What options do you get when you click on the AUTO button for BCLK Clock Control in BIOS?

 

[alaskacjc]

I do not get any other options besides auto it wont even pull up a menu to change it

Did you take CPU Clock Ration out of AUTO first?

 

[clutchc]

You may also have to take CPU Ratio out of auto in Advanced CPU Core Features too.

But that's not right. There has to be something you are not seeing....

That's what I mean. Either you are missing something, or there is something wrong with the board. I used to have a couple 990FXA-UD3s; a rev1 and a rev4. But not the newer R5. I may not be remembering something because it's been awhile. But look thru BIOS for any setting that is on auto that would keep the multi from being set. Change it to manual.

You may want to check for a later BIOS too. Not that the old one shouldn't work, but sometimes flashing the BIOS will straighten things out.

Update: Instead of clicking on Auto to change it, try just highlighting that option and start typing in a new multi number.
