So I got this Biostar TZ77a from a guy on CL, and he told me he was running this 3570k at 4.5ghz on this motherboard. I am inclined to believe him, but I can't get it to work, I set the cpu multiplier to 40 (from 34) in the bios and it doesn't stick loading into windows for some reason, can someone help me? Here is what the bios screen looks like.
 

 
And the voltage section for reference.

 
And then as you can see it's not sticking in windows.

-16GB RAM.
-GTX 1070.
-128GB SSD.
-1X 1TB 7200 spinny drive.

    maybe up the voltage on the cpu a tad? turn off all and any power saving features, um make sure you have the right c states selected/disabled?

    I'm a noob to overclocking in this fashion, proper c-states what would those be? And yea all power saving features are off.

    C states are like power saving features, but you may not need to disable them. I would start my upping the cpu volatge a little bit. Or look online to see what other people did using the board that you have.

    I did try upping the voltage it didn't help. I also couldn't find anything on anyone else trying to overclock on this board.

    Now this is troublesome. Overclocking via the FSB works, yet no matter what I do, I can't get the multiplier to work. It acknowledges it in the bios load screen (says 4000mhz) yet it's not working in windows. God this is driving me insane...

    I'm such an idiot! It was realtemp all along that was doing it! I have absolutely no idea why, I can't seem to figure it out, but when I got it off my startup programs, I booted and checked with cpu-z and it was sitting at 3.6ghz, then I open realtemp and I physically watch it drop in CPU-Z down to 3.4ghz. If anyone else ever has this problem (maybe you googled it and found this) Realtemp might be your problem!

    I think you have c states enabled. Realtemp is not going to do that, unless the cpu is overheating.

    You might want to try downloading the Intel turbo boost monitor.  It will show what clock speed the CPU is running.  This should tell you if your overclock setting is really sticking or Realtemp is messing something up.

    My BIOS has several undesireable features that none of my other motherboards had, including my Z77 Extreme4. The main setting is called "OverSpeed Protection" and has several subsettings.
    1) Long Duration Power Limit(W): This sets the TDP for long duration loads. Mine was set to 95w as default because that is my CPU spec. I had to increase this value to 140w to keep my CPU from downclocking like yours is doing now.
    2) Short Duration Power Limit:(W): Same as above. I set mine to 140w.

    Yea I saw that power limit thing on my mobo too, but it was, even at default, set to 160 so I left it at that. I'm not having the downclock issue anymore since I stopped using realtemp (realtempGT seems to work fine).

    By chance are you from the Pittsburgh PA area?
     
    Also from your screen shots you have the settings wrong for overclocking. Clock spread should be disabled, Vcore should be set to manual while running stress test to find your stable voltage, then set to offset mode. Vcore load line should be set to high/extreme I think.
     
    If I were you I would do some research before attempting to OC your cpu. There are some good guides out there, just not many specific to Biostar MB. Just follow the Asus OC guide on overclock.net, it will have some settings different then your MB but most will be the same.
