i7 3770 stuck on 5GHz after changing the ratio

[galshaked1610]

hello i have msi z77-ga43

and just entered the bios and changed the cpu ratio to 4.3 (the max he let me choose is 4.3)
i restrated, when windows in i saw in the task manager that the ratio is stuck on 5Ghz and not moving.
so i changed the ratio back to 3.4 and now it wont go up? it stuck on 3.4.
how do i change that only when it turbo boost it will go to 4.3?

Should be F5 in bios to reload factory default settings.

Pending the CPU power settings, it may not turbo at idle. This is a power saving feature. You may want to see what the clockspeed is when the CPU is under load. I would download Intel XTU. There is a build in benchmark there, it will tell you exactly what the clockspeed is while running the benchmark.

If XTU says 3.4 when you run the benchmark, then shut down the system and clear the CMOS. To clear the CMOS remove the batter form the mobo for about 10 seconds. The battery is round and about the size of a quarter. Then boot back up and it will reset the bios to factory defaults.

ok but how do i overclock it? so the boost will be 4.3?

If it's a i7-3770, you can't overclock, OC requires a i7-3770K CPU and Z rated mobo. Ivy-Bridge cpus did allow a small bump to cpu speeds, usually 200MHz beyond the turbo setting.

i forgot to mention i have z77 ga43

The 3770 is a locked CPU. So it does not matter if you have a z77 board. Karadjgne is right, I did not notice it was a 3770. 3.4 is the base clock and 3.9 is the boost. That is all you will get out of it.

Go for it then, but dont expect to get some weird differences as that chip does not support overclocking. I would echo the comments in the post, dont mess with the BCLK as that will make other changes than just the CPU frequency.

but the problem is that i dont know how to do it. i said in this thread that i only raised the cpu ratio to 4.3 and now the cpu is stuck on 4.3ghz without turbo. i mean that he is allways on 4.3ghz and he dont go down or higher. please help me

If you raised it to 4.3, there will be no turbo. Once you overclock it automatically disables the turbo.

If you raised to 4.3 and you cant get it back to 3.4, then clear the CMOS or reset the mobo.
