Could it be that it doesn't have enough voltage to hold high clock? Even at say 1.4 v you will have a drop to about 1.36x at high power on some motherboards.

there is also a max power option in my BIOS that has two different wattage allowances for my CPU. 1st is set to 95w second is 118 i think.... not at home to check, but i was not experienced enough to know whether messing with those values might cook my chip.

Don't want to give you the wrong advice because I use AMD so I'll let a more experienced user respond. I believe that would help though but not 100% sure.
