(I only noticed this as I wanted to try overclock which I did try but made no difference)

I feel like I'm being stupid I have an I7-3770k and its constantly at 1600mhz on cpuz it won't go above the idle I've checked my pc is on high performance and turned off EIST.

I did buy this pc "new" after it had been built by someone (last year) else I can see they've tried to overclock it to 5ghz on a profile on the bios have they damaged the processor?

Pc spec:

I7-3770k
Gigabyte z77x-UPZ
Nvidia Titan 6gb
16gb Kingston hyperx ram (1600mhz)
900w antec power supply

Corsair 600T
Cooler master V6 GT

Any help would be awesome
 
Apparently on my motherboard there is a ln2 mode which will drop a frequency to 1600mhz il toggle the switch on it see if it fixes it
