Overclock showing in BIOS but not in windows - HELP

[joemc99]

Hello i had my first go at Overclocking yesterday night and it seems to have gone okay. Ive stress tested it using prime 95 and also have played a few games for a while and it seems to be stable, however my overclock does not show up in windows (CPU-Z , Real Temp GT) however CPUZ recognises my CPU multiplier is from 8 to 42 

 

System specs

 

Mobo : MSI Z87 G45

CPU : i5 4670K

CPU COOLER : H100i 

RAM: Corsair vengeance 8GB  

GPU : MSI GTX660 Twin Frozr OC 

PSU : Corsair CX600M 

HDD (s) : OCZ Vertex 3 120gb

               Seagate barracuda 500gb

 

My BIOS is version 1.5 (not the latest ) 

My OS is Windows 7 ultimate 64bit

My OC is 4.2GHZ

 

I DID MY OVERCLOCK USING THIS GUIDE FROM TECHYESCITY ON YOUTUBE :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mLP3pGvnDU

Try enabling the tpu switch on the mobo

This is an msi board not an asus so it does not have a tpu switch .

Disabled turbo boost?

someone else said that but im not sure how to do it because the option is greyed out

8*100 = 800MHz. this is what haswell has its minimum clock at.

42*100 = 4200MHz. this is your maximum boost clock.

 

You cannot disable the minimum clock as you don't want your CPU to be doing 4.2GHz all the time.

 

Depending on load your CPU clock will change. Load Prime95 small FFT and wou will see it ramp up.

You can disable the minimun clock by putting your computer into max performance mode in windows.

nothing about getting rid of min clock

Your CPU would burn out faster than a dragster if you ran a max clock all the time.

In the additional plans or whatever it is in english I just turn the high performance on and my cpu stays at max clockspeed.

 

Also in my bios I can change the minimum multiplier in z87-a

Are you using task manager to measure clock speed?

also i wouldn't touch the min clock speed.

My chip can do 1600-4800MHz so i'm cool with that. Means when it is not being used the chip can go to a low power state.
