It's common to suggest to upgrade BIOS. I recommend not to unless it is essential, and reading the comments on manufacturer site do no harm either.
There are two ways to OC SandyBridge and above CPUs, one is change the clock, and the other is change Turbo settings, so lets try that way.
Load optimized defaults, change vcore as before then set all cores boost ratio (in CPU Features) to 42 (Turbo must be enabled). On my board is enough if I set 4 cores to 42 but would be safer to begin with all of them at 42.
Try with OverSpeed Protection disabled, or enabled and power limits 130 for short and 120 for long.
My CPU runs 4 threads of Prime95 (v28.5 AVX) at about 100W at 4.2GHz. So maybe for testing only, disable hyper-threading.
Another thing may be insufficient vcore maybe? Not sure what safe vcore is for 2600k, so look it up before increasing.
Ok, I tried this all and still got the same results. I enabled Turbo, then changed all the values that you suggested with the ratio at 42 and vcore at 1.3. When running 8 test threads in prime95 I still only get up to 3.9. I tried again, enabling enhanced turbo, but it didn't change anything. The only thing that I did not try was disabling overspeed protection, and I'll try that now, but if it doesn't, what is going on?

P67-G45 won't overclock

Hello. I have a P67-G45 that I bought several years ago. Lately, I have been trying to overclock my CPU to about 4.2 ghz or so. Being new to overclocking, I made many mistakes at first, but I think that I have the hang of it now. I set the CPU Ratio to 42 in my BIOS and set the voltage to 1.3. After tweaking a few other things according to a tutorial on an overclocking forum, I restarted my system and opened CPU-Z, RealTemp, and Prime95 to test it. However, when I run a Prime95 test, for some reason my CPU ratio will not go above 3.9. When not running Prime95, it breifly can go to 4.0 or even 4.1 sometimes before going back down to an idle 1.6 or so. What is going on? According to the control center, everything is set to 4.2 (well, 42 I guess), but the multiplier is staying at 39 maximum when running a stress test. You can read this thread over on another forum with full details of my overclocking experience thus far here :http://www.overclock.net/t/1542410/overclock-i7-2600k

So my bad...there is an Intel Turbo Mode setting under the OC tab. It was enabled and I tried to disable it. No change...
So then I started turning off C1E and C-State stuff. That only made it worse. According to CPU-Z the CPU was getting full voltage all the time. At least with C1E/C-States enabled the voltages will back off with no load on the CPU.
The Win 8 Task Manager is very strange. It is showing the frequency bouncing around 3.3-4.2 while CPU-Z shows it hard locked at 4.2 I am not sure what the Task Manager is using for its calculations. But even the Task Manager hard locked at 4.2 with everything disabled.
I have the same board (P67A-G45) and I am having the same problem. When I set the multiplier in the BIOS, the CPU will bounce between 3.3GHz and whatever I set the multiplier to. I am running the V1.18 BIOS. With Windows 7, I could set the multiplier to whatever I wanted, enable C-States, and the CPU would throttle down to 16x without any issue or any interaction from me.
You can use ThrottleStop to check the multiplier more accurately then CPU-Z. Also in ThrottleStop, you can click "Set Multiplier" -> "Power Saver" -> "Turn On" and the CPU will run like a champ at 16x multiplier, so its definitely possible. This 16x get reported in CPU-Z and in the Windows Task Manager as well. Once you disable Power Saver, its back to 33x + multiplier land.
I hope a solution to this will be found, seems really silly to install a new OS and have CPU multiplier issues...

Oh no, they are not, as you can OC the GPU and the BCLK if you so wish.
First peruse the facts before making wild comments that are untruthful. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4830/intels-ivy-bridge-architecture-exposed
It does help to gather technical facts before purchasing HW that one expects to support the intended outcome.
No H67 board out there supports "K" edition CPU multiplier overclocking. Sorry mate. Cry on Intel's shoulder.
Never buy a Yaris and then tell the manufacturer that he forgot to give you the Lexus luxuries.
OK, just gotten the box of the mainboard, let me qoute from the box:
OC Genie is an auto-overclocking technology for any type of user. Just enable the OC Genie function and the CPU memory, and iGPU will be automatically increased for top performance!
Benefits:
Auto detect and overclock CPU, memory, and iGPU in 1 second
Unlock CPU Ratio and overclock to 4.2GHz
Unleashed 36% iGPU increase
Tell me how this is not a lie, overclock to 4.2 GHz...

