where can i find the power saving option? and its not only the 3.5GHz in cpu-z but even in the ai suite as soon as as hit back it goes back to 800GHz per core

Yes yes when it is in power saving it runs the cores at very low frequencies to use less power, it is a bios option so all application will show the same thing.
Now I can't tell you where the feature is, I'm on a completely different platform so the bios (uefi in your case) will be different than mine, using google is the least you can do at this point, I already pointed you in the right direction.

You want to find the Intel SpeedStep setting in your BIOS and disable it. That'll keep the CPU at 4.4GHz in your case all the time.
I'd leave it on if I were you, the CPU goes into a lower power mode when idle, which is always welcome.
Your motherboards manual is here:

See page 110, if you can't find the setting.

i checked everywhere on the BIOS and i couldnt find any intel speedstep, the settings i put for overclocking in my bios was still there and not gone to default though
Try running the system under load with OCCT and then it should go up to 4.4GHz.
If you look at the rance for the multiplyer it's saying that the chip will go up to 4.4GHz, you just need to stress it so it will?
Another thing, did you set the cpu volts manually or are they still on auto?

its on auto, i tried linu's overclocking guide
it's the same set up as mine except i have 2 780tis and corsair vengeance 8gb ram, which can go upto 1333MHz but always stays at 600MHz

If that's the memory speed that is reported in CPUZ, double it to get the actual speed it's running at.
Have you tried stressing the CPU yet to if the clock speed jumps up?

huhhhh.. what's going on here?

What exactly have you changed so far? Was the cpu running at it's max turbo before you started to overclock?

is my cpu at 800MHz?
According to OCCT yes, try CPUZ as sometimes OCCT doesn't read it right. Is your BIOS up to date?

BIOS is very much up to date and cpu-z is showing the exact same thing :/
Try resetting the CMOS and starting again. Maybe try and follow TTL's guide this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBEeXajbG2o
(It says for 1155 but will be just the same for 1150)

Ok everything is back to default but still at 800MHz! im gonna try TTL's guide but isn't mine supposed to be at 3.5GHz
Did you reset the CMOS using the button/jumper on the motherboard? Is that under load still?

ok the bios is rest , there was no cmos switch i checked all over the motherboard and the manual, but i tried downloading intel extreme tuning utility and it shows up empty on the manual tuning page and processor frequency is at 0.00GHz ?

after the second occt test this is what i got and its kinda freaky

There should be a button on the rear I/O section of the board for you to reset the CMOS. It looks like a semicircular arrow pointing anti-clockwise
Maybe try updating the BIOS again and then reset the CMOS then boot and select optimized defaults then see what happens. Other than that i'm out of suggestions
