So I was overclocking my i5-3570 to 3.8ghz, But when running cpu-z with speedstep disabled,
It's only 3,591.43Mhz, but I'm aiming for 3.8Ghz (max turbo speed), Does anyone here know what the problem might be, Or does anyone have experience using a Asrock H61M-VG3 Motherboard?

would appreciate any help given.

The integrated video should not affect the OC stability of your system. Please provide the info I requested earlier and you are likely to get more feedback with your problem.

You wait. Or, you can edit your original post to provide more information that will allow other users to have more to work with regarding your question(s).

A complete listing of your system's components (the specs) would be useful, as well as the version of Windows you are using.

Also, other than the CPU, are you OCing the GPU or memory? What are your CPU and GPU operating temperatures at idle and under load?

Thank you for your reply,
I was looking in the bios this morning, And saw my integrated graphics uses some of my ram, I have no GPU, so is it possible it's the integrated graphics that use 0.2GHZ?

gpu and memory is at default, cpu on idle is 29*C and full load 52*C

You have 2 things working against you. Your mobo really isn't designed for overclocking (even though the tools available would imply it is) and you have a locked CPU. Did you disable SpeedStep in the BIOS or via the Asrock Extreme Tuning Utility?

Bios, Overclocking trough bios usually to, but just used that utility to show you i overclocked to 3.8

and i know my board is not designed for overclocking, but i should be able to turbo up to 3.8

yesyes lol
I'm buying a new mobo within a few days, this was more for temporary usage, but i found it odd i couldn't oc higher then 3.6, I'm buying a asus p8z77-i deluxe so overclocking on that should be fine, i know a way to oc to 4.3ghz with locked cpus on asus z77 chipset mobos.

Thanks for your help :)
