From MSI and a feedback in newegg for this MOBO:/

"According to MSI site, The 2500k is not supported. It will boot up and run great, but you can't overclock it!!! It will always stay at 3.3ghz. I have EIST, Turbo Boost, Power Technology, and Overspeed protection disabled. CPUz shows multiplier 33, but the BIOS says 40. Hope BIOS update will fix this. I never would have thought that this board would not support this processor."

Every product on newegg has a few weird reviews. Personally, I have had several of these. No problem at all.
