CPU Multiplier Resets Itself =S

Thanks a lot mate, I used the OC genie button and it has booted, at 4,2Ghz and a slightly high (I think) 1.336Vwith temps idling around 42 degrees C snf 62 degrees after like 5 minutes of prime95 looks like it will reach the mid 70s if I left prime95 going which I think could damage my CPU. However my question is, why would this work with OC genie button but not with OC genie mode in BIOS as you know in MSI BIOS there is an Eco Mode, a Standard mode and a OC Genie mode, before trying the OC genie button I tried OC genie mode just by going to OC genie mode in the BIOS and this was giving the result of resetting my multiplier (it chose the same 4.2Ghz and voltage as the OC genie button, but reset my multiplier on save and restart).

But I can completely confirm that in the BIOS if I leave everything on default but disable turbo boost and put the multiplier up to 36 it resets back to 33, however if the OC to 4.2Ghz with OC genie works it cant be system stability (I think/hope =/).

I dno I am puzzled, but I am going to boot with OC genie button off now as I dont like that CPU voltage (it wasnt already on)

I doubt it is this, but do you know if this is an issue fixed in the 23.1 version of the BIOS? As I have not flashed mine (because I am freaking worried to) and still have 23.0.

Thanks a lot
George

Not sure what it might be, bad BIOS to CPU communication? Fault in the mobo, RAM timings, maybe even just some settings I am overlooking, who knows.

good to see that OC Genie works as well as it's advertised. I wouldnt worry too much about the temp, Intel's own (always overly safe) recommendations is a max temp of 85C

I've forwarded a link to our FAE engineers, hopefully they will have an answer for you soon.
