overclocking with some efficiency

[agent z]

hi guys

i have a quick question here.

i wanna do an overclock to my 2600x. i dialed a really good one, but there is one problem. when im not using the pc for any heavy load i like to put it in power save mode. it reduces the power consumption and my cooler appreciate that too.

however, i noticed that when i diel the overclock in, it seems like it overwrites the power plans, i dont see the power cons going down nor the fans speed and the noise level. also, in the task manager, i see the clock speed stays the same no matter what power plan im using.

so is there a way i can fix this ? or it just "it is what it is" type of a thing ??

and thanks

What method did you use to overclock?

set a clock speed and reasonably up the voltage

the voltage was quite stupid im not gonna lie 

in gigabyte motherboards u dont set a set number, but u add voltage like +0.05 +0.075

Okay, so you used the BIOS. Sorry, I wasn't clear, but I was wondering if you perhaps used a software utility like Ryzen Master.

 

Typically, when overclocking it's recommended to disable the feature that auto-downclocks the CPU in an effort to get better stability. Intel calls it Speed Step, but I can't remember what AMD calls it. Did you change ANYTHING else in the BIOS?

 

FWIW, my CPU does not seem to respond to Windows power plan changes at all.

except of enabling xmp and doing the steps i told u about before ,,, nn i did not change anything else
