First you should make sure your motherboard has the most up to date bios. Then you should set the bios settings back to stock. You don't need to disable/enable anything to hit 4Ghz (40). Just click advanced oc and change the multi to 40 and press enter..

Are you sure you have the 3570k and not the non-k version?

You're not adjusting the turbo multiplier are you? You should just disable turbo and then run the CPU Ratio/Multiplier up a bit. It sounds like you're limited because of the turbo multiplier and not the actual chips multiplier.

Ho would he be limited by that? I have same cpu and I just put the turbo multi at 45 and that was it.
