Do you by any chance run it of the Asus motherboard?
Disable if you have it/Turbo/C1E/EIST/C3/C6

Asus (and by extension - Asrock) have the same issue. I just read about it in the recent Custom PC magasine, that they overclock by pushing the Turbo Boost instead of more traditional multiplier. This means potential instability, due to the big jumps. Advice was to increase the voltage and see what happens, but it might just be that you will have to settle down for the lower overclock, just so that the gap between maximum on 100% load in the idle speed won't be that great.

If that is the Z77 extreme 4, then you pretty much wasted the money on that board. Support is horrible, the BIOS is confusing, and most of all it is not a quality unit.
As said, that board overclocks only the turbo. Never got that far on mine before it broke, but on my H61DE/S3, I can disable turbo, but it will lock the multiplier. You can not have it both ways with a ASrock unit.

I have the Z77 Extreme 4 awesome board so far. On topic:
Disable SpeedStep and C1E. The latter is under Advanced Cpu options in UEFi if recall correctly. I just went to the same thing OP os going through yesterday.
@wolfe : its not BIOS its UEFI now. And I can disable Turbo and unlock the multiplier just fine.

If you want to OC , turbo has to be enabled. On my board anyways.
Speedstep and C1E disabled; no luck

Go into windows power options and turn it to performance?
No help

You CAN NOT disable speedstep on Asus based mobos (Asrock is asus - sort of). Even if you do, it's still going to be on.

Let me retract and say that we both are right technically. The board is picky. Don't know what I did different last time, but it booted fine this time using teh 480, 2600k and 212 evo. Hooking up my HDD to see if I can save the install.
Anyway to the both right thing. If you set the multiplier to All Core it forces the turbo to on. If you set it to per core you can disable it.
