Is this under low load?
it will boost when it needs to, have you checked whilst stressing under load?

 

[PeterSVK]

No, under full load.

No, under full load.

What max frequency are you hitting?
The turbo boost frequency can differ depending on how many cores are boosting.

 

[PeterSVK]

I am hitting 4 Ghz.

Screenshot If this could help you. I even changed Power Option to Performance so idk what to do.

I highly suspect this is just due to the core load. Each core won't boost to 4.2, so you'll probably find only one core will boost when it is able to do so.

The 6700k only boosts single core load, so if you're running multicore load, you won't see the same boost behaviour

So basically if you're running something that only utilises one core, you'll see it boost to 4.2 when needed, if you're running more than single core, you'll see it will stick to around 4.
