I've recently picked a new processor and motherboard (i5-7600k and the gigabyte gaming k5), and I have had some trouble setting an overclock that will work. (Using presets in the Bios and setting my own) CPU-Z reads the proper multiplier, (I have set mine to max of 44 or 4400 MHz) but the core speed never passes the stock turbo speed of 4200 MHz.
Ive tried multiple hardware monitors and they all read the same. I've also used EasyTune to give an overclock and it works, but I rather use the bios than software. And I wonder why EasyTune works but the bios overclock does not.

System Specs
i5-7600k
Gigabyte Gaming K5
Hyper 212 EVO
RX 380
650W Gold PSU
OS: Windows 10

I FIGURED IT OUT!!! I'm so happy, the dumb bloatware that is app center, along with EasyTune was causing this!!!! I DO NOT and will not EVER recommend anyone to ever download them! Uninstall now while you have the chance!
