Set CPU ratio?

Hi,
I been note that when installing a "Prescott" CPU I have been told to do the following:
"Set CPU ratio default value to max when Prescott CPU install"
But where in the bios do you do this?
Under what option is this?
What are they getting at / mean?
Mobo = 865GM2-S(MS-6743G)
Please help!!
Thanks

Oh now I see what you mean.....This is an instruction MSI made in the latest biosversion 5.4 för your motherboard.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=453&kind=1
This is nothing you have to do ( or can do ) yourself in bios...........
It may be more important for you to update bios to this "prescott-version" and take care of the chassiventilation to lower cpu temp.

or get a "prescott-chassi" something like this...

865p wierd cpu ratio select problem

I just got a new p4 3ghz 800mhz fsb cpu and an 865p neo motherboard. When I boot. It gives and error saying it thinks that the bios is configured correctly. For the CPU it says " , 1.6ghz " When I enter setup. In the menu option for setting CPU ratio I get wierd selection. (yes it is an unlocked part. (I work at Intel)
It starts at H1.0X whatever that is supposed to mean. My choices are
0.0x, H1.0x, H2.0x ... I1.0x, I2.0x, ... I5.0x
No matter what I choose when I save and exit it just leaves me with a blank screen then shuts itself off. It keeps doing that until I reset the bios then I'm back to where I began.
If I say skip and go to the boot menu I works until I have to reboot again. I managed to intall the operating system, etc so I could get internet working and use the live update thing. It says my bios and inf are current.

FM-A75IA-E53 + A10-6800K cpu ratio is locked

Hi!
As Russian's MSI forum is dead I'd ask here.
New board FM-A75IA-E53 (bios 2.0) + A10-6800K + 2x4Gb 2133MHz GSkill Ares RAM
Post, Boot Win7_x64 boot is Ok. But problem comes from Sun Virtual machine player.
The virtual machine is failed to start due to virtualization is off. I have search in the bios but failed to find 'SVM enable' switch. Despite it was described in the manual. (hint: bios 2.0 'SVM enable' is absent)
The bios was updated to 2.2.
'SVM enable' switch appear with Enable/Disable options.
Win!
But!
The CPU Ratio and Turbo Ratio is locked now. The lines to set the ratio is active (highlited, not dimmed as disabled) but on action on mouse click.
Does it common error with this mobo+cpu+bios or it is my motherboard bug?
Please help.

You need to use +/- keys to change ratio settings not mouse click.

CPU Ratio not changing

Hello,
I have a K7N2G (Bios ver 3.7) with an XP2500 Barton CPU and any changes
that I make to the CPU ratio has no effect. The FSB changes do stick though
and I've set all bios options manually.
J10 is in user mode and J11 is at 133/166.
Any ideas?

newer bartons are factory locked like the P4
only the older ones can alter multipliers
prior to week 39 or so last year

KT4V CPU ratio

Hi,
few days ago purchased MSI kt4v mainboard. I have a question about cpu ratio settings in bios.
These are the options MB offers me:
14.0
15.0
6.0
7.0
13.0
12.5/13.0
14x and 15x at the top. But when i try to set 14X133, the real setting is 4x133 !! Same with 15x (5x133). So, these 2 settings don't work! CPU is unlocked, becouse i can use all other ratios! I updated BIOS to 1.8 and it is the same! :(
Also i have a question about AGP: i have radeon 9000, but i can not choose AGP 8x in BIOS! I can only select 1x, 2x, 4x .... WHY? ?(
thanks for your answers.

i'll assume you are running your ddr333 at ddr333. if it's on auto then try setting it to spd and then making it 333. then try setting ur multiplier to 10 and fsb to 150 and then put ur fsb up in increments of 5. once it fails to post then bring it down one at a time. default clock for xp1700 is 1.466. 10x150 will put you at 1500 and should be possible. if you can make it to fsb 166 then stop and up your multiplier to 10.5. then keep upping your multiplier until it fails to post. upping your vcore might help. i'm not really all the familiar ocing xp chips though. i've heard sometimes you don't have to up the vcore.
as for the radeon. i looked for bios updates and unless you have a 3rd party radeon (ie. not made and shipped by ati) then you are probably out of luck with that. i know most nvidia's are 3rd party anyway so they all have different bios versions. best thing to do i guess would be to rma the card. i'm sure if all radeon 9000's didn't work at 8x with the kt4 there would be lot more posts like yours.

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.

