   Hi guys! So i have a asrock z77 pro3 mobo with an i7-2600k in it. But when ever i open up the bios i can't set the multiplier higher than 38. Fine even tho i set it to 38, in windows it says its running in 3,4ghz... Its kinda weird like its not saving the settings... so i got back to bios and it says its on a 38 multiplier. What could be wrong? Oh yes and i even dont have the XMP ram setting thing, like other people on youtube showing how to overclock CPU.Sorry for my bad english, trying my best. I'm new to cpu overclocking! :)

	Hello I just recently replaced my 3 1Tb Barracudas with 2 4Tb Barracudas. When I lit the fires and kicked the tires I have your same problem. ASRock Extreme 4 Z77, i7 2600k, H70 water cooler, 2 x 4gb corsair xmp. Never seen anything like it . PLL setting in bios is just gone as is my xmp option. I regularly ran a 48 multiplier. Even did a complete teardown and reseat but to no avail. Stayed up all night for 2 nights now and still no joy. Win 10 64 bit, P2.90 Bios rev. Most recent one. I know your pain bro. That 38 hurts.
