Need help with 3770k Overclocking

karan538 · 11 Jun 2012 at 20:32

Ive currently overclocked my cpu to 4.6ghz with 1.25v

But the problem is it only runs at 4.6ghz while under stress and my cpu-z shows that while normal its 1.6ghz.

OCCT always shows the cpu underclocked by -54% at 1.6ghz.

How do i keep it at 4.6ghz at all times?

Here are some screenshots:

But under stress its fine?

Also are all the other voltages and temperatures al right?

Help would be very much appreciated.

Its energy saving feature when not under load, its called C1E Support so disable this in the bios.

Why would you want it running full all the time? Its a waste of electricity and will make your computer run hotter than it should do. Most modern intel processors have power saving features, its all good in the hood, dont worry.

You should keep Speedstep on to save power as others have said.

+1

(Apart from the all good in the hood bit

)

Set mine to 4.6 now

I was always used to having a processor running OC all the time but it makes sense now.
I guess people just miss having it show up the full OC in the win 7 system properties.

happier to not see the clock and keep the temps down tbh
