MSI X99A Godlike Gaming overclocking issues

[Locke7280]

My problem is simple, but I can't seem to fix it. I can adjust the cpu ratio using the plus/minus keys, however the system changes the settings the moment I turn OC genie on. No matter what I set the ratio to, it changes it to 39 at the highest. I'm using a I7-5930k processor, if that helps any at all. I wanted to try it out at 4.5 mhz, but alas it won't let me. At this point I'd settle for 4.2. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have the latest BIOS? Also, I'd do the OCing manually, these auto OC things tend to set voltages to high and aren't very effective

I flashed the latest BIOS off the MSI website when I had the problem, it didn't help. I left most other settings on auto or at their default level. I was just trying to raise the cpu ratio above 39, but it doesn't seem to want to let me.

Might need to add to the vCore (CPU) voltage

I'm not sure I explained well enough, so I'll try again. The settings change before I even restart the PC to actually overclock. I set the cpu ratio to 45, click the OC Genie button on the BIOS screen to enable it, reopen the settings and it has been changed to 39.

I don't use those auto OC things, they seldom ever set anything decent and generally overvolt about everywhere. Have you tried manually OCing

Yup...OC genie just doesn't work correctly for me for some reason. When i tried doing it manually it worked fine. Lesson learned.

Glad to hear, have fun
