Well we all know this BIOS is a work in progress and for whatever reasons my BIOS is still buggy. I'm going on my 2nd month of problems trying to get the BIOS to work right.

For the last week I have been trying to get this MB to over clock with auto voltage while maintaining the power efficiency features and increasing the Turbo Boost limits.

With the new MB and new fresh official BIOS my MB still doesn't allow for this feature to work. I even took my 2500k back to the store to exchange because I thought it may be the CPU.


Great thread to read about setting this configuration up.

With the help of a MSI forum moderator I was able to figure out the correct setting to do what I wanted to do.

[Bernhard from MSI Forum]
Adjust CPU ratio and scroll those values up or down and you will see that the 33 multi (for 2500K) appears twice. Once in between 60 and 16 and again in the sequentual numbers, i.e. ....29, 30,31, 32, 33, 34.................
Ensure that yours is set to the one in between 60 and 16.

That was the problem. I set it to the 33 between 60 and 16 and it now works.

Back on the happy over clocking trail with this MB! :)

MB is go to put into case with water loop.
