I have a g3258 and Z97 MoBo.
i overclocked it to 4.0GHz with the optimal settings from the motherboard.It was downclocking when idle and everything,but one day it stopped!
I stopped all programs running and the cpu usage was 0%,and it stays at 4.0GHz.
HELP :D|

Edit:I went to the Bios and set the default settings and it still dont downclock!!
 
Solution
Did you activate ''performance mode'' in the Windows power options? That's what the mode does, it makes the CPU run at full clock all the time.
