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.

  • 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..

  • 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.

  • First PC Build: MSI P67A-G43 - Can't Boot From Windows 7 DVD

    MB: MSI P67A-G43
    HD: Seagate 1TB
    DVD: HP 1260
    CPU: Intel i5 2500K
    I just built my first PC.  In the BIOS I had it set to boot first from my DVD drive that has a 64-bit version of Windows 7 loaded.  No matter what I tried, I received the message: "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device"
    So I have been on the phone with technical support, and they suggested I download a driver update, which I found HERE.  
    I have tried installing both the driver and the BIOS updates, but every time it says that the boot from the pen drive failed and to check the USB drive and ROM.  
    I've looked for answers all over the web, but the only ones I find assume that you've previously had Windows installed.  This is a first boot though, and I really don't know what to do next.  Can anyone help with this?
    thanks!

    If anyone would like to take a look at these OC settings that are default with my board as to a reason why it wouldn't be booting from the DVD drive or accepting the RAM, I would appreciate it.

  • Devastatingly embarrassed- How to adjust CPU Ratio in CBII

    Guys,

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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 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?

  • 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?

  • I can't synchronize the movies I bought before, after I upgrade my IPhone ios to 5.1

    Hi every body, before releasing ios 5, I bought three movies, The matrix, Matrix reloaded and Matrix revolution, but for several months and after I upgraded my ios to 5 and then to 5.1 I can't access to two of movies I purchased before, even when I search them in Itunes , it shows that I need to purchase them again!!!
    I still have my reciepts and I need to download them but they are not in my synchronize list, what must I do , or where I must contact to solve my problem? thank you

    From iPhoneWiki:
    Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
    The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.
    Also put your iPhone in DFU mode when doing the above and restore. It's a software error.

  • Can't access Time Capsule's hard disk after Lion upgrade

    I haven't been able to access my TC's hard disk after I upgraded to Lion.
    I used to manually backup files to the volume but I can't do it anymore. I can't see the disk in the Finder's sidebar. Devices are all checked in Finder's preferences for sidebar and my WiFi/Internet works fine. Airport Utility doesn't show any problems and upgraded to OS X 10.7.1 but still no luck. I also tried to hook my laptop with ethernet cable and my TC but it didn't work either.
    Any ideas?

    I'm new to Time Capsule, but I think I have the same problem. I thought I could use Time Capsule as a hard drive, but it comes on and off in my finder. Is this normal?
