I am trying to OC a AMD Phenom II x6 1055T to 3.6-3.8 GHz on a ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO mobo. I have changed

CPU Overclocking: Manual
CPU Ratio: 14
Amd Turbo Core Tech: Disabled
CPU/HT Reference Clock 272 (to achieve a 3.6Ghz OC)
DRAm Freq: 1376
CPU/NB Fre: 2064
HT Link Spedd 2064

CPU volt: 1.38
DRAM volt 1.5

The system boots fine into windows but notice when i load CPU-Z that its reporting the clock speed is at 3.2Ghz. When i quit windows and go back to the bios the clock speed is indeed 3.2ghz despite me before changing to 3.6 and saving. Any ideas why is is happening?, i have the latest BIOS for the mobo also.

The system specs are:

Phenom II x6 1055T
Mushkin Silverline DDR3 1333. 9-9-9-24 1.5v dual memory 4GB
Asus M4A88TD-V EVO mobo
Corsair CX600 PSU
AMD 6870 1GB GPU
 
i think it is going into failsafe mode maybe. my athlon 64 does that if i set the reference clock higher than 240mhz. i'm not sure what it is though. i have a feeling its something to do with the ram not being able to hold that speed on those timings you could try loosening them a bit or maybe try 1.55v?
