLY buy MSI products) and Im running into my first unfun experience as a user.
    Ive been away from the game for about 2 years working in remote Alaska, however, I consider myself an advanced user so this is hard for me to ask.
    HOW the HECK do you adjust CPU ratio in Click Bios II?
    MSI z77IA-e53

    7970 ghz edition
    Bios is v10.2
    Im *GASP* operating off of OC GENIE right now, god someone help me.

    Read the Overclocking threads, they show screenshots and are very helpfull.

  • BIOS showing 2500K Locked & Cant adjust CPU ratio in Windows.. P67A-GD65

    Hello all..
    I am not having any stability issues at all with my setup.. It is running great and I love the P67A-GD65..
    However I am having an issue w/ CPU ratio adjustment..
    I am running the 1.6 BIOS release from the 1.4 the board shipped with.. The issues remained on both BIOS versions..
    I noticed in the CPU section the BIOS is seeing my 2500K as "LOCKED".. I can however adjust the CPU ratio manually in the OC section of the BIOS to achieve the overclock I want..
    I enabled the "adjust cpu ratio from OS" option.. However the Control Center II software will not show me a dropdown to adjust the ratio in Windows 7 Pro 64bit.. So I have to make manual CPU ratio changes in the BIOS for now.. Control Center II does allow all other options to be changed.. Memory settings etc.. I just can't change the CPU ratio..
    I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Control Center app.. BIOS upgrade.. CMOS clear.. etc.. I suspect this is just a flaky BIOS issue..
    Anyone else experiencing this? This is a minor inconvenience.. I can get everything I need out of the board from the BIOS I would just really like to use Control Center II for everything if possible..
    Thanks!!

    The best I can advise is to delete Control Centre from your PC and attempt changes via the BIOS. IF that fails then MSI technical needs to be advised so that they can try and simulate your hardware combo. If it does work via the BIOS, then MSI technical should be advised irrespective about the Control Centre's inability to perform the functions it should.
    My own experience with Control Centre software has been anything but satisfactory. The best way is still to tweak via the BIOS.
    Just to confirm, you did do a CMOS reset/clear after the BIOS update? Power cord removed..... the normal procedure?
    Yeah I've been working in the BIOS.. Bummer the tool lets me change everything but the CPU ratio..
    I cleared CMOS w/ the same process you mentioned a few times prior to be sure.. 
    Just after I made the initial post I opened a tech support tkt so we shall see.. I still think it has something to so w/ the BIOS interpreting my CPU as locked but I could be wrong..
    Thanks for your assistance.. I appreciate it..

  • Command Center upgrade to 1.0.0.68 does not adjust CPU Ratio

    Hello,
    I had a previous version of Command Center. I believe it was 1.0.0.48. I was able to use it to adjust the CPU ratio OK.
    However, it kept asking that I upgrade to the latest. I finally did this and now the new version (1.0.0.68) will not adjust the CPU Ratio.
    I am using the Z87-GD65 Gaming board, with the 1150 socket, operating in Windows 8.1 64 bit.
    I  have the i5 4670k cpu.
    I would like to revert back to the original version, which I believe is Command Center 1.0.0.48, but I cannot find a link to it anywhere.
    Can you please provide a link to it?

    I mean that when I set the CPU ratio to say 39 and then I click APPLY, the CPU ratio stays at 34.
    Command Center will show it's at 39, but Real Temp still shows it at 34.
    When using the older version, I set the CPU ratio to 39, then click APPLY, the CPU ratio goes to 39.
    Real Temp will show it's at 39.
    Version 1.0.0.68 will not adjust the CPU ratio.
    Also, I can install Command Center from the DVD that comes with the MSI board. It is even older than 1.0.0.48 (right now, I cannot remember the version, but it is older). I am able to adjust the CPU ratio to 39, then click APPLY and the CPU ratio is now at 39.
    Real Temp will show it's at 39.
    Not the case with 1.0.0.68.
    Anyway, is there anyway I can get version 1.0.0.48?

  • MSI P6N SLI-FI cannot adjust cpu voltage

    Ok ive tried two different bioses (2.0 and 2.12) and in both I cannot adjust the cpu voltage. It reads 0.00000V and I cannot adjust it please help.

    Personally, I think people are jumping to conclusions about OCZ memory .  My (MSI SLI Platinum board) system runs perfectly stable with OCZ memory.  Saying that OCZ is a problem is too broad a statement - hell, OCZ sells 11 different models of DDR2-800.
    The memory in question in this case happens to be the Platinum version (actually, in this thread, the memory doesn't even seem to be the issue), which must have it's voltage oc'd to 2.1v when running at the stated 4-5-4-15 DDR2-800 speed.
    Anyway, cell_491, make sure that you've disabled:
    C1E (might be hidden on Advanced settings -> CPU Features page... use F4 to show it)
    D.O.T
    EIST
    ALL spread-spectrum settings
    ...note that these boards will reset to some defaults if you fail to POST a few times, so make sure the above are still disabled.  Also, keep in mind that while the memory 'settings' are or can be 'unlinked' from the FSB, it's still using a divider internally, so you might want to clock the memory down to 667 when you're trying to determine the FSB top-end.
    I've been running my E6400 at FSB 1333 (333 x 8 = 2.664 GHz) with my OCZ DDR2-667 ram oc'd to DDR2-800 4-5-5-12-24-2T 1.9v (unlinked 400mhz ram freq) perfectly stable for the past few weeks.  Last night I played around with oc'ing the CPU some more and managed to get up to around FSB 1480 (370 x 8 = 2.96 GHz) running stable by adding some voltage, but I'm still running the stock Intel heat-sink and the E6400 starts getting pretty hot at that speed, so I backed it back down to 1333 (2.6GHz) which I'm now running in linked mode with my memory at 4-4-4-12-20-1T at 1.9v (I haven't started tuning the timings yet).
    I need this board to make my living, so it has to be stable and I can't afford to fry anything, so until I upgrade the cooling, I don't plan to try for something over 3GHz, but if you've got good cooling, then this might help.  It's for the 680i chips so the BIOS options will be different, but the 650i uses the same NB as the 680i, so there's a lot of info that should be usefull (including some max recommended safe voltages).

