Sorry folks but unable to help when it comes to OCing as I have zero knowledge on it.
 
When you go back to your BIOS after a restart, is your overclock profile still saved, or is it reset to default values again?

Do you have ASUS AI Suite installed on your computer? That software overrides overclock settings done through BIOS, so I would uninstall it if you do have it.

ASUS' BIOS Turbo Mode could also be overriding your overclock settings. If you have it enabled, reset your settings to the default and apply the OC settings without touching any bonus features.

Are you using any software like CPU-Z to monitor your CPU speed under stress?
