Well, it's all become clear now after a bit more testing. First I had to scare up a spare SSD and do an isolated install if Windows 7 (isolated to protect my linux images). After the typical run-around to find drivers, I set BIOS to default values and ran HWiNFO32. All was good as...

Well, I guess with linux I am just out of luck. Running Windows under VirtualBox seems to block important information from HWiNFO32. I don't see the information from your list at all -- no Overclocking info at all, which I think is a function of the system board, which isn't visible at all...

OK, I took your suggestion to set to defaults, and then ran HWiNFO32. The relevant portion is: Intel Core i5-4690K ------------------------------------------------------- [General Information] Processor Name: Intel Core i5-4690K Original Processor Frequency...

I went through each item in your BIOS screens and set the same item in by BIOS. There were some differences but they seemed minor except perhaps I have no Fully manual Mode and no apparent counterpart. All settings were accepted and the system restarted fine, no BSOD or heat problems (34...

I've been using a multi-threaded complex document make that pegs all 4 core for 30 minutes as my load. It's the reason I built it in the fist place. Recall, it's a linux box so i can't run windows applications. I'll carefully step through the BIOS screens you sent (which are great, thanks!)...

I tried multiplier of 42 and CPU voltage of 1.2 -- the original problem persists, the system maxes at 3501 Mhz. I know what setting I'd like to use (this suggestions is about what I have been trying) -- but the problem is to get the BIOS to recognize the settings. I also tried the longer list...

I have an ASUS Z87-PRO (latest bios update) and i5-4690K -- no matter what I do, it runs at 3501 MHz. I have built half a dozen overclock systems with never a problem, but this is driving me nuts. ASUS is no help at all. I have tried every combination of settings in the bios with no joy...
