Hello People.
Please i need advice,help...

Yesterday i bought GA-P61A-D3 and putted intel 2500K (pure K,not another from serie)
and now i have a problem ..
default cpu clock ratio on board for this cpu is 33 now my problem is that bios on board F8 is not letting me set any value for the clock above 34
on delivery board bios was F5 bios ,it was acting the same as current F8 bios from gigabyte site.

Second Turbo boost doesn't work either ..In bios turbo boost shows that CPU speed is 3.6ghz but when i boot OS(win7 x64) i learn that its actually 3.4
and no matter what i do i cannot boost CPU beyond that value..

Please help?

With (+ -) on keyboard bios accepts changes from 33 to 34 but not any higher,i can try to type manually value above that
but it just gets reseted beck to 33


PC has chieftek 850W Ntro napajanje.







Advice Please?

I have a couple of question. You're at 3.3ghz and around the high 40 degree C temperature almost 50. Before clocking any higher, don't you think you need a better CPU cooler? It doesn't look like this board can handle much of a clocking. Try Switching "Core current limit(amp)" to 200 too and then mess around with the voltage. if the clocking is resetting on you, then the voltage might not be enough.

i didn't  installed my 212+ cooler at that time.
anyway i have returned the board and got me P67 chipset
i was amd user since i know my self,and this is learning to me how stupid intel can be and not notifying users about their stupidity.

H chipsets cant do OC not even turbo mode is available on H series.board is locked against any attempts.
you can just toss the whole series into garbage.
