Overclocked in Bios but it does not apply?

salatji · October 30, 2019

Hey, I did a OC on my 1600x to 3.9GHz with 1.375 Core voltage. Those settings are still in the Bios, but once I am in windows and check with any monitoring program, the frequency is at 3.6GHz. BIOS and driver are all up to date (I'll recheck this to make sure this is not an issue)

It did work initially, I just noticed that it changed now because I wanted to figure out if a upgrade to a 3600(x) or 3700x would be beneficial for my ingame experience in EFT. (Side note: the 300MHz OC did work wonders on the performance for EFT, so if anyone plays this game, make sure to squeeze out as much as possible out of your CPU)

Hey, still running in the problem. From time to time when starting the PC, the OC does not apply. Whenever I restart and go in bios, the overclock is still there, but the previous start did not apply it. When I then save & reboot, the OC is applied. I even tried to lower it to 3800 mhz, but I seem to keep running in the same issues.

Someone has an idea why this keeps happening? Thanks.
