Mark, I tried following the link in your post (I'm trying to get overclocking to work in OS X with a similar build) but it says I don't have administrative rights to view your post. Bit weird, I'm logged in and everything - any chance you could re-post your OC settings here please?
I'm running an i7 3930K on an ASUS P9X79 Pro motherboard, but whatever OC settings I apply in BIOS don't come up in OS X. When I do the auto overclock option (pressing 'OC Tuner' in the AI Tweaker menu, which causes the settings to be set to BCLK 126.37 and Turbo Ratio to 33), that registers in OS X (CPU at 4.04GHz) but whenever I try to set any custom overclock settings, it just shows up as 3.2GHz again. I've tried disabling turbo, speedstep, EPU power savings (all in various combinations) and OS X still won't recognise the overclock (Geekbench scores still down at 14,000, a bit low for my liking). Whenever I apply settings they always work in Windows though, and I've managed to achieve a stable 4.4GHz overclock on Windows but never in OS X - please help!
Thanks
Tom
EDIT: I should add that I've got OS X fully working in every other respect and don't need any bootflags. I have been using a fully CUDA-enabled GTX 680 for video rendering and everything about my system seems to operating very well (14,000 Geekbench score at stock 3.2GHz is pretty good I would say - this was a professionally built system with water cooling so it runs without a hitch, it's only applying successful overclocking in OS X that is defeating me).
