Windows and OC...

Hello guys,

I've recently overclocked my i5-6600K to a stable 4.2 Ghz without messing with voltages, etc. (checked on hwmonitor, max voltage was 1.224V). It worked fine, until I've decided to format my PC, because I've has some issues with Windows. (not OC-Relevant)

After formatting, Windows doesn't recognize my OC anymore, it kinda blocks it.

I boot into Windows and the first thing I do, is to open HWmonitor to check frequencies. They are up to 4.2 Ghz and suddendly 2-3 seconds later they get locked up to 3.9 Ghz (max. stock turbo frequency).

Btw, I've tried to enable Speed Shift on Bios, but Windows doesn't see it as enabled. (So, I suppose, that Windows blocks UEFI settings?)

Has anybody experienced issues like that, how can I solve this, because it really triggers me. :D

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z270X Gaming K5 F9c Bios

@TofuHaroto

Hey, so the bios is the latest one and I've got the latest chipset firmware.
I cannot clear CMOS, as I've configured a RAID 0 and it would probably erase the volume. (Not ideal when you have a crappy connection) :D
