I get some occassional peaks at 4.6 , but only for a couple of seconds every minute. That's on a extreme4 gen3, bios 1.00 or 1.10 doesn't make a difference. My GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 for all its shortcomings (same piece of cpu , same cooler, same case, same everything) never had that problem, kept going on that frequency without trouble. Any advice? Am I doing something wrong? I'm using cpu-z and argus monitor to check what's going on. The same happens under linx too, albeit the speed drop is lower -> 4.1ghz. Also, temps never exceed 65c , so I fail to understand why even thermal throttling should be an issue which is already disabled, so.... Plz help!

You need to set your Min and Max Turbo settings higher mate
