To start out, I had my CPU overclocked at 4.3 Mhz for about a year and the other day I had so many BSOD that i had to reinstall windows. Now, even after i've reset my bios to default and reinstalled all of my programs, the CPU will NOT overclock. Ive tried 10 different values in many categories. Bios recognizes the target Speed, but when I get into windows its still back at 3.8MHz. I first did it my own way, but I then followed step for step this guide here.

my build is:
Asus p8z77-v pro
i5-3570K
Corsair H80i water cooler ( dont know exact model anymore)
GTX 670 MSI
8gb 1600 MHZ ram
1050W corsair PSU
Do i need to mess with any windows settings? Also, for some reason on one of my attemps, I was able to get it to 3.9 MHZ but I still had it set to go to 4.3.