A78m-e35 cpu ratio

Hello, I'm wondering in the bios of the a78m-e35 what the cpu ratio is suppose to set at, i have a10-770k CPU and in the bios it says 3600/3700/3800. i could have sworn it said 3400/3600/3800 and when in windows the CPU software says it's at 3692.5, shouldn't it throttle at 3400? yes power option is set to high performance and balanced throttles down to 1800. i have run monitor software before and could have sworn it throttled at 3400 ratio. also ratio can not be altered in bios. Thanks

Quote from: badboy2k on 09-August-14, 13:57:26
that cpu has turbo boost under a CPU load!
Frequency 3400 MHz (typical use without anything intensive)
Turbo frequency 3800 MHz (it will slowly alter its own Multiplier till it reaches this but may be lower under load if its not high enougth!)
Question then why is my Frequency always at 3692.5 (typical use without anything intensive)
And Turbo frequency at 3692.5 always. hits the the 3792.3 mhz sometimes but rarely. i guess that's what i'm asking is why it never hovers around 3400 MHz (typical use without anything intensive)?

880GM-P51 using wrong CPU ratio

I just bought a 880GM-P51. I'm using the latest BIOS, 12.3, and this AMD Phenom II X4 955. Everything seems fine except the BIOS sets the CPU ratio to x7 when I set it to "auto," which runs the CPU at 1.4 GHz instead of 3.2 GHz. (No, it's not just underclocking to save power, it stays at 1.4 GHz even if I push the CPU to 100% usage.) I can solve the problem by manually setting the CPU ratio to x16, but I'm worried there may be some other settings being incorrectly set. Is the processor incompatible or is something wrong with the motherboard or BIOS?

For anyone else having this problem, it is a BIOS issue. I contacted MSI support. They had me go back to using BIOS version 12.2 instead of 12.3 and that fixed the problem.
Side note: MSI's support is great. They responded within a day, fixed my issue, and said they hope to solve this problem in a future update.

Help! Can't overclock via CPU Ratio (multiplier) with K7T266 Pro (MS-6380)?

I have a Athlon 1.2 GHz (266 MHz FSB) that I'm trying to overclock via the clock multiplier on my K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) mobo.
Right now the CPU ratio is set to Auto in the Hardware Monitor in the BIOS, but I know that it's using a clock multiplier of 9 (9 x 133 Mhz = 1197 Mhz, which is about 1.2 Ghz)
The only way that I can overclock this CPU is by increasing the FSB above 133 MHz. That works, but I'd like to avoid that as the USB no longer works when the FSB is past 138 MHz (i.e. I can't OC higher than 1242 MHz through the FSB)
If I set the clock multiplier above 9 (ex: 9.5, 10, etc.) nothing happens. I reboot and my CPU is still at 1.2 GHz. Its as if I can't OC by increasing the CPU ratio. I'd like to set it to 10 and run at 1.33 GHz but I can't. Why is that?
If I lower my CPU ratio below 9, then the computer freezes up totally at bootup and I have to clear the CMOS to get it working again.
THANKS!

Hi,
You need to unloack the CPU, search google for closing L1 Bridges, then you can set it to anything you want

Kt6v cpu ratio & sound problems

Hello everybody,
First of all, I apologize for my english,
I recently bought a Msi motherboard,a KT6v model (http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/product_detail.asp?model=KT6V-LSR). My comptuer boot well, but I have two problems:
First, I can't modify the cpu ratio in the bios setting. If I do it, the four Leds of the control bracket are red and i have to do a clear CMOS (very difficult to reach the jumper :-/). It also do it if I choose the good cpu ratio and fsb (13*166)! I try with a 2400+ (15*133) and I have the same problem. These two processeurs have already been modified on an Asus a7nv8x-x(nforce2) and an Asrok Kt78xe+ (with jumper) motherboards, so I think they are not blocked. I also try to disable the "corecell" feature but it seems to be impossible in the bios. I just want to use the "high" ability of overclocking (in fact, only up the fsb and reduce the ratio) of my motherboard longly discribed in the user manual... I installed the latest via drivers.
All is working fine if the cpu ratio feature is "auto". And cpuz software says I have a 13*166 cpu ...
Second, the sound is not good. I can't use the 5.1 option (very bad rear sound and no subwoofer emulation). I try an Altec lansing 5.1 Kit and it's not working fine. I take care of the two jumpers and to install the latest drivers :-/ . It's a longtime I want to buy a sound card, perhaps it's time to do it. I'm fed up about the integrated sound cards, I want my sb Awe 64
I like Msi products and it's the first time I have problem with one of them. I hope there is a solution for the first problem, or perhaps I only misunderstood a feature?
I have another question please:
Can I switch off, during the boot of the computer, the menu for network boot option?
Thank you very much and I am sorry for my english.

