Hi All,

So im taking some baby steps into overclocking and finding something strange with the cpu during a Cinebench/prime95 run.

During idle it sits at 3.8ghz (33c), As soon as cinebench runs it drops to 2.4/2.5ghz(48c) and 70% utilisation, even lower on prime95 at 2.1/2.2ghz and 60% utlisation.

Windows is in high performance mode and i've disabled AMD's Cool and Quiet CPU options in the bios, nothing else jumps out at that would suggest its a setting that makes the CPU throttle itself like that.
 
Hi all,

I forgot to come back to this one. problem solved by updating the bios.

I hadnt changed any settings was just trying to get a baseline score for stock.
