1600X sticks at 2200 MHz with much of an OC

Recently bought the 1600X cooled by an H60 with a C6H and 2x8 Gb sticks of Corsair DDR4-3200 ram. PSU is an EVGA 850GQ and a Gigabyte RX580 Gaming 8GB. Running Windows 7 SP1 OS.

I was a bit concerned with running it stock, as the CPU voltage was going above 1.5v at times. I have messed around with it some but anything above 3.7 GHz (even 3.725) causes the processor to be locked at 2.2 Ghz. I've gone up to 1.45v for the manual voltage and same thing happens. I've loaded the cpu with Prime95 and other benchmarking software and it still stays at 2200 MHz. I originally had the ram running at 3200 but tried 2666 to make sure that wasn't the issue. Is there a setting or something I have to change to allow an OC to work from the bios? I've gone as high as LLC 2.

Temps were at 60 C in Prime95 stock, at 3.7 with 1.425v it was around 55 C so my guess is that it isnt a thermal issue.

Also noticed the 1.8v PLL was a bit over 2.0v at times, is that an issue?

Thanks in advance

Figured out it has to do specifically with the 1600X and the BIOS UEFI version defaulting to 22x multiplier with manual voltage settings. I was able to find a Beta BIOS UEFI update from ASUS and the issue is resolved. I believe that it was UEFI 9920 if anyone else has the same issue.

I have seen that with Ryzen. My 1800x will hit 1.5v on XFR at times for peaks. I even saw HWmonitor catch 1.51v once but I only ran it stock just long enough to do some benchmarks. Been overclocked since with static voltage. Makes me wonder if 1.45v really isnt that bad for 24/7.
