Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z OC problem?

[.ice]

Hello all,

I just built myself a quite nice rig last night after getting all the parts delivered and spent all night putting it together and configuring it/updates.

Specs:

BIOS Version 3203

Windows 7 Ultimate x64

ASUS MAXIMUS IV Extreme-z

Intel i7-2700k @3500MHz stock

PNY 8800GT 512MB (bought it so I can have something for a couple months before gk110 comes out)

Corsair Dominator GT 4x4GB @2133MHz

Intel SSD 520-series 120GB

Corsair H100 w/4xNoctua N-F12's in push-pull config

The case is a Cooler Master Storm Trooper with 5 other Noctua P-12's and 1xP-14

So far so good, everything's stable and I'm on the latest bios.

So I want to overclock this cpu to around 4.8GHz or in that range, and I go and try to do so in the bios but I've had no luck so far.

I do NOT want Intel SpeedStep nor Intel Turbo at all. I just want a custom OC with no turbo whatsoever or speedstep. Can this be done in this board and this cpu?

I've taken some screenshots from the bios and cpuz and I've uploaded them. You can clearly see that the target cpu speed is set at 3900MHZ and that still doesn't "take effect" when I reboot and only shows at stock clocks. Am I doing something wrong? Please take a look at the detailed ss's and let me know. I do not know what else I can change for this to work without turbo & speedstep.

Any help is appreciated, thanks for reading.

Have you stress tested using prime95 or a similar program. You will only see 3.9GHz under load and there should be an option in the BIOS that allows you to turn off speed step.

Hello, thank you for your reply.

Yes, there is an option to turn speed step off, and that's shown in the screenshots I've provided. In there I was trying to get 3.9GHz without turbo or speed step on.

Is there an option called CPU PLL Voltage that you can see. I can't remember what it's for but I have it disabled. Try that and see what you get.
