help with overclocling

[PAULRYAN52]

hi, I've overclockered my 7700k to 4.8 in the bios but when I start windows its only running at 4.4 for the the cores and and 4.1 the cache, turbo boost is off, specs are in my sig

 

[PAULRYAN52]

anyone

 

[james_2k]

take some photos of the bios' relevant pages and we can see if anything is amis.

 

[PAULRYAN52]

will do tomorrow

 

[PAULRYAN52]

sorry its later than what I said it would be but here they are

 

[greenbrucelee]

what about your power options in windows? switch of any of that eco crap and keep it on high performance.

 

[PAULRYAN52]

doesn't make a difference still the same, is there anything wrong

 

[greenbrucelee]

I must be missing something because I can't see anything wrong.

 

[PAULRYAN52]

is there anyway to get the voltage to automatically lower when not in use, it goes to the correct settings when I use gigabyte easytune to set them

 

[greenbrucelee]

if enable c1e etc then the voltage will drop as the speed drops. on my i2500k I have at the moment I have those enabled so it runs at 3.3 and jumps to 4.5 when being pushed. The voltage you set it the BIOS is the max voltage it will go to when using full speed but if you have speedstep c1e disabled it will be that speed and voltage all the time. I only ever have those disabled initially when overclocking as it allows me to full see all readings in cpu-z and make sure prime95 and intel burn test are pushing it to the max. Once I know its stable I re enable them and then torture test it again just to make sure.

 

[greenbrucelee]

try turn avx off or reducing it to 1. It might increase your temps though if you turn it off.

 

[PAULRYAN52]

done everything I can and still the same, I can just use the easy tune app and it works as it should

 

[greenbrucelee]

weird. not sure why. sorry

 

[PAULRYAN52]

no problem, 1 positive I think I've got the voltage down to 1.25v just wish I could get it to lower when not needed but it doesn't seem to move automatically with any setting I change
