Strange overclock problem

I've overclocked my 5960X to 4.6GHz on all 8 cores with HPT on, but my problem is that I've overclocked in the Bios and every settings in the bios are saved, but when I entered Windows, it's actually not overclocked, I can't explain that, every settings in the Bios are set to the overclock settings.

 

I've tried increasing the coere voltage and even the PSU, but no hope.

 

Problem is that every single time it's on stock CPU clock and ram frequency is also at stock

a few comments. one: is this under load? or is it under clocking to conserve power and reduce heat? 

two: cable management bro. you have a nice system, but that just kills it. 

three: do yourself a favor and set your xmp profiles so that yor ram will run at the speed you bought it at.

CPU-z normally shows the maximum frequency including when the CPU is idling.

yeah, normally. i remember when i first built my pc the program wouldnt detect it properly, but my scores before and after oc in cinebench told me otherwise. just trying to think of why it could have a problem.

Same here. The OP's motherboard is almost as screwy as my P5Q Deluxe.

Its got issues that have no explanation, and shouldn't be happening at all.

The native frequency of my RAM is 2400MHz, I already set it to 2400 manually n my CPU n RAM overclock actually work and stable for the last 1 yr, i just don't know y it suddenly stop working, no matter wt I've changed in the Bios, it's always saved but won't really apply.

 

I'm frustrated, every time when I reboot into Bios, those overclock settings r indeed there, but it never apply, every time when I reboot into Windows, all my CPU n RAM settings r at stock, although it's overclocked in the Bios

Anyone? 

Is there a performance increase when you go between stock speeds and this dubious overclock? If there is then it is doing something, but it's not being picked up correctly by windows or CPU-z.

Actually it doesn't. It shows current speed. You can see that from screenshot where volts are under what is even automatic for stock clocks.

Can you run some stress test and screenshot CPU-Z from there? Also, how do you know that RAM isn't running at set MHz?

As in the multiplier.

I don't understand your point. You just said that CPU-Z shows max speeds all the time. Which it doesn't. It shows current speeds. If one wants to see max speeds all the time or that CPU runs with max speeds all the time, its changed from power savings in BIOS settings.

The maximum speed=multiplier x bus speed. Ergo, if it wasn't stock the limit would be 46 not 33.

Well, from pics its hard to say what kind of load it going on. So its not idle, but not full load either.

I already tried, Cinebench scores same as any other 5960X, but when I overclock it with Ai Suite, it's successful n my Cinebench score is the overclocked score, 500 pts more than stock, but because it's overclocked through software, it is not wt I want, I wanna overclock with BIOS, like I usually does

Weird. Have you tried updating the bios or anything like that? Sounds like a pain in the ass but resetting the bios to deafault then doing it all again might be helpful.
