X99 FTW with 5820K can't actually change vcore

I began to suspect something was off when I couldn't get the 5820K stable at 4.3GHz (which is a very modest overclock), even at 1.350V (which is a completely overkill amount of voltage). I thought the board might have been undervolting by a lot, so I connected my voltmeter to the probe-it. Turns out vcore was at the stock 1.059V. Before, I'd been using adaptive mode, with 1.000 base +275 offset. I tried all sorts of things; 1.275 base +0 offset; switching to override mode instead of adaptive. FIVR faults on/off, FIVR efficiency on/off, Droop on/off, NOTHING WORKS. Voltage stays at stock, no matter what the board reports. I've tried different bios revisions, and I get the same behavior on 2.05, 2.03 and 1.15. What gives???

    Update: actually, board CAN change vcore just fine. What doesn't work correctly is the voltage measurement point intended for the probe-it dongle. I don't know what the heck they wired the vcore leads to, but it's not actually vcore.
    5820k turned out to be a wooden sample and needs 1.42v.

    Glad you figured it out.
