Hello there to guys at BIOS Mods!!!!
Today I am facing a horrible issue here. For some reason my BIOS ( American Megatrends AMI BIOS v080015) has hidden many settings including CPU frequency , CPU Voltage, Ram Voltage , Ram Frequency, and all Overclocking Options.... My CPU is an Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHz to 3.6GHz (Turbo Boost)... But the problem is that the turbo boost is disabled somehow by the Motherboard manufacturer...and the option to set it right in bios is not available at all (Hidden). My Motherboard is a MERCURY PIH55z running on a LGA1156 Socket... Now your suspicion might be that i bought a pre-built PC...NOOO!!! I bought a Motherboard from Mercury itself through a dealer.... On the Usermanual it shows that there are all the OC options available but the bios version is older on the manual( on manual: Version 2.10.1208 with core version: 4.6.4.0!!!!!whereas on my bios screen:version 2.67 at core version :080015..... I literally am confused!!!!) So turbo boost is blocked and hidden, OC options are locked, Cpu multiplier is x22(133MHzx22=2.93GHz)
(should be at least possible upto x27(133x27=3.6Ghz turbo) ), bios version not confirmed whether it is v2.67 or v080015 !!!!!
So my request is to Unlock all those options on the AMIBios !!!!! it is locked somehow by Mercury but should be solved if the bios is Updated with a hacked version.... I tried all software and these are the results
1.Intel XTU : Bios version 080015, Turbo Boost Max:False,Turboboost clock
isable ,Advanced Tuning: Grey'd out no OC controls and turboboost shows disabled!!!!
2. Clock gen : No OC controls only shows clock speed..
3. SetFSB: FSB Multiplier avail but takes no effect at all on the CPU , Ram,etc
4. CPUZ: shows that the multiplier ranges from (9-27) but in bios it is possible max upto x22!!!
5. BIOS: As you know no OC options, Aitweaker, in Advanced Settings,!!!!
6. GPU overclocks well and easily but no luck at all with CPU , tried everything, problem is from BIOS itself so cant tweak using any software!!!!