MSI P67 G45 (B3)

Hello. I am using MSI p67-g45 board for almost 3 weeks.
intel 2500k cpu
ripjaws 4gb ddr3 1600ram
2x sapphire vapor-x HD5850's crossfired
2x samsung f4 raid0
no problems so far but one. tmpin #1 (PCH) gets crazy hot. even with stock cpu timings and settings without any extra stress, it reaches 85-90degrees and its not misreading its for real, you feel it when you touch or you can actually see how it affects the first card on crossfire. I have a case with very good airflow. in fact motherboard PCH is the only component breaks 60 degrees celcius in whole system. graphic cards only peaks to 58 while playing bc2, cpu stays max 55, airflow is great but when I check HWmonitor temps, I can see PCH (TMPIN#1) is 90 or 100 c... IF I overclock the crossfired 5850's a little, it reaches 110-120 degrees celcius.. so, my concern: is this a bad mobo which I should return? or all p67 g45 is the same?
another member asked a question like this and some admin said "re apply tim".. well I dont wanna break its guarantee or just break it. Its obvious that I am not the only one having this issue. This board has temp issues or PCH probe reads crazy temps.. which is true and what should I do please make this clear for me. I dont want to return it since its flawless with overclocking and all other good stuff. but this temp is a no-go. I dont want something 100c in the case while all other components are 40-50c. Thanks for reading.

so you are saying its completely normal? im sure its nothing like 100c or 120c as you said. probably misreading. but the gfx card on top (first one of the crossfire cards) is almost 15 degrees celcius hotter then the bottom card most of the time. plus, top card uses better-bigger-heavy cooling. at least I can guess is the PCH heating up the first card since its right next to it. I mean second card is smaller 5850 Xtreme version which is cheaper too. I used them before in a P45 rig with c2duo system. temps never reached 50c at first card while idling. so the possible scenario is: gfx heating up PCH and PCH heating up gfx and I cant do anything like moving the card to second slot cuz im already using bot of them at crossfire. while gfx covering the PCH I cant place a fan on it too.
I've tested the temps in some scenarios. First, I only stressed CPU with prime and while cpu kept 55c max (stock timings), PCH gone to 67c in 1 hour maximum heat torture test. I can say HWmonitor is reading faulty PCH temp but not. Cuz when I touch it, its really hot. nothing like 40 or 50c, its hot as hell and guess what, GPU1 temp never go down from 55 at idle. second card was 35-38c tops. there were no load on both cards since they were idling at windows.
Second thing, I stressed CPU with prime then I stressed both GPU's with furmark. TMPIN#1 went crazy like 90c's cuz the first video card was at 80c while second one kept it 70. I will make another test. I will replace the better cooled card with 5850@ second slot, which has worse cooling. and make these test all again. I let you know what happened with screenshots and make my descision about rma the board or not. at least users having the same issues like me can get an idea. thx for reading

Z87-GD65 won't Overclock

Got My Z87-GD65 back from RMA.When i try to set my 4770k to 4.2ghz in bios its reverts to 39 only.I have flash to latest bios and still same thing.It wont let me overclock at all.I switched to bios B,and still locked at 3.9ghz.Even OC Genie won't overclock it.Did i get a worst board than the one i RMA'd.The one i sent in had a bricked bios A,but B still worked.Even my ram i set the xmp profile to 2400,but only does 1600.

Itunes progress bar is not moving and music won't play. I also have no audio from my laptop at all. Any ideas? I am running windows 8.

Have had no previous problems with iTunes but for past two weeks my I tunes progress bar is not moving and music won't play.
I also have no audio from my laptop at all. Any ideas? I am running windows 8.

