X79-UP4 - 3930K Unable to change CPU Ratio

X79-UP4 - 3930K Unable to change CPU Ratio
« on: September 22, 2013, 06:04:27 pm »
I got this board 5 days ago and paired it with an i7 3930k C2 Stepping.

I tried a lot of different BIOS both official,modded,beta etc and the problems persists...

The motherboard ignores the change of CPU Ratio at all.

I tried a lot of different things/combinations , with or without tyrbo , energy savings, setting voltages manually etc etc.

The processor never gets above 3800 with turbo enabled.
If turbo is off the processor runs at 3200 even if i set the ratio to something else than 32.

I am out of ideas and i start thinking if i have a defective motherboard or processor.
Unfortunately i dont have the luxury to test with another MB or CPU right now..

Any help will be much appreciated.

-->do you mena in the bios setup, the processor doesn't go abvoe 3800? or in windows?
you can use cpuz to check in windows.

The processor never uses the multiplier i set in BIOS.

Even if i enable/disable Turbo the main multiplier remains 32 no matter what i set...

Both in BIOS and Windows...

I have checked it several times with CPU-Z

If you are trying to OC you will have to ask over at the OC threads. They can help you out better.

Plus when you are in turbo mode it will only work when you really need it. It will not run 100% of the time.
