Today I finally managed to get windows to recognise the processors instead of identifying them as 'Unknown Devices'.

I did it by uninstalling the processors, then restarting. However, I then restarted again and the BIOS failed to load, so it loaded the original F2 BIOS.

Windows booted, I then updated the BIOS to F6 again...
But now anyway changes on the CPU speed that i make in the BIOS are discarded as soon as windows loads. The CPU is always stock speed now, no matter what I do in the BIOS.
I have updated the BIOS 3 times (tried from a file, and directly from server), but still no changes.

It's as if when windows loads, windows loads the standard processor speeds with it :S

Any ideas?
 
i'm using CPU-Z, and it displays the standard speeds. Voltage changes when i change it in BIOS, but not CPU speeds or memory speeds.

It was changing fine before i made those ammendments to the processor drivers in windows as stated in the first post. :S
 
Oh and, Gigabyte do have an overclocking utility which can be used in Windows but I don't have it installed...
I could use that program instead but i'd much prefer to use BIOS to be honest :(
 
Right I didn't want to fiddle with the manual CMOS reset on the board, so I went into the BIOS, selected 'Load CMOS from BIOS', loaded the default, then loaded optimized settings, then went back into the bios, changed to the overclock, and it now seems to be working!
Thanks for the help
