overclock ga-z87ud3h F9 bios with a g3258 cpu

Using a ga-z87ud3h board and the F9 bios with a g3258 cpu. In the bios i set the multiplier to 44 and it sticks fine on reboot, but in windows7 sp1 32 bit my speed is read as 3.2ghz. Back to the bios and again it reads correctly at 4.4ghz. However, once I'm at the Windows desktop 3.2. What am I missing? thanks

Where are you reading the clock speed in windows? You should use cpuz. That may seem obvious but you never know.

You may also have power saving features on that cut it back too...when you put a load on the CPU, does it raise the clocks?
