I just installed windows 8 this morning and re-applied my overclock settings.
The BIOS clearly shows my 2500k is at 4.4ghz in the MIT window, but when I boot into Win8 both CPU-Z and Openhardware monitor show the frequency switching between a range of values from 1.6-3.7 ghz. The frequency never goes higher than 3.7ghz.
In the BIOS I've disabled C1, C3/C6, EIST, Ratio Changes in OS, Thermal Monitor etc. so they shouldn't interfere.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing/have a fix?
EDIT: It looks like a problem with CPU-Z reporting. I just saw the frequency spike through 7.6ghz for no discernible reason.
