Hi everyone! I have an I5-4690k, and an Asrock pro4 H97 motherboard.
Before I start off, yes, I am aware that the H97 chipset cannot overclock in the bios. But there is an Asrock tuning utility app which lets you overclock. I used the "auto" feature (or something like that) and it set it to x43 for the ratio and x39 for the cache ratio. Basically, on CPU-Z, it displays that it is running at x37, and in parenthesis "(x8-x43)". I've played high-demanding games while watching and it always remains at x37. I disabled SpeedStep in the bios, but no change. Task manager says its running at 3.5GHz (stock speed).
I know the H97 chipset doesn't overclock thru the BIOS, but is that the reason I run at the stock ratio (x37) even when CPU-Z says it can go up to x43 (which I overclocked to)?
Any help is appreciated!

I understand. I looked through the manuals and spent a lot of time researching. The overclock display in CPU-Z shows "x37 (x8-x43)". Sadly, I haven't managed to solve it yet. That's why I'm here. My question might not have been clear, as explaining it is quite challenging.
