harr, lemme see see..
can u snap a picture of your overclock values in bios that u trying to set?

also, probably update your bios as well, the latest is F9c obtained from gigabyte website for this board: https://www.gigabyte.com/my/Motherboard/GA-...support-dl-bios

if one sets a constant multiplier in bios means all core oc ler..what ts needs to check is the base clock value and if unsure ts shall snap a photo for us to look on.
7700K can OC till 5GHz if temperature and silicon quality allows lol, it doesn't go "max at 4.5"

alamak old gigabyte bios..pain in the ass UEFI

u don't usually update bios from within windows, even if u can, u shouldn't.
if u have a usb drive, gonna format the drive and iirc gigabyte will provide you efiflash.exe when u download the bios from its site which is used to format the thumbdrive into bootable fat32 drive, it will also store all the required bios files in it (or not)
then u can update the bios through gigabyte Q-Flash after pluggin in the thumbdrive and cold boot ur pc.

edit: oops correction, no efiflash is not used to format ur thumbdrive use other tools to format ur usb into fat32 (e.g. windows disk management). then copy the bios into ur usb drive. i mixed up because i once used imageUSB to write memtest86 into my thumbdrive that also formatted it into fat32.

u where got right la..he didn't even get 4.7 single core, all cores only getting 40 - 44x multiplier..also 4.7G is OC value ya, 7700K's max single core boost is still 4.5

ts had said 4.5 but it probably be just an approx value for quick saying only..
have a look at ts screenshots, his all core is running at x44 multiplier on P95 load, and usual BCLK is 100MHz, so at 4400MHz.
in his screenshots u can also notice the clock is running at different power state...means going less than base clock, so again means his BIOS probably really not registering the change..though i am not sure if it's the instant clock or effective clock, if it's instant clock is at that rate (e.g. 800MHz seen in screenshots) means the BIOS didn't really OC the CPU, but if it is effective clock at that 800MHz rate, we couldn't tell..therefore i'd always recommend running HWiNFO instead of CPUID HWMonitor

example of instant clock vs effective clock shown by HWiNFO app

i wonder if it's some energy saving related problem. when u change ur multiplier to 47, can you go back into BIOS after the restart? see what clock speed ur CPU is running when inside BIOS. if it's running at 4700MHz in BIOS means the OC indeed did apply..

means BIOS actually did apply ur settings, but somehow boot into windows all settings get torn or sth..
using windows 10? if yes try to open ur power plan settings and set to high performance plan (newer win10 has another one called ultimate performance), then change its advance power settings, then under processor power management set the min state and max state to 100% and reboot

out of juice ler..need to summon more sifus. but if the bios shows that it can run 7700K at ur defined frequency means the BIOS definitely applied the OC values..
