Usual way to re-apply overclock not working :(

[Nova Swing]

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help with a small problem...
I seem to have lost my pre-installed overclock on the BF Commander pc I bought from ocuk a couple of years ago.
I followed the advice to re-apply it in the sticky above but it's not working, CPUID is giving my speed as 3.4 ghz but the overclock had it at 4.2. If it's of relevance the CPU is i7 2600k and mb is an Asus p8z68 gen 3.
Any advice greatly appreciated on this otherwise I guess I'll have to learn to overclock it myself!
Thanks

Will give that a try. Are you saying that CPUId will just give the clock speed at its current state as opposed to what it's maximum clock is?
Thanks for the advice though, will have a look in the morning.

Thanks Stulid, i checked running BF 4 in a window and the clock speeds are fine. They were going up to the max OC, so that's good.
