I have the above mobo along with a 2500k and 4gb of ram.
I have been running the system at 4.6ghz and felt like I could go higer, so i changed my multi to 48 and booted into windows fine, however my muti stays at 46, touch bios confirms I have it set to 47 but it is only running at 46, is this a bios issue, can someone using this mobo try the 47 mutli for me?

Try this latest Beta BIOS:
GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3 - F6c (http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/12/20/2696817/Z68XUD3P.6c.zip)

Yep, try an updated BIOS. What vcore and LLC level are you using?
-
My vcore in bios is 1.335
In windows it's 1.368
In windows on load it's 1.38 using level 6 LLC
-
Updated to the beta bios posted above, I then reset to defaults and then overclocked my system to 4.7ghz which booted first time at the correct multi, second boot and so on was at 46 multi, there is a definet issue here.....what next :(
-
Any ideas before I return my motherboard back to the supplier?
-
Have you also tried increasing BCLK/DMI/PEG Frequency to 105-110 in order to nudge it firmly over the 100MHz mark... this will push the speed slightly over 4.7 Ghz...?
Not our board but pretty similar - http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2011/01/07/how-to-overclock-the-intel-core-i5-2500k/4
Also what happens if you try and do x48?
-
48 multi is the same, shows as 46.
Firstly I am not after a work around, I want a fix.
I have thought about changing the BCLK to 103 which would give me 4.7 but if that's stable I will want to try 4.8 and so on, so it's not a solution for me.
I have read that increasing the BCLK can cause damage, is a slight increase ok?
Can I return my motherboard based on this?

The F6C bios has now been removed from the download page, any ideas why?

Memory multi bug.
New Beta coming soon.
-
Don't forget that you have to turn Turbo off the reach the higher levels of multiplier.
-
I allways turn Turbo off.
The multi issue in the beta that has been removed, I am presuming that this is the issue I am having and was this issue present in all bios released?

Touch bios reports a 47 multi but I am clearly still on 47, this is after a cmos reset.
-
Did you ever sort this out Gary?
-
No I haven't, I did find someone else withn the same motherboard with the exact same issue.
Lets see if Gigabyte release a working bios to fix this issue.
It's like buying a ferrari and sticking to the speed limit :'(
-
It probably is a BIOS issue and i have the same board and do at some point want to OC to 4.7 Ghz... I am guessing because the board is new, an update in the future to the firmware will sort this. Fingers crossed.
-
I am sure there wil be many BIOS updates to come and hopefully one of them should fix this issue. ;)

-
I have updated to the F6D bios and there is no change, still running at 46 multi.
I am going to contact the suplpier tomorrow and ask if I can return it and go for an Asus board.
Thanks for your efforts. :(

Ok, i just tried this with mine, as a test...
