    Weird overclocking issue

    Trying to do a quick overclock to ~4.2ghz on my 2500k which shows fine in bios but as soon as i boot windows it's showing as stock speed and seems to run the same speed in benchmarks. I feel like there's something simple I'm missing but can't think what.

    I've checked for power saving settings in windows, made sure the right bios profile is selected but nothing seems to work.

    Edit: If I disable turbo boost in bios then it's still on in windows too. Might try pulling the bios battery quick and then replacing it.

    Edit 2: Looks like popping the bios battery out seemed to do the trick, is working fine now.

      Okay. ( ._.)

      It was really weird, it was stuck at 3.3 with turbo going to 3.7 but the ram was at the right speed (and the turbo clock speed wasn't moving around like it did without the battery) so it was keeping some of the settings into windows fine but not everything.

          Make sure Windows is set to high performance mode as well.

            That was actually one of the first things I thought might be doing it actually, wouldn't be unusual for windows to be screwing everything up.
