Wondering if anyone can help, I have recently purchased:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/8pac...locked-quad-core-gaming-bundle-bu-050-as.html

I'm very much new to overclocking so please bear in mind this could be my ignorance but I dont think my CPU is overclocked, the max frequency I can get out of the CPU is its max turbo boost speed (this is also the speed showing under Target CPU in the BIOS) after testing with the Stress CPU test on CPU-Z and running Prime95, I have included a bunch of screenshots of the results under stress testing, am I reading this correctly? Also when I go into the Asus BIOS under AI Tweaker everything is set to auto :S I can promise I have amended nothing regarding the BIOS settings so its all as it arrived.

Am I right in thinking it's not overclocked? I really hope I'm wrong, I dont mind attempting to tweak it myself but the product description mentions about certain power saving options being disabled to reach the overclocked speed and that I know nothing about and wont feel confident messing with.

Someone better tell overclockers that then .... it's being sold as being overclocked to 4.4Ghz, I was under the impression there was a way around overlocking non-k processors otherwise I probably would have got a seperate motherboard and CPU bundle with a k processor

Looking at the product description, you need to follow the instructions in this thread to get it working.

Thanks, I'm willing to give this a go, the instructions seem straight forward but still a little annoyed its being sold as already overlocked unless I've missed something in the product description

EDIT: I have only just noticed the link to the instructions at the bottom of the product description, but to be honest I still would have assumed it was already setup

Thanks anyway, it's answered my question, it's not definately not overlocked :)
