[Solved]Upgraded system but getting strange benchmark results

[Tequila]

Hi all,

EDIT: Turns out there was something fishy with my HD. It was behaving a bit wierd the past few days and finally crashed and got a bunch of errors. I had a clone from a week back and replaced it. Now I get the results I expect when I OC vs not.

I finally upgraded my i5-760 to an i7-4770K today. Everything went smoothly but running a few benchmarks really has my head scratching.

When I run them at base clock of 3.5Ghz and then at 4.2Ghz there is no difference. The really wierd thing is when I bump up to 4.2Ghz that cpu-z is showing the cpu at 4.2Ghz but the benchmarks say 3.5Ghz.

Here are a couple screenshots to show what I mean:





Normally when I OC the benchmarks will report what the speed the cpu is running at. I.e Unigene Heaven should be saying the true frequency in the parenthesis but it still says 3.5Ghz. Even more bizzare is that the Heaven benchmark is worse than my previous i5-760@3.6ghz.

Has anyone ever seen this before? Have no idea what is going on.

New System parts are as follow:
Asus Maximus VI Hero
i7-4770K 3.5Ghz
Corsair Air 540
Corsair Vengeance DDR3-2400 16gb
Enermax Black Tornado cpu cooler
Same vid cards and PSU as in sig
Windows 8.1 pro 64-bit

System temps are really good at idle and load.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

EDIT: I thought maybe something was wrong with cpu-z but the Asus AISuite shows clock at 4.2Ghz as well.

I would disregard the Heaven benchmark for now because that's a GPU benchmark and will only serve to muddy the waters. What are your Cinebench scores (stock, OC, and i5 760)?
