Turbo Multiplier Missing! Asus Z77 Motherboard.

[Jonathanese]

MOBO: ASUS P8Z77-V LK
CPU: 3570k


Okay, so the other day, I was tweaking my BIOS, and had to clear the CMOS after a failed start.

Once it came back, I found that my "Turbo Multiplier", as well as several other options, had completely vanished. There was also a new option added. "ASUS Multi-Core Optimization" or something like that. I could change the multiplier, but only up to 34. (I was at 45 before.)


So anyway, first thing I do is flash a new BIOS on there, but the problem persisted. Cleared CMOS again to no avail.




Here are some of the options I've considered after reading around:

-Reseat the processor. It'll say "found new processor" and will have to rescan the features of the 3570K.

-RMA

-Something to do with flashing the Intel Management Engine (ME).

I haven't tried these yet because I'm not home. But has anyone experienced this or has someone who got it solved?

How about Ai tweaker > Cpu power management > Cpu ratio?

Yes, that's the one that is limited to 34. So it's basically running as though turbo mode (and thus overclocking) is disabled.

Tried:
-Enable/Disable C-states
-Enable/Disable Turbo and EIST
-Reflashed BIOS Cleared CMOS
-Checked for all three areas of CPU control
>AI Tweaker: No turbo Ratio available
>AI Tweaker\CPU power management: Limited to 34
>Advanced/Advanced CPU settings/Power management: Limited to 34 as well.

Thanks very much, bloodpain!!
Successfully recovered my P8Z77-V's bios which had become corrupted - had no 'turbo ratio' or iGPU function and setting memory above 1333Mhz always caused overclock failure.
