2500k, asrock z68 extreme4 (non gen3)
1. When my cpu is idle the multi sits at 16, not the target even though speedstep & C1E are off in the UEFI. Why is this? I thought disabling those settings would lock the CPU at the chosen multi 24/7. It raises itself fine when under load.
Edit: Actually I just noticed that when running prime 95 the cpu multiplier will not hold at the target. I presume this is because when I disable speedstep I lose access to the manual turbo boost power limit settings, so the CPU is getting starved of power.
2. Why does the bus speed read as 99.8 in CPUz rather than the 100 it is set to in the UEFI. If I set it to 100.1 in the UEFI it reads correctly in CPUz.
3. I am overclocked with offsets, so my voltages fluctuate & will differ depending on the task. The fluctuations are not a problem but the task differences are causing confusion. Superpi will pull less volts than prime for example, but what task should I use to judge my volts from? Superpi? Prime? Games?
Cheers in advance
