I'm trying to overclock a 2600K on the motherboard mentioned in the title.
However i'm unable to raise the clock frequency. It seems as if a custom multiplier has no effect on the clock frequency.
Here's what i tried:
SpeedStep has been deactivated. I also disabled C1 States (aswell as C3/C6). Disabled/enabled Turbo Boost. Set manual VCore at 1.2 for testing(Changing these settings works as reported by CPU-Z). Load Line Calibration is enabled. Tried setting the RAM at stock aswell as XMP(I know it probably doesn't do much). CMOS has been Reset.
Board is running the latest BIOS(F7).
The clock frequency still jumps around, as if SpeedStep is still enabled. Usually jumps between 1600-3800 MhZ.
As seen here, the frequency does not go above 3800 MhZ when stresstesting, even though the multiplier states is set at 45. Also, I have no clue why it reports it as 16-45:
Does anyone have a solution, or atleast a similar problem? Could the board be outright defective (RMA not available)?
Thank you in advance.
