MSI P67 Overclock Trouble Maybe?

[JustinSane]

So I changed some stuff in the bios to try to hit 4.5 on my i7. When I restarted this is what cpuz is giving me.

Confused? Why is it not saving? What am I forgetting? The vcore seems to be saving but not the overclock.

Alright I'm dumb. I started running Prime 95 and it jumped up to 4500 mhz. Isn't there a way to get it to always run at the overclocked speed? And how many tests was I supposed to set Prime 95 to run 4 or 8?

you can turn off speedstep in BIOS.

You need C1E or EIST off. Why do you not want it to idle at a lower cpu speed?

I thought that made it more likely to be unstable. Not the case?

Running at 4500 the whole time is pointless, but turn off "intel c-states" to do it. Should be in the green power menu.
