Sorry, but also, that didn't answer my question in #11, room temps have nothing to do with why cpus are not being utilised at 100% while running prime 95
Yes, it does explain why however I will tell you again. Individual cores can [and very often do] run at different temps. That is most likely why you see some cores throttle down.

Remember you are never guaranteed that your processor will overclock. You are only guaranteed that it will run at stock speed. Some cpus [of the same family] overclock better than others. Just as an example, years ago I had two fx8350s [same motherboard, same pw supply, and same ram] One would overclock very well and the other would only achieve a slight OC.

I can see where you are comming from but seriously, the temps of each individual core is didlayed on hwmonitor and yes they run hotter then others but they do not at all get anywhere near even 90 degrees let alone the 100 degree mark, that's where I'm comming from
 
If you are using HWMonitor, it is next to useless. It was a decent program in it's day however that day has long past. Asus has purpose designed monitoring software for almost all of their motherboards. That will give you much better data than hwm. HWM does not do well with modern hardware. It does ok on old hardware however not so much on modern stuff.

Are you using the Asus monitoring program or something else?

Okay I used that and it said actually around 10 degrees less than hwmonitor, also the bottom two monitors said N/A and the motherboard one was working and the one below that was aswell but do I need the other two connected or is the temp reading accurate enough
 
Whatever the asus software says is the correct temp. You may just have to accept that you are not going to get a higher speed that what you have already attained. You can keep upping voltage and try again however that carries a VERY real chance of frying the processor, motherboard VRs, etc. Up to you. Remember you are never guaranteed that your cpu will overclock; only that it will run at stock speed.
