Hi
I just noticed my MB was not running the latest Bios version so i updated using the update tool in the bios its self and everything has worked fine the PC is running good.
of coarse my OC has been reset to original setting but i expected that.

the thing is i can not see the options any more to change the CPU multiplyer or the cache number so i can not put my OC back in, i still have Vcore voltage and CPU input voltage i can change as before that work ok.

my MB H97m Pro4 i was updating from 1.50 to version 2 of the bios.

i have searched the site and only found the info to turn the turbo feature to disable that will uncover the multiplyer and cache OC boxs but i dont see any turbo feature i am baffled?.

thank you for any help in advance.

i5 4690K
windows 7 64 bit

EDIT

i just fond this....copy and paste.......

I5-4690K- This CPU is the best i5. It offers overclocking unlike the 4690. This CPU is the best CPU you can get if you are just gaming and want to overclock. It will work on H97 and other chipsets but it will not be able to overclock.

i have been using my H97 pro4 for a year with my OC i5 perfect but now with the latest Bios update have asrock taken are OC away from us i am confussed?.

The problem is the BIOS 2.0, because intel added the microcode to lock the function. More info from this thread. Like they said downgraded the BIOS to 1.9 or earlier one. Sorry. that is why we recommend to don't update the BIOS if the PC runs fine, if you want to update the BIOS only the pc has problem.

i have been thinking along the same lines.
what if i use the jumper on my MB to reset the bios wont that go back to 1.50 that i had before and i hope have my OC ability back?.
or i have the CD that came with my MB that contains the driver etc but out of date of coarse.

thanks lads for the info very greatful.

well what a sneaky trick to ruin your PC hey i never expected that, i always thought keeping everything up to date as possible was the best performance and sensible thing to do.
i will think again now lol.

reedo 43 & cin 19 your a star thats worked a treat :)

i am now running of 1.90 and all my OC box's are now showing again and i have my 4.4Ghz dialed back in and working sweet.
so even after all the mither it was worth it because i did get to update my bios from 1.50 to 1.90 jobs a good'un.
just had a quick 20min blast on project cars and everything seems to be good temp wise and stable, dare i ask are my drivers still ok after clearing by cmos and back dating my bios?.

thanks again lads you helped loads tonight.

Mark :)
