3570k Won't Overclock

[bacosta1993]

It stays stuck at 3.8ghz.

Asus p8z77-v Pro motherboard

 

I had it overclocked to 4.4ghz and decided to lower the frequency to 4ghz because i did not like the temps but now it is stuck at 3.8ghz and the only thing that changes is the voltage.

 

Any help is appreciated.

I'm going through the same thing with my board. Personally, I'm just replacing it, but you can try re-writing the BIOS, but the issue may end up coming back later.

Damn :(

The reason i went with Asus was for peace of mind. Now I am stuck with an unlocked processor at stock speeds. Hopefully someone can figure something out.

what did you change when you changed the oveclock down to 4,0?

I changed the voltage down to 1.2. I have tried increasing the voltage and decreasing but i am still stuck at 3.8ghz

Can you change the Multiplier?

I'm stuck at 4.2GHz. Even though my BIOS will technically say 4400MHz, but CPU-Z and CoreTemp will say 4.2GHz.

I tried changing it to 34 which is stock but it stays at 38

I am using the same programs. Could it be a problem with cpu-z ? or is it the motherboard ?

Okay I got it working now. What I did was reset the settings to default on the simple bios and then switched to the advanced settings to overclock. I have no idea why resetting to default on the advance portion of the bios had no affect on any settings but i got my 3570k overclocked now.
