I acquired this low-end Z-MB with an i7-2600K from Aliexpress at a very affordable price. Running it at 4GHz and executing prime95 showed it struggles to maintain that speed. I turned off the Thermal Monitor, increased the TDP/Amp limits, and temperatures stayed normal, but there was noticeable throttling. The performance issues appeared consistent across different motherboards. Any suggestions?

This board isn't really meant for overclocking.