I don't really want overclock my CPU, I want to change the fsb frequency from 166 to 200Mhz and modify the ratio from 13 to 10,5.
But I can't.
As I said before, I have already modify the cpu settings with 2 other motherboards, with the same Psu, the same cpu, and all the same components. So, I don't think the Psu is the problem, I hope these are good values because it's an expensive Enermax psu...
I will test for the sound, thank you !

Control center cpu ratio options

I have the users guide and it shows normal choices for the cpu ratio. The only place Ive been able to change this to more then 8.5 is in bios where I have set it to 22 before( settings in control center are 4.0 to 8.5 ). why do i not have more choices here?
990xa gd55
fx 8120 3.1 8 core
gskill 2x4 at 1600
Also in the upper right it says core speed I can set this to 4.4 and when under a load this monitor climbs to 4400MHz but drops to 2800 then up and down. cpu z reports small changes like 1 or 2 MHz difference.
Id like to get this thing to run around 3.0GHzs then climb to 4 or 4.4 GHzs under a load and stay stedy till the work is finished.

I want to rewrite the question. When set to auto my multiplier increases but not as I wish, usually with no load its 7 but sometimes no load is 17 ( just now on line ). when under a load it hangs around 15.5 I like to see it go to 20 and stay. ( now for the first time its overclocking 17 3.4 GHz with no load )
when i go to set it manual it only gives me ( in msi control center ) choices auto 4.0 to 8.5 . wheres the fun choices?
All I need is for it to go from 7 to 20 when i need it and stay low when I do not. without restarting the computer?
Im going to load default in bios now it going crazy . Be back
I had to clear cmos the only default settings where optimized and they made the cpu voltage go crazy like in the koolguy post.
if I can set the multiplier from the desktop without restarting.
Also is it better to set buss speed high or the multiplier ?

Z87-G45 GAMING unable to enable EIST when changing CPU ratio

Hi
I need some advice please.
The moment I change the CPU ratio using the +- my options for enabling turbo core and EIST gets greyed out.
I get the option to se the ratio to Dynamic mode and have tried it but the CPU still does not throttle down multipliers in Windows even if idle.
Have tried the following.
Loaded BIOS 1.3
Cleared CMOS left out battery etc.
Still does not allow me to enable it.

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 25-June-13, 00:47:21
500/(128)/500/1024(A). Try with the Power Options in Windows set to 'Balanced'.
I found my minimum processor power state was set to 100% restored that to default 5% and now it clocks down the mulit.
Now the voltage only stays at what I specified in the BIOS, can I somehow control that by setting vcore to auto and using the offset to limit volts on 1.190V?
**Edit**
Installed the MSI Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and found a setting that allows me to put core voltage mode to adaptive and now volts are down to 0.695V
Thanks so much for all the help

X79A-GD65 (8D) - Get stuck at 12x cpu ratio multiplier or 1200MHz

Hi all. Just wanted to see if anyone else observed this with the new X79 chipset motherboard and the 3930K or 3960X sandy bridge-e cpu.
When trying to overclock the motherboard in any way
1) CPU Ratio set to any number
2) Per Core Maximum ratio / multiplier
3) OC Genie II
and then trying a CPU stress utility such as Prime95
The CPU gets locked at 1200Mhz, or 12 x 100Mhz and never goes higher than that. At the same time, the temperature sensors believe the CPU is locked at 91 degrees celsius. So I believe on this bios version of 1.2 on the MS-7760 motherboard (X79A-GD65), it thinks 91 degrees is too hot, and never goes above 1200MHz. I've also tried OC Genie and manual overclocking at bios version 1.1, and I cannot go over 1200Mhz.
Only at stock speeds (no overclocking), with the 3930K, at full CPU load tests with Prime95, it does go to 3500Mhz, or 35 x 100, correctly.
Right now I cannot overclock at all, whether with OC Genie, or manual cpu ratio multipliers.
Tweaktown and HWBot and several other websites have observed this. I'm running the latest 1.2 bios, and still get stuck at 12x.
http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?s=51e18bdfe400391d0955716a5c66343d&p=138647#post138647
http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4423/msi_x79a_gd65_intel_x79_motherboard_review/index5.html

