IP35-E refuses to acknowledge overclock :(

So I figured I would play around a little and find out what my CPU would do. Well, I did some playing around and used SoftMenu to alter the FSB of my C2D E4300. Lo and behold, I step little by little until I get to 3ghz on stock volts! I begin to question the validity of this overclock and download CPU-Z. Well, even though I used softmenu to alter the FSB, CPU-Z is reporting stock speeds. I dropped the FSB back down to something more reasonable and disabled C1E and EIST. Still reporting stock speeds.

Any ideas? I'm running Vista 32.

edit: also, the BIOS will report the overclocked speed.


edit: I cleared the CMOS and dropped the multi to 8x, and for some reason this helped. It was probably clearing the CMOS though... WEIRD!
 
Did you look at CPU-Z while the CPU was under load? Try Prime/Orthos or some other stress tester, and then look. You may still be seeing the speedstep speeds (even though you disabled it).
 
What bios version are you running? Bios V14, and maybe V15, I haven't tried 15 yet, will set your CPU back to stock speed when you power down, and back up. For now until Abit gets their sh*t together I'm sticking with V12.
 
Yes I did test it under load, and I upped the multi back to 9 so I think the CMOS clear did it.

Sitting nicely at 2.83 and stock volts ATM 🙂
