Hi,
I have successfully O/C my i5 4690k from 3.5ghz to 4.6ghz. It has been stable for weeks, as I play games with no problems and no overheating (below 60c).
My wife uses my computer during the day to do animation work and uses Photoshop, After Effects and Windows Movie Maker.
Whenever I use the computer in the evening, I check the CPU speed it resets to the default CPU speed of 3.5ghz. When I re-boot it goes back to the O/C speed of 4.6 and stays at that speed as long as I use it. Whenever my wife uses it (login-in as different user) it somehow resets to the default CPU speed. This happens everyday without fail.
I have tried switching to her user and running Photoshop and After Effects for a few minutes but this does not change the O/C to the default, it stays at 4.6ghz. It must be something that she does during the days that resets it.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?
