I think I have summed it up perfectly, we are overclocking a spectrum of settings not just like the older CPUs......fixed Max speed

I would not say it's frustrating as much as challenging

You still don't say what CPU you have ?

Sorry 2500k OEM

Guys, Still unable to get Windows to boot with the 46x multi.

Any change someone can take some screen shots using the 46x multi and above too see if I am missing something?

Are you running 1.33a Beta bios? If not then flash to it and enable PLL Overvoltage.

Or the 1.40 bios

I hit 5.1ghz

so far with the 1.40 bios (But not prime stable) http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=18331753&postcount=166

This is incorrect.

Care to elaborate?
'This is incorrect' doesn't help much, any names of boards/software as I would be interested in this myself.

Judging by sig I would guess the Asus P67, I believe it is also possible with the Gigabyte and MSI motherboards as well.

Also it is very disappointing not to be able to use the windows software to overclock. It makes ASRock look like they can build great hardware but suck when it comes to software.

JBod said:
But if you change multi you have to reboot. As far as I am aware the other manufacturers manage to have this feature working just fine..

Just tryed the Asrock AXTU software and i can change my CPU multi in windows without rebooting..
(And i double checked it did change everytime with CPU-Z..)

Its quite weird, sometimes I can lower it some times I cannot. Sometimes I can go up one notch... most of the time you change it then hit apply... it comes up in red asking you to reboot. it is mentioned in many of the reviews I have read as well.

I have the P67 Professional board and I am current running the Beta 110G bios, I have also tried the official 1.50 bios.

Both of these have the PLL Overvoltage option but it doesn't help if it is on or not.

Starting to think it might just be my 2500k

As said above, Asus with the AI Suite. You did mention it was a gimmick and i think its a bit off topic so... I figured why bother saying anything else!

It's what I've said for a long time......I'm not saying it's not working but it just has no effect

Pull some memory out or do something, I don't believe at some setting it will not get into windows !

Are you using the lastest 1.34 verson of the ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility..

I would guess any reviews would been using the older 1.33 or before version

Tells which version your using in the bottom Left corner

JBod · 15 Feb 2011 at 17:38

I am at work at the moment, but it was the latest on the site about a week ago now.

I have tried different memory slots with 1 stick and 2 sticks, even tried different memory to no avail.

I think the PLL overvoltage option is either on or off, just checked and can't see any additional voltage options when it's enabled

You can adjust the PLL voltage to what you want

Anyone else have a cold/double boot problem? When I switch it on it comes on then turns itself off ... then on again and boots fine. Only happens when overclocked... I know you thinking unstable overclock... however Windows boots fine and I can Prime for hours.
