Z97-A/USB3.1 not pushing OC... 4690k

Hello I'm curious why the heck is my 4690k not overclocking to 4.9GHz at 1.33v nor 4.7GHz at 1.25v... I use to be able to do it with my Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3 but since it died... Oops shocked it... I bought a ASUS Z97-A/USB3.1

 

Now I need to push the voltage to 1.37v in order to get a 4.7GHz OC and my motherboard won't allow it I also need to increase the power delivery settings or it won't even run stable... And the OC wasn't across all cores or it will BOSD...

 

Why isn't my CPU OC to the original setting... I had it set before i killed my motherboard... 

 

Or is it me being stupid? IDK...

V droop or LLC probably. also getting an I5 4690K to 4.9GHz is impressive, mine will do it but the thermals run away quickly so i keep it at 4.7GHz

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

well the main thing that differs from motherboard to motherboard is the VRM and the how agressive the LLC is. maybe it was more agressive on your old board or something, check the LLC profile and try it with them, just make sure it dosent spike your CPU voltage to 1.4V or higher
