I don't overclock my i5 on a Gigabyte motherboard

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

And if you didn't know it, you wouldn't be stupid either, you were simply just asked for a picture because it's worth a thousand words, and now that you've put it up, 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 can 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 has taken so many turns with so many people who have an Ivy Bridge, as I've already commented, I can't contribute much since I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing it firsthand.
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.

Won't that beta thing cause problems in other things?
Where can I find that specific bios?
How do I make the bootable USB? Do I need any software?
If the update fails, will I be left with a useless motherboard?Thank you very much.

The bios uefi is original from gigabyte and you have it on the corresponding page:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4015#bios
In the description it says that this bios must be updated only from within the bios with the utility that it has integrated, and not through software, which means that the procedure is the same as always.
The pendrive will come in handy for decompressing the file that you download from the page, although initially you could do it in the root of any connected rom drive.It also says that some functionalities are not compatible with the "uefi" bios architecture so it asks you to uninstall them before updating to this bios.
The specific risks that could be involved in updating to this bios since they have it marked as in beta phase? well, that would mainly be known by gigabyte I think, but it should be possible to go back to a previous bios or otherwise they would not have this uefi beta available to the public.
Salu2.

Hello. I have the same problem, my motherboard is the Z68XP-ud3 and the processor i5 3570k, I also can't raise the multiplier more than 38, I have the F10 BIOS.
Thanks
It's okay, just by updating the BIOS to UEFI it already lets you raise it.