I'm having the same incredibly frustrating problem. I have 50-60 GBs of music and now literally ALL OF A SUDDEN most of my mp3s won't play in iTunes. Of the songs that do play, many of them sound garbled (almost as if you were listening to them underwater). As others have noted, the songs do in fact play properly in other media players (VLC, MPC, WMP, etc).
I feel like I've tried just about everything but I can't seem to fix the problem. Nor have I been able to find any viable solutions after hours of scouring the internet. Here is a list of the steps I've taken so far, in chronological order:
1. Closed/re-opened iTunes
2. Re-booted computer
3. Uninstalled/re-installed iTunes
4. Tried deleting songs from iTunes library and then re-adding them, but after dropping files into the library they don't show up at all, iTunes refuses to import them
5. Downgraded from iTunes 8 to iTunes 7
None of these things have helped at all and I am amazed that even after completely uninstalling iTunes 8 and then installing version 7 I'm still experiencing the same problem. And, on top of things, I've found that iTunes 7 is not recognizing the ID3 tags for many of the songs it does import.
My apologies for the length of this post. I just want to be specific and provide as much info as I can so that maybe we can find a solution to this thing.
So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I know this topic is old but i have been having this same problem as andy and i cant figure it out. Also im sorry if i wasnt suppose to continue on someones thread but i thought it would be easier since we had the same problem. I have the same mobo and cpu, this only happens when i try to OC. when i set it back to stock bios it doesnt happen. Event id 41 with a random reboot and no BSOD. i dont know what to do anymore besides revert back to stock. IF anyone can help me let me know.
i have oc to 4.4 multiplier with 34x uncore ratio.
things i have tried. set everything to auto except those two settings above.
changed oc multiplier to fixed/dynamic.
turned off xmp lowered ram to 1333mhz ddr3
tested vcore from 1.15 to 1.265 in bios.
vccin at 1.9 to 1.95
vring to 1.15
auto offset settings (vcore/vrin) - also tried .001 offset as well
turned off and on c-states
C1E off
ram timing and volts to auto or manual timings of 9-10-9-28-2 1.5V which were found on the box of ram
ive ran memtest+86 for 4 runs with no problems
sfc/scannow -checked out ok
ran antivirus/malware
ccleaner
lowered cpu multiplier to x40
i passed AIDA64 and prime95 with 6 hours each with vcore at 1.2 but its reboots randomly when on light load like internet browsing.

MOVED: P67-GD65 Overclocking

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=155015.0

Overclocking is at your own risk.
A moderate overclock could be regarded as a set up where you can maintain your power saving features and keep your voltages within the Intel specified values. For the Sandy Bridge CPUs it is recommended to stay below 1,4V.
OC Genie normally provides higher voltages than is really necessary and if you start tweaking yourself you may find for the same voltage, that you probably run at 4,3-4,5GHz. But each CPU is slightly different and you will need to find the upper limit.

Thanks for the quick reply and suggestions. I did already have those settings tweaked and was still having issues.
For posterity, after hours of tweaking every possible thing in BIOS, I found the answer. It wasn't even in BIOS. In control panel > power options, under advanced, there was a processor power management setting that locked the minimum value to 100%. Lowered that down to 40% and voila, working multiplier. I have NO idea why it was still working under default values in BIOS as I haven't touched the Windows power settings since I installed windows. But hey it's working now and as of yet, I have no crashes while my system is in idle.
Hours in BIOS and I didn't even have to leave Windows to fix the problem.

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165481.0

Interestingly enough, after reading your post, I did some checking with mine. I have the core voltage bumped up to 1.237 in afterburner (note: it rounds the voltage to the nearest 3/10 of a volt I think) and the clock at 1150 for testing, down from 1200 where it's been for a couple of months due to recent crashes in BL2.
Both GPU-Z and HWiNFO64 show 0.825v at idle and 1.219v under load! Afterburner, however, shows 1.3v using it's in system tray monitoring tool.
So now I don't know what to believe. It seems as if it's not changing for me as well.
Tomorrow I'm going to hook up the leads and check it with my VOM so I can see for myself.

First thing, post in the right section: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?board=27.0
Change the VCore voltage with + and - keys by number pad. If you set it to a value like 0.125, you add 0.125 to stock voltage of chip.

I'm using brass standoffs, I think one near each corner screwed in and one post-type near the center.
Never think! Be 100% sure!
That your standoffs match the board holes, no more no less (those holes with tin circle around them).
Timings should be set on auto-settings. And certainly those aren't good as they are meant for Intel not AMD.
