Hey guys,
I've been trying to figure out which bios/overclock settings are best for me with regard to temps and power draw etc. As a part of this I need to keep an eye on CPU temps and throttle etc.
Problem is every app I use is showing different results for throttle and voltages. If I run stock speeds all is good, however if I bump my RAM up to 1600mhz some apps say that voltage and clockspeed is constantly at max while others show that the cpu is throttling back but still being fed the full 1.1xV. Obviously this second situation makes me weary but I'm not sure if the figures are correct?
Not sure which app to trust etc, any help would be appreciated
. Also my cpu temps will jump from 35/37c down to 23c for a few seconds and then back up again... not sure that that is right.
Note: My at the socket meter shows that voltage draw hardly goes up when I OC the RAM (1-2V higher) if that helps.
Spec: i7 860, MSI P55-GD65, Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 1600Mhz
