Overclock wont save for cpu

[Shepherd_Strike]

My ram overclock will stay but my cpu will always revert to defaults on a overclock i made a couple months ago. I have dragon center but i no longer use that for overclocking.

rig: i7 9700k 

gtx 1070

16gb ddr4 2666

BIOS is where you should be overclocking, not through windows software.

I am doing overclocking through bios

Are you doing overclocking in the BIOS? It's interesting that your CPU settings won't save but your RAM settings will. Some more info would be helpful.

I am doing overclocking through bios also when i boot up windows it shows the overclock but when i play games it reverts back

Are you clicking "Save changes and exit"?

How are you confirming the overclock is "dropping" in Windows?

Try CPU-Z when running something like Cinebench R20

I got a video of it dropping i have the overclock at fixed not dynamic mode

You can't just look at the Core Speed CPU-Z is giving you alone.

You need to look at the Core Speed for ALL 8-cores -- so use something like HWINFO or HWMonitor, etc.

 

If ALL your cores, or some cores are dipping down to 4.6GHz, it could be thermal throttling, or unstable overclock.

Do you have the power-saving features like Intel Speed Step and stuff like that turned on? If so then it'll downclock itself while not under load.

i have the overclock set to all cores

Like I said, check using another monitoring tool that can show the frequency of ALL 8-CORES, to make sure you are not throttling, or due to unstable overclock.

CPU-Z only shows the overall CPU frequency, NOT PER CORE frequency.

 

HWMonitor:

I used hwmonitore not CPU-Z to look at all cores

What does HWMonitor say for all cores, did you make a note of what HWMonitor shows when it drops to 4.6 GHz?

Is it all 8-cores dropping to 4.6 GHz, or just a few cores?

 

In your video 18-seconds, you only showed CPU-Z running, that's why.

Its all 8 cores

Okay...?

Not giving me a while lot of information to work with here...

 

How are the temperatures for the CPU? VRM?

When the CPU dips down to 4.6 GHz?

 

Have your tried bumping the Core Voltage up, and see if the frequency dips? Is the 1.375V (shown in CPU-Z) enough to sustain 5.1 GHz for all cores?

 

CPU-Z shows the CPU VID voltage which is what is being requested. What is the voltage the CPU is *ACTUALLY* receiving? Is it dipping down a certain times? Is your CPU Load-Line Calibration (LLC) setting too low?

 here is most of your info i bumped the voltage up to 1.38

I can see you're setting it to 1.38V, but it is not getting anywhere near that.

It is ACTUALLY getting 1.3V ~ 1.29V in your video.

 

(Your Toshiba drive is also indicating SMART drive failure )

 

Are you doing the overclock through MSi Dragon Center, or directly making + saving the overclock settings in BIOS?

 

MSi Dragon Center is know to override some settings set in the BIOS.

Yes ik my Toshiba drive is bad ill replace that sometime and im making overclocking settings in the bios directly