  • Z77A-GD80 Beta bios 1.2B Cant Adjust CPU Ratio I7 3770K

    So I finally got my ram issue fixed (was bad module from Gskill).  Now the issue that I am having is that I cant adjust the CPU ratio so I can overclock my I7 3770K!  It is on auto and it will not let me use the + or - keys or manually input the ratio I want to use.  On the drop down menu all I have is auto.  Is this a bug with this bios?  What am I doing wrong if anything?

    Are you trying to change the multiplier from uefi/ bios or click bios II? Have you tried flashing back to 1.1?

  • How do you adjust CPU ratio?

    System Specs:
    Intel Core 2 Q6600 (G0)
    MSI X48 Platinum
    BIOS: v2.3 (07/07/2008)
    How do you adjust the CPU ratio in the Cell Menu? It is not greyed out, but I can't seem to change it to anything. It talks about Speed stepping technology needing to be disabled, but from what I can tell that is under the DOT Control stuff which I have disabled. Any ideas?

    Quote from: snits on 07-August-08, 05:48:43
    I just read in another thread that you need an extreme chip or an engineering sample to do this. Is this true?
    That is only if you want to apply higher MP than default one.

  • P67A-G43 Can't Adjust CPU Ratio or DRAM Voltage After BIOS Upgrade to 5.4

    After upgrading in preparation for a 3770K, the new BIOS doesn't let me set the CPU Ratio (it reads Auto without [], and is not adjustable). It also does not let me adjust the DRAM voltage (same thing is shown - Auto without []). This is in "normal" mode, but same thing goes for "eco" mode. If I switch to OCG mode, the ratio adjusts, but I do not have manual control. Prior to BIOS it was fine and adjustable. Any suggestions?

    I tried OCG mode (which defaults to 4.2). This also did not work. BIOS shows 4.2 in top left and in ratio, but CPU-Z continues to show 3.4.
    Switching to OCG and back to normal also failed to POST, but a CMOS clear and battery removal remedied that.
    But even after the reset BIOS shows set ratio, while CPU-Z and benchmarks show stock 3.4.
    I'll post a separate topic.

  • Cannot adjust brightness in windows 7 64bit

    Hi everyone, thanks for reading!
    I cannot adjust the brightness in windows 7 64bit with my keyboard. I have tried reinstalling the latest bootcamp drivers but it still did not work.
    The brightness of the monitor is just too bright for my eyes...
    Is there anyway I can fix this problem? I really appreciate yr help!
    My computer is an mid 2011 27" iMac. It has a i5 CPU, originally 4GB ram but i added another 16GB ram to it.
    Thanks for your help again!

    is your problem that you can't adjust the brightness from some keyboard shortcut or that you can't adjust it by any means in windows?
    I have the same generation imac just 21" model and the apple support hardware video card driver auto adjust the brightness for me if one don't use the apple driver and let windows install some generic amd video card driver that may not be the case
    check the amd catalyst display settings for more info also about brightness

  • 875P CPU Ratio locked?

    Just setup my system
    875P MSI NEO MB
    P4 2.8 800FSB HT
    2x 512 HyperX Kingston RAM
    2x WD HDD SATA Raptor 36.7 10000RPM
    KT - 436 WM Case
    ANTEC 480w TrueBlue
    Sony FDD
    Pioneer CD/DVD-ROM
    The Drives are setup in a RAID-0
    Here are my problems
    1) The Freq/Volt is listing the CPU Ratio as Locked!?!?! WTH!! I can't touch the multiplier!!
    2) I cannot get the HDD LED to work for the life of me anyone had success is the manual wrong? should I try other Pins?
    3) My case has Front Panel USB(x4). 2 of the connectors from the panel are meant to plug into the board and each have a n extra pin that I think is meant as an extra ground or something. Should I just ignore these and plug them in normally?
    My RAM runs at 2/2/2/6 8 just fine and the drives are working great got windows loaded just fine with all the drivers and MSI utilities. Though the tru-color doesn't work very well turned everything a bit too blue.
    Number one is my real headache I really wanted to run this sucker at 3.0-3.2 and up the FSB a bit.
    Also sorry I don't know which BIOS revision I am at since I am at work I'll post it when I get home. Though the auto update thing told me it was up to date.

    Ok well I found out Intel still locks their chips I thought they had stopped doing this and just found out how wrong I am.
    Anyone have any insights on the HDD LED??

    hello. thanks for the replies .. well I have two options in fixed mode and no low frequencies in dynamic mode if drops to 800 mhz. I leave it in dynamic mode?
    only it in dynamic mode is enabled EIST
    At 43X, Turbo OC Method, all my settings are on Auto. If Dynamic Mode with your OC is allowing power saving feature to work, then recommend to stay with it or set it to Auto unless it affects the stability of the system when set to Auto.
