Title: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 with i5-3570K overclocking problem
Post by: buggywhip on June 20, 2012, 08:23:49 pm

Hi,

While attempting an overclock I cannot get the F12 BIOS to accept a clock multiplier greater than 38. 

GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 rev 1.3, i5-3570K

Any suggestions?  Tx.

Hi

From my understanding there is a problem with the BIOS on the Z68 boiards that locks the multipliers on the Ivybridge K chips.

Encase anyone has a similar issue, get the new Bios, apparently fixes the issue.
