Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z

[xtremedetailz]

Right guys i have this bit of a problem, when i first booted up and went into the bios on this board it was showing my CPU volts at 1.184v or something very close to that.

After the first reboot and loading all the drivers and such i loaded CPU-Z and it was showing 1.25v..

Now i went back into the bios and it was all on auto and the cpu volts was 1.25v, not overclocked or anything.

So i have tried overclocking and have picked the 4.6ghz clock with 1.35v but during windows in CPU-Z it will downclock to 1600mhz but the volts wont.

On my UD7 it used to drop the volts aswell as clocks.

So i tried loading all defaults in bios and leaving it and again even at default it will downclock to 1600mhz but the volts do not change.

What am i missing ?? I have all speedstep and others enabled.

Please help...

when theres no load on the cpu the processor runs at a slower speed, on my asrock extreme 7 on cpu-z it shows 1.6Ghz on idle as soon i start something cpu intensive it shoots up.

hope that helps, this is my first 1155 board and processor so still learning.

I've got one, you need to set the overclocking mode to offset mode if you want it to downclock as well as lower voltage when idle
