I don't overclock my i5 on a Gigabyte motherboard
-
My version is also the FC board revision 2, and I can raise both the Turbo and the CPU Ratio much more than 3.8, I think up to 5.7. But I'm not very good at tweaking the overclock -
It's that you have to read guides beforehand, chew over the theory before you start, don't just start touching things randomly.
[Guide] How to overclock a Core i5/i7 (S1155) Sandy Bridge

In the manual for my motherboard, there is a note about turbo ratios saying that it is only available for processors that support it. So my processor doesn't support it. It's strange, but okay. I think I'll give up and leave it at 3.6 ghz.

But have you read guides? The motherboard manual is NOT a guide :facepalm:

Elaphe tells you 38 not 3.8; and talks about the multiplier.
In the manual of my motherboard there is a note about the turbo ratios saying that it is only available for processors that support it. So it will be that my processor does not support it. It's strange, but okay. I think I'll give up and leave it at 3.6 ghz.
You two should read a little more, on the manufacturer's page of your processor, of your motherboard manufacturer, in a bunch of different guides, and the manual too of course, although it won't teach you how to overclock.
Regards.

Now it seems to me that what was preventing me from getting past Loading Operating System was the connected keyboard. I'm going to try to increase that BCLK/DMI/PEG frequency value, I don't know what it is and it's at 1000, if I remember correctly, to 1020 or something like that, and disconnect the PS2 keyboard, in case it's the culprit, and see if it starts up and runs stable, at least to leave it at 3800mhz. Is it bad to adjust that value? -

Your processor is a K and can be oced safely, even 4ghz is easy, take pictures of the bios options, see what you can touch but I think you have it on automatic and that's why it doesn't go up, with a K it's about pulling the multiplier and setting an appropriate vcore.
You shouldn't touch BCLK, DMI or any of that on this processor, maybe just increase VCCIO depending on the memory frequency, it's just about pulling the multiplier and setting the options to manual.
-
The problem is that the clock ratio sets 38 as the maximum. It won't let me change it to more. On the other hand, in this screen you can see the turbo ratios that are accessible to change them but to me all that comes out deactivated. There is no way to access them.

That seems like with CPU load it will go to 4700, you will have to change the turbo ratio to the 4 options to one lower, look at the link they gave you, copy it even if it's a 2500K then it will be a matter of adjusting vcore, maybe your CPU needs less than the 2500K.

Your micro is a K and can be overclocked safely, even 4ghz is doable. Take photos of the bios options, see what you can touch, but I think you have it on automatic and that's why it's not going up. With a K, you should use the multiplier and set an appropriate vcore.
You shouldn't touch BCLK, DMI, or anything like that on this micro, maybe just increase VCCIO depending on the memory frequency. It's just about using the multiplier and setting the options to manual.
You've just been given a clue, man. Remember that bios menus aren't always static. To make myself understood, in the bios if something is on Auto, the menus to configure that something manually and not in auto don't appear, and yet if you take it off Auto, the options to make your adjustments manually appear.
Sometimes you have to press a key to get more things to appear, like Ctrl+F1 in some gigabyte bios.
I don't know the latest from Intel, but in your case, either you have something on auto or some functionality of the micro has to be deactivated for the menu you want to appear, I guess.
But anyway, as long as there are people willing to take you by the hand from the basics, you won't need to read so much, you can already thank them.But for now, better not touch anything else but the multiplier, not even voltages, because other ways are more complex (bclk and etcs), and because it's better to know what you're touching
P.D.: fjavi asks for photos of your bios, not a photo taken from somewhere else with what you're looking for in your bios, :facepalm:

Let's see, I'm not so stupid as not to know how to put something in enabled if it's in auto or disabled. The question is that all the turbo ratio values appear in gray, both if they are in auto or if I put them in enabled. A photo:

And if you didn't know it, you wouldn't be foolish either, you were simply not aware, they asked you for a picture so it's worth a thousand words, and now that you've put it, we avoid misunderstandings.

Photos is plural, photos of all the menus please, I think it's already obvious to everyone that with turbo boost in manual it's not enough right, let's see if we figure out what else is needed with the photos of all the menus that you're going to post.
Honestly, I find it strange that this is taking so many turns with so many people who have an Ivy Bridge, as I already commented, I can't contribute much since I haven't had the pleasure of knowing it firsthand.

I insist, check your BIOS version. F4, F5 and F7 have introduced compatibility aspects with Ivy, think that you have a chipset designed for Sandy, it would not be strange that a BIOS update unlocked the K's multiplier.
Editing: Don't be a pain in the ass, you have dual BIOS xD

I haven't had any SB or even Ivy, and I haven't had a Gigabyte in a long time, the last ones were AM2 or 775, but the options should be similar and I might need to flash a bios that recognizes ivy because their motherboard was for SB, then as far as I remember, the hidden overclocking options for Gigabyte were for advanced memory configuration, I don't know if they have other hidden options now.
If I had one of those motherboards, I would probably catch on to the quick trick, but this way it's a bit of a shot in the dark, anyway, I see on the page of that motherboard that the bios that supports Ivy is the F7 and also the F8, the first thing I should do is update the bios to the latest and it will have all the options, because now maybe I see it as one without K, it works but not with all its options.
Downloads - GA-Z68AP-D3 (Rev. 1.0) - Z68 - Chipset Socket 1155 - Motherboards - GIGABYTEI also see two revisions on that motherboard, revision 2 seems like it could put a beta UEFI although maybe it's better to just put the latest bios and not risk it with Betas.

I think he said that his board is rev.2.0 and that it comes with the FC bios, so before the UA9 which is BETA, only the FD remains, which apparently only adds USB 3.0 compatibility.
Even so, it's worth trying that FD to see if it brings something else besides usb3.Try the FD to see what changes, and as they say the Dual Bios protects you from a hypothetical error, it would automatically restore the bios 1 with bios 2, and it's unlikely that will happen unless the power goes out or you put a pirated bios in.
I prefer to update through the same bios rather than doing it through software via the operating system.well wait, now I see that FeLiXSeV says he has the same board rev2.0 and with bios FC and he can …..besides the gigabite page says that the FC gives compatibility with Ivy Bridge.
There's something not quite right here. -
Ya por fin he podido hacerle fotos a todas las pantallas de la bios.

Not all captures were necessary, only those of OC and voltages.
Surely you don't change that .CPU Clock Ratio by pressing + or - on the numeric keypad?
-
I had that board and if I remember correctly, the Intel(R) turbo boost tech. was deactivated and the CPU Clock Ratio was at 45x without any problems (on a 2500k).

I had 2 gigabyte motherboards. One z68 and another p67. I was keeping myself informed in case I overclocked an ivy or to sell it. With the latest normal award bios (the old one). It lets you overclock an ivy, but you can only increase the multiplier up to the turbo. In this case to 3.8ghz, which then is 3.6ghz for the 4 cores.
If you want to do normal oc on that motherboard, you have to update to the uefi beta bios. If not, it won't let you. Forget about bclk, because on regular motherboards it will give you instability problems just by touching it. I know this from experience.
To install the uefi bios, it's not enough to update it from the bios. You have to create a bootable usb and install the bios that way. It won't let you from the same bios, which is logical, since you don't update, you directly replace.
Now I have an asrock p67 in the htpc and a z68 gen3 from asus in the main one. In the asus nothing is needed, because it comes directly compatible for ivy. For the asrock, I had to update the bios, with a sandy, but then without problems.
The difference lies in that the 2 motherboards have uefi bios and don't give any trouble with the overclocking of the ivies, for this same reason.
