     I've overclocked several 4790k's on different motherboards so I'm familiar with how that works. However, this EVGA z97 Classified has got me completely stumped. Begining to think I have a faulty board.
 
The problem:
 
I manually set the cpu multiplyer to 46 and yet on every reboot cpu stays stuck at 4.0 ghz , which is the non-turbo override setting.
 
   The bios shows it's accepted the overclock "Taget CPU Frequency" says 4600 mhz..but re-boot and its 4.0ghz.
I can get my overclock to 4.7ghz only when EIST/TURBO is enabled with settings like this :
Bios set to Manual Overclock
EIST - Enabled
Turbo -Enabled
Manual
47 core 1
47 core2
47 core 3
47 core 4
40 core ratio
   Whats strange is that sometimes when I first use this setting on reboot, my clocks stay at 4.7 ghz without speedstep working. I reboot... the cpu clocks down to 3.6ghz for no reason. I have to re-save the same  settings in bios to get this clock working with EIST/TURBO in windows.
 
So basically ;
When I turn off EIST /TURBO/C1 and bios says correct target cpu frequency (4.7 but boots at 4.0ghz into windows.
-My power options in windows set to balanced.
-Updated bios to latest.
-Tried older version bios # 2  - same results.
I'm stumped. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks !
-Glenn
 
 
 
Here are some screenshots of the settings and my current specs:
 
 
Manual overclock settings will not stick. Reboot windows says 4.0ghz

 
 
Only way overclock to stick is to enable EIST/TURBO

 
 
With EIST/TURBO enabled I can see all 4 CLOCKS

    Here is a overclocking guide from EVGA_Jacob.
     
    Here is a quick overclocking guide for the EVGA X99 motherboards! Overclocking these boards are similar to Z97, so if you are familiar there, you should be familiar here  Regardless, here is a really quick/easy guide for basic overclocking on EVGA X99.
     
    Hardware used:
    EVGA X99 Classified
    Intel 5820K CPU
    DDR4 2133MHz
     
    1. Press delete to enter the system BIOS when system boots.

     
    2. Main screen will be the Overclock section, scroll down to the CPU Multiplier Control section you can use the mouse or keyboard to navigate here. Change CPU Multiplier Control to Manual.

     
    3. Set a CPU Multiplier setting, for this demo we used 42. Remember that BCLOCK x Multiplier = CPU clock, so this means we are running 4200MHz.

     
    4. When overclocking your CPU, you may need a higher voltage to achieve stability. To do this navigate to the CPU Voltage Mode section and change the Voltage Mode from Auto to Override or Adaptive. The differences are as follows:
         a. Override mode will force the CPU voltage to run at set voltage during all scenarios, even when system is idle. This will keep the voltage locked but may run the system at a higher temperature during idle.
         b. Adaptive mode will set a voltage OFFSET from the current running voltage. Example: If CPU voltage is 1.050V, setting +50mV will run CPU at 1.100v

     
    5. Head to the Memory section to set your memory frequency, you can enable XMP if your memory supports it, this will automatically enable the correct frequency and timings

     
    6. Save and Exit the BIOS and Boot into Windows to stress test your overclock. Don’t forget to watch your CPU Temperatures! Hint: If you want the CPU clocks to stay at full performance mode without dropping while in Windows, change your Windows Power Options to “High Performance” mode:

     
    And with that this is the basics of overclocking on EVGA X99! Of course things can get a lot more advanced if you are doing more aggressive overclocking, where additional voltages to various controllers or better cooling may be needed!

    Hey thanks ! Wonder if Jacob had EIST set to on. You can see all 6 core ratio limit clocks. I can only see this option when EIST is enabled. This really doesn't help much though. I've set my voltages but in manual mode with eist turned off no overclock sticks. Keeps reverting back to 4.0ghz .

    Send Jacob a PM he will get back to you with answers.

    One thing try setting your power option in windows to high performance. This will set the CPU clocks to stay at full performance mode without dropping. 
    I overclocked my 4790K to 4.8 adding 100mv to CPU offset voltage. Stable for two weeks no issues. I can see all cores at 48.

    Just want to say thanks ! Changing the power performance worked. Currently benching 4.9 but will probably stick to 4.7 for gaming . Appreciate the feedback .

    I did not Disabled EIST before on all my Computers, but Now I keep all my rigs Enabled.
    If I Disabled TURBO on any of my Computers I could not Overclock any of them.
