GRR this is really annoying me. I'm having the same niggle as before, where I can't seem to get over 4.5ghz at any sort of stability without knocking up the voltage massively, which seems stupid, and then never being able to keep it an any overclock at all after getting it overclocked!! It just drops down to 3.3-3.6ghz!! 
Basically i have had the problem before. It doesn't stay OC'ed after booting, it does for a few minutes but then it just drops down in speeds. The stranger thing is that it doesn't drop down to stock, the multiplier jumps between 34 and 36 or 37.
I have Turbo Boost disabled, i use Load Level 5 or 6 and the volts to get to 4.5ghz are easy enough (1.39-1.4v) but i should be able to get it with lower volts! and it should stay up there
i managed to get it to 5.1ghz once by putting the load line to 10 and having the voltage on auto (mistake, once I checked CPU-Z it said the volts were at 1.65) and of course it didn't stay there.... it dropped down before i shut down!
Any suggestions as to how I can fix it dropping down, or how i can get the overclock higher (want to fix the dropping first ideally...)? Spec is as follows:
Gigabyte Z68-UD4-B3
Corsair H70
Core i5 2500K
OCZ 1000W PSU
MSI Radeon 6950 Twin Frozr Edition II
I bought the H70 to get some serious overclocking done so it does cheese me off a little!
