I just recently purchased a 5820K, X99 Extreme 11 motherboard, and 32GB of DDR4-3000 RAM (4x8GB sticks).
 
When I go into the UEFI and change the CPU multiplier to manual, and set it to a value, the computer does not boot with the new saved multi, it retains the stock multi of 33. It says clearly at the top of the screen in the UEFI the new target frequency in yellow, and I of course save and exit.
 
I boot into Windows 7 64-bit, and open CPU-Z (ver 1.73), and it still shows 3300MHz, no matter what I change the multi to. I then try running a benchmarking program or a stress test, and it stays at the default frequency of 3300MHz. My scores on the benchmarks (Cinebench and x264 benchmark) are the same as when I run it with no overclock. It is not an issue with CPU-Z reporting the wrong frequency, or my benchmark scores from stock would change.
The CPU core voltage in CPU-Z is reported correctly, and changes as I change it in the UEFI.
 
I have tried turning Speedstep off, raising CPU core voltage, raising CPU input voltage, level 1 LLC, etc.
I have tried multipliers of 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, and 44.
I have tried the pre-programmed overclocks on the MOBO from ASRock, such as the "Turbo 4.0GHz" profile, and the "Turbo 4.2GHz" profile.
None of it has worked.
 
 
Now, the interesting thing is when I open Asrock A-Tuning. It shows the correct multiplier that I set in the BIOS, along with the voltages, etc. It is like the BIOS is somehow only communicating with A-Tuning, and not Windows.
 
 
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Try http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=630&title=how-to-clear-cmos-via-battery-removal" rel="nofollow - clearing CMOS , sometimes UEFI's can get what I like to call sticky. If that still does not work, post back and we can look at your BIOS settings in more depth.
