HWMonitor does not recognize OC, neither does BIOS. But BiOS settings show the OC.

So basically, HWMonitor and the monitor in my BiOS don't recognize my 4.1GHz OC, and both of them just show 4 GHz. Am I doing anything wrong? When I put 41 or 42 in the setting, save and reboot, it just stays at 4 GHz explanation anyone?

Only "K" Intel processors have unlocked multiplier.

Huh? I'm not talking about the multiplier? I'm saying I tried to overclock but it didn't. And one time it actually worked, now it didnt

Than what are those 41 and 42 if not multiplier ?

Right, I thought 1 GHz was the multiplier. Anyway, even if it isn't k, I was still able to OC to 41? How come? Now I cant?
