I've verified this issue with the help of Massman on MSI Z77A-GD65. Also found a temporary solution, apparently if opening ThrottleStop 4.0 in Windows makes the multiplier jump back up. Can someone please verify this on their board?

Hi boys. I have the same problem. I have used DRY ICE to overclock a 3570K. I can use the max molti 38x in the bios anf 1600MHZ strap RAM. I tried with 2600K and the same situation. With Phase Change I can get 53X with 3570K and 57X with 2600K.

What can I try to solve this problem ?

itd be best to tell us what other hardware you are currently using.

 

My config is:

 

MSI Z77 GD65

3570K / 2600K

2X2GB G.SKILL 1600MHZ CAS 6-8-6-24 2T

ALI CORSAIR TX750V2

HDD CRUCIAL M4

COOLING: DRY ICE in this moment, and Phase Change for the usual bench

I'm locked at 38x with multi. I have try to flash v 10.3b2 bios with ME updated anche the last v 10.6b2 but same story. Max multi on bios 38X.

How Can I do to change the ME version? I have seen that with 10.3b2 bios the ME version is always 8.0.1.1399, the same of v10.5 bios. I have flashed in DOS

Just confirmed the solution on my board here at home. Using:

 

- 3770K

- Z77A-GD65

- Bios V10.5b3

- ThrottleStop 5.00 b1 (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Benchmarks/ThrottleStop.shtml)

 

Board boots in at 16x, enabling ThrottleStop makes it jump up to 45x (as set in BIOS).
