Asus Sabertooth Z77 + 3770k: CPU Ratio Locked

[Rogean]

Actually removing the battery would just accomplish what I did in the first place, which was using the cmos reset jumpers. I might just try that again though.

From the stupidly limited amount I know, re-batterying should work... are you sure?

Saw your post on T's Hardware, I looked up another thread similar to yours. They found out that he had to have Turbo mode enabled in the actual bios. Because when you reset jumpers and set it back to default, the only way for that processor to again exceed 3.5mghz is through turbo, after you use turbo to get it back to 43/45 on a clean boot, you are supposed to then be able to manually set it back to 35-45.

This user had exact same 35 lock problem on this thread: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/s...d.php?t=718113

He said he solved it by updating his bios with the Ami-method found in this thread.

Sounds like a damaged CPU to me.

Starting to sound similar. I'd double check everything at a physical level - make sure the cooling is running well, things are securely in place, reapply the thermal paste, etc. The chips and the sockets are resilient. Don't curb stomp the board or use any gentle twisting motions to get it out, but fine otherwise.

Sucks it's not working - that's some really nice equipment to not work well.

As a gnomish wizard, I will admit I was channeling some Skee-Lo. I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was... Grats on your sweet mask! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
