I had a Asus p67 Pro ages ago then the sata fault came about so I decided to send it back and get the new gigabyte revision instead. I was able to overclock the asus when I had it to 4.5ghz and it was stable.
I have had the gigabyte board for months now but have only just tried to overclock it now, I go to the Bios and change the CPU mutliplyer to x45 and I exit it, boot up windows. Do something which uses multithreading so I get the 4.5 to show up in CPUZ but I know for a fact it's doing it exactly at the same speed as 3.4ghz. Do I need to change some other setting in the bios as well? I used easy tune 6 but the most I can overclock using that is 4.1 and it actually is running at 4.1 ghz (unlike when I change the cpu multiplyer in the bios).Thanks for any help.
