Hi all,
I have an 8700k overclocked to 4.7GHz all cores. Thermals are totally fine and it has passed several stress tests, so I consider the clock stable. It's on 1.26v on the vcore.
Right after booting up the PC (and after letting all background processes completely load up), I start a stress test and monitor my effective core clocks. They are where they should, i.e., 4.7GHz. I then close the stress test, and if I run it like 10 minutes afterwards, the effective clocks are at approx. 4.5-4.6 GHZ instead. Why is that? Shouldn't it always be at 4.7GHz? Feels like the cores are not being fully utilized. Please advice.
I have bumped up the Power limits etc. to the max in BIOS.
