The CPU experienced an overclock, but after being reset it no longer allows overclocking.

I own a G3258 built for overclocking and an MSI H81M-E33 motherboard. I previously managed a small overclock of 4.0 GHz. Recently, my performance improved until I observed a change in speed. I checked my core clocks in CPUZ and found them at 3.2 GHz. My BIOS is current. I replaced the original Intel DLL with a backup copy for my first attempt. I also downloaded a new GPU driver today, but it hasn’t affected the situation. I’ve experimented with various OC configurations, but they’re stuck at 3.2 GHz. Sorry, I’m still learning CPU overclocking.
Overclocking requires some preparation. First, I check the core temperatures—specifically the idle temperature and the maximum load temperature of the chip. Ensure your cooling system is sufficient; if it’s too hot, the chip may throttle itself. Next, I reset the BIOS settings by removing the backup battery for a short time and then reinserting it. This restores all BIOS configurations to their default state, allowing a fresh start. What adjustments have you made in the BIOS?
