Relevant System Info -
Mobo - MSI Z68A-GD65-G3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Cooler - Gelid Tranquillo
CPU - Core I5 2500k @3.3GhZ
PSU - Antec TruePower New Modular 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
Ok so I am pretty new to overclocking, basically, I disabled EIST which worked then reset, booted BIOS and it was still disabled, I then set CPU core to 1.16V as a test saved and rebooted, and tried changing the multiplier from 33 to 36, I then saved settings and rebooted, however when the PC boots up again I go into the BIOS, and the multiplier is still set at 33, quite puzzled by this problem. However I then got into Windows and ran CPU-Z which confirmed the PC was running at 3.3Ghz at load and at the voltage I set it too constalty (with slight fluctuations)
On a slight side (but related) note, when the PC was not at load it was running at 1.5Ghz, should this still happen with EIST disabled? I thought with EIST the CPU always ran at max speed =S
Any ideas? Thanks for any help!
