CPU clock multiplier topping out at 40 under stress

FUCK
ME

That explains so much... CPUZ shows no k. I don't have my order form from when I bought my parts over a year ago, but I have the excel spreadsheet I used for my parts and it's linked to a 3570 although it's written as i5-3570k. I remember thinking it was odd that the 3570k was suddenly $215 instead of $220 with no listed sales... Clearly, the lesson that we learned today is that you should always ask the seemingly obvious questions. And also you need to read every single letter of a component title, especially when it's the 11th letter of the alphabet.

Is there anything I can do to get the locked processor past 4.0? I bought it as well as an aftermarket cooler for the purpose of overclocking. However, even if it can't get above there, I'm satisfied because I at least know why it wasn't working before.

base clock but I've experienced randomn mem errors anything past 102ish and personally leave it at auto...

For non-k in my experience to get max turbo - C state settings must be:

C1E on
C3 report off
C6 report on
C package off

- example an i5-2500 with only C1E enabled - max turbo is 3.5, 99% of the time 3.4 - turn on C6 report - cpu will reach its max turbo as per design
- reproduced with a 3770... - chipsets B75 / H77 / Z77 - mobos: Asus / MSI
- any other combo limits turbo multiplier...
- long duration limits: 254 W / 32 t - leave short to auto

That sucks! Kinda surprised nobody caught it earlier.

Running at max turbo is still a decent free performance boost.
