UEFI BIOS Changes Not Working

Hey guys, I'm trying to overclock my 3570k back to 4.2Ghz, and the changes I'm making in the BIOS aren't having any effect.

I've done it many times before, I usually just change my core multipliers to 42 and that's it. Runs fine. I removed my CPU about a week ago to clean my CPU after delidding (I left the black glue on and wanted to clean it), and after reinstalling it I was having heat issues because of a dodgy heatsink seating (changing the multipliers worked at this stage). But now nothing I change has any effect.

 

Any help?

 

I can't overclock because the changes aren't registering or something.

It's the Sabertooth. Something is up with the BIOS. Update it or flash back to an older version. I've had it happen to me before.

Thanks :) I'll try flashing an update.
