Is my CPU running 4.7GHz on single core or all 6 cores?

Hello. Just a silly question for someone that knows how to overclock and what not. I want to find out if my CPU is running 4.7GHz on ALL 6 cores or just 1 core.

CPU: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...e-socket-lga1151-processor-oem-cp-64c-in.html

Overclocking guide I used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crK58SYFMfk&t=374s

See thing is I forgot what option in the BIOS disables the overclock on all cores etc or just overclocks on one core. Many thanks.

download and install CPUID or HWmonitor, they will both show what your individual core speeds are. if you go into your bios you will see the 'Multicore enhancement' that will lock all cores to 4.7ghz rather than just a single core. I had the ultra gaming 2 and you will be ok to use the 'CPU upgrade feature' and go to 4.8 4.9 and 5.0. Run a test like cinebench and see what your temps and post results in here.

I already ran Intel Burn Test as soon as I overclocked to 4.7GHz, temps were 69-70c max running for 15 minutes (very high stress). You think I could go more to 4.8 or 4.9GHz?

Yeah try 4.8ghz. Are you overclocking manually or using the cpu upgrade feature in the bios?

Overclocking in the BIOS. I am currently at just 1.26v @ 4.7GHz. I'd like to achieve 4.9GHz atleast. What voltage would you say I would need to be at to hit 4.9GHz?

i use 1.39v for 5ghz and 1.45v for 5.2ghz. Save the profile for 4.7 then use CPU Upgrade and set it to 5ghz. See what voltage its using and what your temps are like under load.
