bios overclock problems.

I've a problem for quite a while now when it comes to overclocking anything in the bios.

Basically i can reset bios set the cpu, RAM to correct speed and voltages i.e 4.6ghz at 1.22v, and the ram at 1866mhz. I can then play on the pc a bit and a couple of days later i might want to put the cpu to 4.8ghz for example. I go into the bios and set the target turbo boost to 4.8ghz and adjust the voltages accordingly. When i start the pc and run cpu-z it still shows up as 4.6ghz still.

similarly if i set it to 5ghz and dropped the speed to 4.6ghz and lowered the voltage it doesnt adjust it just blue screens. If i then put the voltages back up and run cpu-z it still shows up as 5ghz even though the target speed is 4.6ghz. All speedstep etc is disabled, PLL overvoltage enabled etc.

The only way to change it back again is to reset the bios via the mobo and adjust everything back to normal, this is very annoying being that i have to go into the case to reset everything. Its the same with the RAM if i were to adjust the speed and voltage and timing it would blue screen untill i set the values back to normal again even if i set it to stock speed.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.
 
How exactly are you overclocking again? Are you setting the turbo frequency, adjusting the multiplier or both?

Unless OCing has changed a lot since I last did it, use your multiplier to change the core speed. Bump your voltage as necessary. Don't use the turbo frequency.

If you want 4.8GHz. Set the multiplier to 48 in the bios. Make sure the turbo frequency is not higher than 48.
 
mmm I doubt that would even POST with the multiplier set to 100. Did you mean the base clock? For Intel the base clock is set to 100MHz.

Can you post a picture of your settings in the BIOS?
 
Like Salvage I think you must mean the base clock, I doubt the multiplier would even go that high, the multiplier should be roughly the same as your turbo i.e both at 45, you probably don`t even really need the turbo mode.

This video from Linus Tech Tips is pretty good and well explained - http://youtu.be/0CHs5_TdpXE

ahh yes, misunderstanding. The base clock is set to 100 and the multiplier is set to 46 to give 4.6ghz. Ive watched the video when i started overclocking and it worked fine. my pc works fine its just if i want to change any speeds in the bios i have to reset the bios first, which is annoying.
