Hey All,

I'm having a weird issue overclocking my i7-3770k on an Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe. I'm able to take it the CPU Ratio to 45 without stability issues. When I take it higher than that, it doesn't seem to do anything. Task Manager still reads the processor @4.5, and so does HWMonitor. I tried 47 multiplier, same effect. Am I missing something in my BIOS? I have the voltage set to manual @ 1.35 (I was going to take it lower once I get the clock speed I want).

I recall something like this being an issue with select Ivy Bridge CPUs, this method was how I solved it with my 2700k.
If it still shows up as 4.5GHz its either a voltage issue, or you might need to contact intel about it, not quite sure.
Is your motherboard on the latest BIOS?
