Unlocked I3, but no multiplier option in BIOS

[KD5ZXG]

Also tried intel XMU utility from Windows, but offers no higher multipler than 42x.
42x is dead stock, so what gives with an unlocked K that can only go down???

I read 5GHz is not difficult, is that entirely BCLK, or the multiplier will go further
than XMU is offering? What do I need to be using to adjust this from Windows?

Its the new ASRock mining board with 13 slots, and has every option under the
sun to turn off thermal protections and other crazy stuff, but unlocked multiplier
adjustments are not there, or slightly too well hidden.

what exact cpu and model motherboard?

 

[Shintai]

Its not a Z series board I assume.

i3 Unlocked 7350K 4.2GHz LGA1151

IIRC, that 13 slot ASrock board is a B series chipset, and those do not allow CPU multiplier overclocking.

EDIT: H series, same deal.

time for new mobo it seems.

Waste of 50 extra bucks for useless unlock.
Switch things around next project.

So, its going to be same problem on 19 slot ASUS B250 Expert Miner?
