Craig Hanley Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hi Tim, I have an I5 3670k(3.4ghz default), which I have overclocked to 4.0ghz. One setting I had to change in the bios was the legacy setting for USB keyboards and mouse so I could use both while in the bios. There should be a setting somewhere there to let you adjust the settings. I have an Asrock extreme 4 motherboard.....not sure what you have. Maybe that system setting memory profile needs to be changed from auto??...have a look, and let me see what you find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9000 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hi, I use a 3770K at 4.8 GhZ for more then 6 years-works perfekt. I have a Asus Pro Z77 and made the changes first in the ASUS-Software for testing before I made changes in BIOS. I use also a old Keyboard with a PS2 connector to change things in the BIOS.

I think "Legacy USB" must be enabled. If not, then use the Ps/2 socket instead. If your bios is telling you that the CPU needs to be unlocked, perhaps you do not after all have the "K" version, in which case you cannot overclock it. Take a look in the "Advanced Frequency Settings" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo32 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Legacy is enabled and I cant see any options for ps/2 socket option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9000 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I don´t think that I change a setting for PS2-it works only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 No, the Ps/2 socket is the little round one, normally purple for the keyboard and green for the mouse. As hal9000 says, they just work but you would need to shut down, plug the keyboard in and then reboot. Try the top or first USB 2 socket, that's usually the one for the keyboard. This seems to be your settings page, try clicking on the top Auto tab and see what options come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo32 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 The pic above is the back of my motherboard and where my hand is that is the keyboard and it's a USB connection and drivers are installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo32 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 And the cpu-z showing my PC info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I suppose you could try the keyboard in the first of the blue USB sockets, top left. I don't see the absence of PS/2 ports as forward progress but one of the USB sockets must perform the same function. What is the turbo speed of your processor?

timmo32 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Gday nick i fired up cpu-z and then fsx and the cpu speed went too 3.9 gigs so im guessing that was turbo mode,once fsx was loaded up the speed of the chip went down too 3.5,2.7 ect it was swinging in between those speeds,cheers for your replys and help on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Given the trouble you are having, and the notification that the CPU needs to be unlocked, do you think it might be better just to leave it? 3.9 is pretty respectable for running flight simulators. I have the manual for your motherboard now and this warning is not for nothing. Quote Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is dependent on your overall system configurations. Incorrectly doing overclock/overvoltage may result in damage to CPU, chipset, or memory and reduce the useful life of these components. This page is for advanced users only and we recommend you not to alter the default settings to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. (Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.)

timmo32 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Ive searched a couple of forums with my specs and some of the gamers have been getting these chips upto 5 gigs, and stable for years ,not that i want too go that far really maybe arround 4.6/4.8 gigs, overclocking any chip is a risk,tho running prime 95 stress test on the chip would prove a unstable overclock,i think if i get a minute free tommorow i will contact the tech about my key board issues and cpu lock and see what he says,i only want him too sort the keyboard and the bios options out tho,but thankyou very much for your support mate and the other guys input in this thread,fsx is running good so far thanks too orbx support,tho the autogen is at normal.

Nick Cooper Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I wonder now if there is no keyboard support for the bios, maybe progress also means that it can all be done with a mouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo32 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Yeah good question I will be sure too get an answer soon on this thanks nick its a strange one, I've never encountered this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hi Chris, I don't have a Gigabyte board, I use a ASUS board UEFI bios / i7 4770K, 16Gb 2400Mhz DDR3 DualChannel RAM, with AISuite III 4-way optimisation (Adaptive Auto overclock 4.6Ghz) within windows GUI, it manages all voltages and multipliers TPU then establishes the highest stable Overclock, it sets the X.M.P profile for RAM. It also adjusts fan speeds, EPU and Digi+Power settings. Adaptive Overclock means I am not constantly overclocked @4.6Ghz where only running lite program load ie web browsing word processing & IDLE state, returning to 800Mhz at idle for power saving. Then when required, say starting FSX, the CPU and Voltage will ramp up to achieve 4.6Ghz, otherwise the CPU is the same as yours 3.5Ghz - Max native Turbo 3.9Ghz (Motherboard TPU Switch set to disabled for overclock = 3.5GHz stock speed under normal load. But looking at your UEFI bios (M.I.T) settings picture, you are (running your 3770K @ your Highest Turbo Speed 3.9Ghz) you have not enabled your ExtremeMemoryProfile (X.M.P) possibly Profile1, (it says Disabled) this may be why you are unable to Overclock to what you had previously 4.6Ghz. You also have 1333Mhz RAM, is this in the correct Dual Channel Configuration (Dimm Slots on the motherboard). I used to have a Gigabyte Botherboard (intentional spelling mistake), my USB cable connected Keyboard & Mouse were connected to the back plate USB ports for some time with Legacy USB support, then they began alternatley to malfunction in bios settings page when ever I needed to access the bios. Fortunately I had an old PS2 keyboard & mouse and the PS2 ports on the backplate, (I notice your PC does not appear to have PS2 Ports on the pack panel). After a while trouble shooting I stumbled upon a topic about USB ports becoming disabled, the advise was to swap the Keyboard or mouse (whichever USB device was not being recognised to a spare front USB port, on the PC, (problem fixed) then disconnect PS2 K&M. After a while many months for no particular reason I tried the original USB K & M ports, both in the bios and Windows boot and logon/load, all was working again. I never solved the mystery why they stopped being recognised for use in bios. I have heard of these types of things happening with Wireless Mouse & Keyboard usually a flat battery or wireless connection issue reseating the dongle and replacing the batteries restores functionality.
