overclocking Overclocking Issues?

[Prince Doggo]

Hi Team,

 

Here's my specs:

I5-9600k OCed at 5ghz- 1.37v

MSI z390 gaming plus

Rtx 2070s OCed at 1.9ghz- 8gb ddr6

Corsair vengeance ddr4 3200mhz

Intel 660p 1tb m.2 ssd

PSU: Corsair TMX 550w 80+ Gold

Cooler: custom loop

 

I've recently OCed my system and it's stable at the given speeds. I've used AIDA64 and OCCT to check for Cpu and GPU stability. 

Additionally, I've been using HWMonitor to check temps and speeds.

For gaming benchmark (my own form of benchmark), I've been using shadow of the tomb raider, warzone and Apex legends. My CPU's clocked speeds remain at 5ghz for all the games I've tried (more than the mentioned 3), apart from apex legends. For apex legends, the speed drops back to 4.6ghz and stays there as a 'max' speed until I restart my pc. I thought this was to do with origins but I tried Fallen order and my cpu was fine at 5ghz. It's only apex legends that's causing this issue.

 I've tried to Google it but have had no luck. Does anyone have any clue as to what maybe cause this? And no, I'm not going to stop playing apex. Lmao

 

Sorry for the long post.

 

Thanks.

AVX offset?

If you lower the multiplier to something like 49, does this still happen?

I don't think there is any avx offset as even at 48, 49 multiplier, it still reverts back to exactly 4.6ghz max speed. And yeah, it still happens with anything above 4.6ghz.

Thanks for the advice. Turns out that Apex legends uses an AVX offset as alot of players used to crash when playing. AVX offset was also set to auto in my BIOS. I've changed that and it's working fine now.

 

Thanks again for the help. +Rep
