So I have tried for several days following various guides over at ROG and here, but I can not seem to get my system to overclock at all.

No matter what settings I try, Yosemite always reports 3.5Ghz. Also my Geekbench score often has dropped instead of gone up.

Any advice?

Thanks
 
No takers?

Does anyone know if the latest BIOS update could be the problem? I had my system OC'd and working under Mavs with an older BIOS before.

Thanks.
 
Get a program to check your actual CPU clock. My About this mac still shows 3.5 GH/z, but iStats shows 4.2 GH/z under load...
