Title: Z170X Gaming 5 - Can not change the CPU multiplier
Post by: quyeno on July 28, 2016, 09:33:01 am

Hi

I have a Z170X-Gaming 5 and an i7 6700k.  My problem is that I can not change the CPU clock ratio.  The setting is greyed out and is AUTO.  I can change the CPU Upgrade setting but not the CPU clock ratio.  The motherboard recognises the CPU as i7 6700k.  How do I change the CPU Clock ratio.

Thanks

Hello,

Are you able to take a screenshot of the BIOS and post here?
(Insert a USB stick, when in the BIOS press F12)

Advanced Frequency settings.

And is this the Rev 1.0 or Rev 1.1 board?

Hi

It's a Rev 1.0.  I've flashed the BIOS to the latest F5 bios using QFlash, it was F3 out of the box.  But still can not change the CPU ratio.

Here are the BIOS screen grabs.

I'll take a look at my one tomorrow and see the options but for what you have,
In the advanced CPU core settings there should be more options to allow you to change each individual core.

If you can move over it, get the field highlighted then type the number you want and press enter.
