Just built my machine and thought I was ready to overclock and run some stress tests today, but it simply will not allow me to overclock.
All the overclocking guides I've read online have said change 2 things and I'm golden, and the main reason I went MSI was because of how they're geared for overclocking:
My Adjust CPU Ratio will not change and says Auto. I've unplugged and cleared my CMOS twice, and this didn't fix the problem: still auto.
Help!
(i built this to OC, 4670k, MSI g45, with a Corsair H110 liquid cooler, msi 760 OC edition)

I turned off turbo and speed step and the auto is still fixed. It's not in brackets like the others meaning there is not a drop down menu behind it.
Only [auto] options I can change:
CPU base clock strap
CPU PCIE PLL
Filter PLL
But not one of these have been altered in other over clock guides. So did I get a bad mobo or chip?

its not locked? you can adjust ''[AUTO]'' with 'enter' and adjust ''auto'' with +/-Dude, thank you! I had the same issue as OP, thinking that my board must've been going bad on me because I figure that non-bracketed 'auto' was not changeable. I clicked +/-, lo and behold, it changes! Silly me. Silly us (me and OP). I was at my wit's end with the board, which has been a dream since June. Now off to some OC'ing!
Of course, if the OC Genie works, the board has to be fine, in terms of manual OC'ing.

Unfortunately this is something that could have been taken care of by referring to the manual instead of having wasted time. Not an issue of quality control as you enjoy saying Tradesman, its an issue of user error ( or not knowing). These values can simply be keyed in while the proper field is selected.

Believe it was stated by OP the mobo was bad
was returned and the new one was fine - many bad mobos are due to poor QC, -

dont turn off turbo boost, as the turbo rate you overlocking.
on my asus z87 4670k I did this.
set max turbo multiplier to what I wanted in my case 43.
set an adaptive voltage offset, iI set 0.05.
thats it.
The end result is.
same idle clocks.
same idle voltage.
same full speed clocks and voltage (this is rarel used tho)
higher turbo clocks
higher turbo voltage
this is what you want, overclocking on haswell is a doddle compared to 1st gen i5 and older.
granted I am a noob, but this process worked fine for me after I seen a asus rep do it in a video.
If your multiplier is stuck on auto then something is amiss, either your chip isnt a K or your bios might be buggy or something.

I was having the same problem on a GD65 Gaming. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I could not adjust the CPU Ratio. I happen to be using a Corsair K65 mechanical keyboard (no numberpad). Guess I need to hook up the old Logitech...press the space bar to adjust the cpu ratio
