Intel i7-4960x Ivy Bridge Extreme Not Detected / Clock Speed Reports Wrong

I may be slow in responding to issues till the end of June 2013.

Step 1. What steps will reproduce the problem?
Running the program with the 4960x CPU produces the following output.

i7z DEBUG: i7z version: svn-r77-(20-Nov-2011)
i7z DEBUG: Found Intel Processor
i7z DEBUG:    Stepping 4

him?

Step 2. What version of the product are you using (the download version or
the svn
version and which one)?

The download version, 0.27.2.

Step 3. If this is an enhancement or suggestion, skip this step (except if
its related to a particular OS or architecture). On what operating system?
BTW is it a 32-bit or a 64-bit OS/Kernel?

Ubuntu desktop 13.10 amd64 3.11.0-12-generic kernel

Step 4. Do provide information if bug/enhancement is related to a
particular OS/Processor. Please provide any additional information below
(helpful will be platform
information like number and types of cpus, motherboard and a copy of
/proc/cpuinfo)

The CPU I'm using is the Core i7-4960x Ivy Bridge-E CPU on the Asus Rampage IV 
Extreme motherboard.  I should also note that i7z (or turbostat) does not 
report the correct clock speed when overclocking the chip.  Essentially it 
never seems to report a speed beyond the base clock of 3.6GHz despite what 
multiplier is set in the bios.

/proc/cpuinfo is attached 

Step 5. If the program crashes. Can you also paste the
output of ls -lt /dev/cpu/*/msr?

Step 6. If the program crashed OR if this is for a new i7 chip. Can you
also run the following commands? They read various registers
and if those registers cannot be read the tool fails ungracefully. You will
have to sudo
each commmand and probably also do sudo modprobe msr (before running the
programs)
