Is this normal

I just OCed my 4770k to 4.4 ghz and im running prime95. On task manager it shows that the cpu is running at 100% but it only shows it running at 4.17 ghz. Is that normal?

are you  on adaptive voltage?

 

your most like throttling if you are.

dont use prime95 with adaptive voltage. it will overvolt your cpu, the cpu will overheat, and throttle down volts and frequency

 

if you want to stress with prime 95 only use manual mode.

When i go to manual mode and put in my voltage and reset, the windows loading screen just freezes

If it's freezing you probably don't have enough power to your CPU

Oh, but it never does that in adaptive voltage mode

Don't use prime95 for Haswell. Download intelburnintest

yep thats right. If you cant boot into windows your far from having the appropriate vcore

Is it safe to use adaptive mode for that?

I was stable at 4.7 with 1.080 vcore on adaptive mode, but it freezes on manual. Does adaptive automatically adjust your vcore to the needed vcore?

intel burn test over volts as well

Quick question, so i dont understand how i am able to boot up on 4.4 ghz with 1.08 volts on adaptive mode, but not on manual mode?

 make sure to tell people xtu not ibt. they are very different. so just be accurate! I know your just trying to be helpful!

Sorry. This is my first time building a rig and overclocking. Thanks for the help

 

 

start with my guide.  its newbie friendly

The reason why it boots on adaptive is because adaptive raises volts for cpu when it needs them. I personally use manual mode so I don't know how adaptive works. Like what is max it will raise volts and can you change that etc. So when you use manual volts, you must put manually the number in and mobo will use that amount all the time. Like I have "OC" with 4.0GHz, Vcore at 1.15V. I'm pretty sure it could run at 1.10V but I'm too lazy to test it. So for your clocks you should raise volts by 0.01V or maybe 0.05V until it can run stress test. Then you find the stable setup. On 4770K 1.3V is usually recomended to be max volts. But if your cooling can take it, 1.35V is possible. Over that will damage chip over time.
