Xeon X5650 showing 4.4Ghz in CPU-Z with Rampage III Formula but not in apps or window

Hello!

So I just got this Rampage III for my X5650 and right away went to OC and got it to 4.3Ghz (blck 215) without changing anything else basically.
Then decided to try 220 but wont boot so instead decided to use Multi 22 and Blck200 for 4.4Ghz and while it boots just fine and it shows 4.4GHZ in CPU-Z, when I check Windows or Cinebench it only shows 4.0 Ghz and the performance is only with 4GHZ not 4.4Ghz
I need to learn a LOT about this board but wondering whats going on.

Also, the CPU level Up!, I tried using that but while I see people showing a list of choices, I dont see anything to select from or change. I am on the latest bios.
Any recommendations for OCing the xeon is welcomed. I am using AIO Thermaltake Water 2 extreme and pretty chilly in Utah right now.
Thanks!
