yeah il replace the thermal pase or i might replace to the cooler all togother with an h105 in the coming months  i'm 100% sure its the thermal paste the pump is mounted on their very good i even did the washer trick 

Its likely the thermal paste then.  Buy some new TIM before investing in a new AIO.

That is how adaptive mode works.. it is like smart voltage.  It fluctuates as the load on the processor increases and decreases.  When you are at an idle or low-usage state, the voltage and Mhz are low.  As the load on the processor ramps up, Mhz and voltage increases to account for this increase.  That is perfectly normal.  Now try running games and your regular daily use programs with adaptive mode.  Manual mode should only be used when stress testing.  Everything else, use adaptive.

i noticed when playing crysis it didnt hit the 4.7 it will go to 3.3 to 2.2 to 1.8 and kept going so i just switch my power savings plain to performance to then back to balanced when im not gaming

Oh, you want to disable power saving mode.  I forget the exact name of it, I can go into my BIOS and check if you'd like.

@brandonb21 you also need to change one of the settings to Extreme, its on the same page in the BIOS as Load-Line Calibration, which should be at a 4 out of 8 if your BIOS is anything like mine(Z87-A).

Ok hold on, ill go into BIOS and find the exact setting for you.

@brandonb21

BIOS > Advanced Mode > AI Tweaker > EPU Power Saving Mode = Disabled > DIGI + VRM > CPU Load Line Calibration = Level 4. CPU Power Phase Control = Extreme

That should hopefully do it

You can turn off performance mode in control panel now after making those changes.

What game is it doing this in?  If it is a non-CPU intensive game, then it likely doesn't need the full 4.7Ghz.

What is your performance like? 

 

Heaven Benchmark I know doesn't utilize the full 4.7Ghz because it is GPU bound, not CPU bound.  So it is working as it should for that.

 

How is World of Warcraft?  Is your performance bad?  WoW is an MMO, and it is CPU dependent, although it can only utilize 2 cores it should be at the maximum Mhz I would think.  I haven't ever played WoW, but when I played ESO and ArcheAge, my CPU was at its highest Mhz.

Stuttering is not good.. is this just in WoW?  You said it goes away when you switch to performance mode while in Windows?

Hm.. I guess run in performance mode...

This is not as desirable an option because your processor will now be at a higher voltage and core speed at all times.  But if it fixes the problems, then might as well keep it on performance mode.  Performance mode is essentially manual voltage, which is not good.  I'm kind of stumped as what to try next, I've never encountered this problem. 

 

Maybe create a new thread in the Troubleshooting section of the forum and describe the problem.

 

Make sure you provide a full component list, including overclocks

Link this thread so people trying to help can view all of the pertinent information

List all of your overclock and BIOS settings

im using on board video (intel HD 4600) i sold my video card as the 980 by nivida is going to be out next month for some reason it favors high clock speeds

Ohh dude.. why didn't you say so, or maybe I missed it.  That is likely a source of the problem.  That iGPU is good for what it is, but it is not really capable of driving games and benchmarks at consistent fps at anything higher than 720p.
