The CPU multi was set to 20 when I first booted up, and there is no way to set it to 'auto', you can only type in a number. However, I finally figured out how to do it. I loaded ' default settings' and only then did the EIST and Turbo lines appear. Then I set everything to the values I wanted, and still these two entries remained. So eventually I wound up with every setting just as I origianlly had it, only this time I had EIST and turbo. The bad news is that all my efforts were in vain cause in the end, EIST is broken on this board. With EIST set in bios, I see the CPU multi vary with load fron 12x to 21x just as it should, so I know the board is recognizing that EIST is enabled . But Vcore sits there always at the value I set in bios, doesn't drop by 15% or so when multi drops to 12x. And this is the case regardless of Bclk, so it isn't the deal where a feature works only if you downclock the CPU, as with Giga working only up to 139 Bclk. Other boards do EIST up to any Bclk, any voltage so this is a design flaw with the board.
