Aurora R3 overclocking confused.com
my R3 has the i7 2600 sandybridge CPU,
I was under the impression i can overclock it to 3.9ghz,. i went into the bios and there is an option for o/c to level 1
i selected this but now in windows cpuZ states im running at 3.4GHZ, am i missing something here

It could be speed stepping. Download real temp, and do a bench and you can see in real time if the mhz goes up 3.9. It will go back down to save power but if it hits 3.9 then the overclock was successful.
