Help with overclock

[TobiUnlimited]

Hey, my name is Tobi and i'm the new one 

 

I recently got my Intel Pentium G3258 and my ASRock H97 Pro4 (yeah, it is capable of overclocking the G3258). I changed the Core Ratio and the multiplier to 37. 

 

CPU-Z says its running on 32 but i set it to 37, it recognizes that! 

 

What can i do, to let it run at 3.7GHz?

 

Sorry for my english, i'm from germany

i think it did. If you look at the multiplier it says "x32.0 (8-37)" which should mean that when you need the extra speed it should higher it to x37. Here's what my oc looks like in CPU-Z.

(I raised the multiplier to 46)

CPU-Z shows what speed it is running at right now. Start Prime 95 and check again.

Some motherboards also have a feature to force the Turbo clock on permanently and keep it from declocking.

^Different from Speedstep/Windows Power Profiles

 

Speaking of.. MAKE SURE Windows is set to High performance under power profiles. <-located in Control Panel

Yep, Windows is set to high performance, thats why i asked. Cause, than it normaly should run at that speed. So i downloaded ASRock A-Tuning and let the software do the overclock. It's now running at 4.0 GHz.

Until you disable speedstep it will keep declocking when nothing is happening.

The way to make sure its running fine, is to grab a CPU bench or stresstest and you'll see that it turbo's fully on 1-2 cores, backs off a little with 3 cores, backs off a little again with 4 cores active.

 

Cinebench is good cos You can test a single core (expect full turbo speeds) and then do Multithreaded tests to see the Functional Turbo speeds under multi-core load.
