Seems to fix the multiplier wall for people of 44-48x or so random, leaving you to OC to the chip's limit.

Boards with updated BIOS in the link:

GIGABYTE

- P67A-UD4 (F6x)
- P67A-UD5 (F5x)
- P67A-UD7 (F6x)


ASUS

- P8P67 Deluxe (1053)
- P8P67 Pro (1053)
- Maximus IV Extreme (0653)

INTEL

- DP67BG (1780)

Is anyone else with an Asus board getting the same problems that I am with newer BIOs? I have a P8P67 Pro.

0804:For some reason, when I flash to 0804 and start up, it's fine. But when I change anything to my desired settings (overclocking), the computer doesn't actually do it and instead uses OC Tuner as it turns off and on until the result is always 103 x 34. That's all that BIOs does for me.

new 1053 BIOs: This doesn't even work...the computer will boot with stock settings (nothing changed in BIOs) but if I change anything in BIOs to overclock with, the computer won't boot. It goes into a continuous loop at start up. All I see on the board are the LEDs flashing in the sequence and ending. The red LEDs go from graphics->RAM-> CPU ->graphics -> RAM -> CPU and crashes when it reaches CPU a second time. It then turns off and turns on -> repeat the loop. Nothing ever comes up on screen. It's frustrating to have to clear CMOs every time to boot trying to diagnose the problem. Is there any setting in BIOs that could be triggering this problem?

Hey just wondering if you ever solved this? I just ordered my 2600K + Asus P8P67 Pro + Civ 5 bundle...

Firstly i think those are CPU Limit

Deathelement, it might have something to do with the way you are flashing it. These boards use EFI and not bios now so maybe something is going wrong with your flashing program?
