As the title says, i can't OC, the bios saves the settings, but it doesn't changes anything anywhere, W10 still says i have an 3.6ghz i5, the same for ubuntu 18 or Mac OS High Sierra, even the "ez mode" of the bios still shows that i have stock speeds and voltages. RAM oc just fine at 3200, so it is just the CPU. Also latest bios patch.

[strike] Max are 3.6, it doesnt even activate factory turbo mode, and the temps are really low, so no throttling, i have come to the conclusion that my motherboard is faulty, and i cant even RMA it by this point

Edit: and yes, i tried clearing the cmos [/strike]
EDIT 2: I somehow managed to do it, i have to activate performance mode AND turbo mode, so i have a perpetual turbo mode 24/7 at max core speed, there is no other way around.