Scratch that. It was happy yesterday, but first boot of the morning today and back to stuck at 12x/91C. Will changing other voltages remedy this? I read something on a review website suggesting this was a problem with the actual 3930K/3960X chips, and not necessarily a motherboard issue.
If I raise my cpu base clock from 100 to 125 and use a 36 multiplier, the machine forces the memory to run at 2,000 MHz, which according to the SPD shown in bios should be OK, but I couldn't get it to boot like that. Is there anything I can change to allow the machine to work in that configuration?
Edit: Just read yet another OC review (this time on HardwareSecrets) and found the following:
"The “correct” way of overclocking Intel CPUs with Turbo Boost technology is to change the clock multiplier that each core will use when the Turbo Boost technology kicks in."
I just tried changing the core ratio limit for all six cores to 45, setting the cpu ratio to auto, and leaving the core voltage at 1.375V, and it seems to work again. Boots into Win7, coretemp displays correct temperatures, and when I load the cpu using prime95, it hits 4.5GHz. I will try setting core voltage to auto also so that the cpu doesn't stay at 1.375V at idle when not necessary. I'd still like to OC the memory in theory - not sure how much boost I'd get by running the memory above 1600 MHz. I'll be using this PC for some computational fluid dynamics, so every bit of speed I can eek out of it will be put to use.
Edit 2: Auto core voltage works, vcore drops to 0.840V at idle, and idle temps drop back down closer to room temperature (using an Antec Sonata Elite case with a Corsair H80 water cooler, so slightly less airflow than ideal but I have the case fans optimized for now by relocating the system blower fan to a drive bay and adding a 120mm fan in the lower drive bays pulling air out of the side of the case).

P67A-GD65 B3 - bios locked at 42x cpu ratio

Hi all
I'm running a P67A-GD65 (B3) with 2x2GB of G.Skill ripjaws (F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM) 2500k, 460gtx, WD black, WD green, win7 HP
And just added another two stick of the same ripjaws. - this didn't post :(
Cleared cmos, loaded defaults as was running the ripjaws at 1.5v still didn't boot
Removed the old set and booted fine with the new set.
Ran the bios and windows memtest all fine.
Then noticed that new sticks were running 1.66v with XMP (1600)
XMP couldn't be disable and ram speed coundn't be changed - bios showed as white, but didn't highlight with mouse or arrow keys.
CPU ratio was also at 42 (as above, white but un clickable or arrow un selectable)
It was also running stock bios 1.8 - and I'm sure I was using 1.8b11 beta
Flashed to 1.12 but that didn't change anything accept a different set of beeps
running 1.9 now with same beeps as before.
load defaults doesn't change any thing - very confused - if there a setting I need to unlock to change things manually?

Gave the OC Genie button a bit of movement when the power was fully off.
It started up perfectly after an extended time clear cmos - stock 2500k timings and 1.5v 667 (10700)
Rebooted with the extra sticks without issue , stressing the ram now without errors.
Thank to you both - don't think i left it long enough after using the cmos button - my bad, school boy error of not reading the clear cmos guide

MSI K9A2 PLAT/AMD 9850 BE/ CPU Ratio issue

Stats
AMD-9850 BE
MSI-K9A2 plat v1.0/Bios 1.3(have given 1.4 and 1.6 a try and it does not fix the issue)
PSU-Apevia Warlock 900w
ATI 4870
4gigs(2 sticks) OCZ-DDR2 1066
Windows Vista 64-SP1
My issue is that my CPU ratio will not change the speed of my current CPU clock in BIOS(or real time CPUZ). The stock CPU ratio for an AMD 9850 BE is 12.5. I can change it to 13 (ect) and save and reboot but it will not change the CPU clock, however the cell menu shows it at x13 2600 MHz. Its almost as if the ratio is locked and it should not be. I can lower the Ratio to 12 changing the CPU clock to 2.4 so it is working, in a way. When I gave bios 1.6 a try the options for CPU ration only went up to 12.5(stock). I am starting to think that I got a locked 9850 when it came in a 9850BE box!!! Is there a MB setting I am missing or anything? This is starting to drive me nuts.
Any help would be great!! thank you
PS
AOD also shows all options to change CPU Ratio grayed out.... Could having D.O.T.3 Step settings disabled mess this up?
Is There something that has to be physically set to allow this on the MB?... Which would be a 1st for me?
