HELP - cpu not overclocking
It was a while ago when the CPU was running at 4.0Ghz, but after updating the motherboard, everything reset. Now, when attempting to overclock, only the turbo frequency changes, not the base clock. The turbo boost remains stuck at 3192mhz, and even setting it to 3.8Ghz with adaptive voltage doesn’t resolve the issue—it still shows Base frequency as 3192mhz and Turbo as 3792mhz. Turning off turbo boost didn’t help either.
It seems you're facing some limitations with your H81 board. The old microcode can overclock the processor, but it doesn't support Windows 10. For running Windows 10, you'll need the updated, more secure microcode. You probably won't be able to modify the multiplier processor since Intel has restricted changes through their latest updates.
H81 boards are not designed for overclocking. Yet, certain older BIOS updates include outdated Intel microcode that enables G3258 overclocking on specific H81 models.

H81 boards aren't technically designed for overclocking. But some older BIOS updates include outdated Intel microcode that enables overclocking the G3258 on certain H81 boards.
From my research, you should use BIOS version F8 for the Gigabyte H81M-H.

In my BIOS it shows I was using version F2. That might have been the problem. I'm planning an upgrade and will share the outcomes. Thanks.
The attempt didn't succeed, but I have the mobile version 2.1.

Quixit explains the situation clearly. The H81 board can boost your processor speed using the old microcode, but this doesn't work with Windows 10. For Windows 10, you must use the updated, restricted microcode. It seems like a hassle, but it's necessary. A Z97 or Z87 board might be required to adjust the multiplier processor since Intel has blocked changes through their microcode updates.
