I'm overclocking my i7-920 to 166MHz. The motherboard is SERVER_MB ASUS|P6T WS PRO X58 R.
I've made all the necessary settings in the BIOS from what I can tell, but CPU-Z is still reporting the multiplier capped at 17x (2819MHz)

when it is instead "CPU Ratio Setting" is set to 21x in the BIOS. Even when I stress test, it's stuck at 17x. Even though the bus speed is shown correctly as 166.
The BIOS is reporting it correctly as 3.48GHz. My BIOS is up-to-date, SpeedStep is off, CPU spread spectrum is off, Turbo is on. Windows 10 power settings are set to high performance.
I've also tried turning Turbo off or on, no difference.
What else am I missing?
The one thing that I notice is CPU-Z still gives a range 12-22 in parenthesis, why would it give a range when I have it specifically defined?
