I have a 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz at ~1.26v (I know, not great) but no matter what voltage I use (even 1.31v) it wont run at 4.4GHz.
I have a Noctua NH-D14, and ambient room temps are quite low, so my max 24/7 voltage is around 1.29 (at 4.3GHz@1.31v i got temps of <91c with no throttling)
Have I made a mistake in my BIOS settings somewhere (posted below) that is a bottleneck, of have i just got a really bad chip? When i bought this chip i was hoping to reach around 4.6 at least.
Full system spec:
CPU: 4770K
Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
Mobo: ASUS ROG Maximus VI Formula
RAM: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 CL9
GPU: 2x Asus GTX 570 DCUII in SLI (and intel 4600)
OS Drive: 2x OCZ Agility 3 128 in Raid0
Other drives: 3tb, 2tb and a 1tb
CPU-Z:

I've disabled most of the power saving features since that's what was always recommended on other platforms, although I've heard it doesn't make much difference to Haswell.
So, is this just a really bad chip, or is there something I can change in my BIOS that can get me another 200MHz?
Thanks
