I got a prime95 and IntelBurnTest stable OC on my i5 2500k at 4.5GHz at 1.35v, no ram OC, disabled turbo and real-time OS changes (AWARD BIOS) on my GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3
That was on a windows 8 drive. My main drive is OS X 10.9.2
When I look at "About This Mac" I see Processor: 3.31GHz Intel Core i5
After some research, I found maybe I should use Chameleon Wizard to enable "Generate P-States" and "Generate C-States" under CPU section of org.chameleon.boot
I also enabled USB Bus Fix because the 3.0 ports are not usable even as 2.0 ports on the rear IO in OSX. I don't think this would have broken it.
I got it to crash on boot once, froze on some kernel stuff after apple logo and went to black screen with write writing and froze while generating the log text on screen. So I force-restarted it, entered BIOS, and it told me that I had an OC problem. I set it back to what I thought would work, 4.5 at forced 1.35v (instead of Normal, and then +.05v underneath) and it booted fine now. But I still see 3.3GHz on About This Mac!
What gives?
