2500k Core speed dropping

[a03dugga]

Hey guys, have the 2500k OC @ 4.6Ghz.
I have disabled speed-step and c1e yet my core speed still keeps dropping when not on load.
I'm concerned to be frank, with how low I've seen the core voltage drop, I don't like it. What shall i do?

If it matters, i have an Asrock z68 E4 G3.

Leave it as is, As long as it's stable.

It'll use less power and kicks out less heat which is better for the chip if you're not using all that power.

Don't worry about it.

My is 5Ghz on load and 1.6Ghz when on Windows and web surfing..

Alrighty Then. So shall i re-enable speed-step and c1e?

My 8150 doesn't drop

Speedstep is normal, I have it on and it keeps the CPU nice and cool with low power usage during idle. If you really want it off however, apart from the BIOS settings make sure the Windows power option is set to High Performance.

Yes, there's no reason to disable them. Unless you have Internal PLL Overvoltage enable, which is only need if your going over 4.8GHz

No i have that disabled. I don't fancy going over 4.6 to be honest. Cheers matey.
