I previously had this setup stable at4.5 @ 1.25. Since then I have updated the bios to 3302. I'm one of those guys that always has to have the latest drivers/bios/whatever. But now using the EXACT same settings as before when it was stable, i get no overclock whatsoever. I followed several other guides as well and no OC. I do, however, get a slight overclock when I choose "Performance" in the bios EZ mode, as opposed to choosing the normal or power saving parameters. However this only ups the speed to 3.4. When I load into windows with my own manual overclock settings CPUz shows 3.3. If I enable EIST in bios I can see it changed from 1.6 to 3.3 when needed. This is very frustrating. I have disabled all of the C1, C3, and C6 reports and suggested and nothing. Not sure what to do next as I'm not sure how to safely downgrade my BIOS version without fear of bricking the mobo. Any suggestions? Thanks.
