I finally got around to overclocking my build with temperatures that won't broil a chicken. After snorkeling around the web for months, I finally found a good link fro what is essentially a manual overclock in bios. More about that in a moment...
Also, the correct overclock "Processor Speed" shows up in the "System Report" as 4400GHz too! This is not some crazy manual work around to show the processor speed. It is the real deal right out of the bios!
The link I found is at a Windows overclocking forum titled "HOWTO overclock your i7-2600k on a P8P67 (w/pictures)":

I'm not going to explain what is already at this link as pictures are provided. I will say that what is provided works like a charm! Please note that the article does an OC to 4500GHz with a voltage manually set to 1.35v (mine is set at 1.30v). I may try to up my speed at some point but I am stable at 4400 so I'm happy for now with temps in the 124-135 (degree F) range. I am also getting high Geekbench scores so I'm not complaining! Not yet anyway... I also set my bios ram "XMP" profile to 1600GHz which was not done in the article. That setting will depend on the ram installed
My system:
Asus P8P67 Pro, i7 2600k (Corsair H70 cooling)
16GB - Patriot Ram (1600GHz)
Nvida GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1024 MB VRAM
Logitech M705 USB wireless mouse + keyboard (no wake from sleep doesn't work from these)
Cirago BTA3310 Bluetooth 3.0 USB dongle (Asus 2.1 BT works)
