Hey i have an intel i5 3350p 3,1 - 3,3 Ghz
I overclocked it up to 4,1 Ghz but it goes never over the 3,5 ghz mark. why? :(

System:
Motherboard: msi z77a-g43 (With OC Genie II enabled)
Graphicscard: EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0 (Overclocked auto. per OC Genie II)
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB 1,6 Ghz (Overclocked auto. per OC Genie II)
CPU: Intel i5 3350p 3,1 - 3,3 Ghz (Overclocked auto. per OC Genie II)

Nope, to overclock you need a K CPU.
