Multiplier Wont Apply

Nefarious · 20 Feb 2017 at 02:09

I have two Asus Z170 Pro Gaming motherboards, both fitted with i7 K processors.

When I try to manually alter the multiplier for the CPU, it does not apply it to the CPU - any advice?

(manually altering the BCLK does produce an effect)

Make sure you have sync all cores selected. Also when saving and exiting the bios, you should get a confirmation message pop up telling you what settings you have changed. Do you get that?

Obvious first step, but have you checked that the BIOS's are up to date?

In modern cpu's /boards you don't change the multiplier you change the boost speed.

Are we getting mixed up with terms here ?

Skylake or Kabylake?

Depends on what board you are referring to, most of the ASUS have a multiplier speed and then a turbo boost speed, its the turbo boost you change to over clock on new Intel, changing the multi wont change anything apart from none boosted speed.

I'm not a big enough expert really, but I was just trying to point the OP in the right direction.
