I upgraded and now I lagg? [SOLVED]

I wish we could have JJ from Asus explaining to us what actually is the problem. Like this is nuts. Nice find though !

I thank GodlyGamer23 for posting the comment telling me to try it! :D

Speedstep* is a feature that underclocks the CPU when it's not under a significant load. Apparently in this scenario, it doesn't play well all the time. C states enable the CPU to hit lower power consumption states in certain scenarios. Also, Intel CPUs do not consume that much power. But if you want to be as efficient as possible, enable the C states and see if your issue is still fixed.

Okay good thanks.

 

Uhm, should I be worried if my core speed is constantly at 3.8/3.9Ghz??  Will that not burn out the chip??  I'm,worried because all I've been seeing is 800Mhz D:

No. It will not burn out the chip. The thing that kills chips is voltage and heat.

What temp should I start worrying?

What temp should I start worrying?

Generally, anything past 80 degrees C. But it also depends on the clock frequency what the appropriate temperature should be.

[grayperview]

disabling EIST should stop the clock from dropping.

Okay thank you very much! :D

I think this may be a bug worth reporting to ASUS about your specific motherboard as they will have to release a BIOS update to fix the Speedstep feature on your motherboard. I'm not sure what is up but ASUS doesn't seem to be pulling their own weight thats for sure, they're being very lazy with their products.

Couldn't find the CMOS so I just pulled the battery out and put it back in.  It reset the BIOS and now I can start up instantly without doing the stupid thing with memory check now.  However, it still did that weird thing - My processor starts off (I instantly open CPU-Z) at 3.5Ghz - 3.9Ghz for the first 2 minutes-ish, but then drops instantly to 800Mhz.  I don't know what's throttling it! D:

 

 

 

It sits around 29-33 Degrees Celsius whilst idling.  Roughly 31-35 Degrees Celsius.when I attempt to play games.

 

 

If it's the mobo, I'd love to know what's ACTUALLY wrong with it.  I don't actually have al ot of time as I have to go to work for a month on this coming Wednesday so I can't just RMA it right now.  I just don't understand what's throttling the CPU :(

 

well there is a EPU switch on the motherboard make sure it's off.

and in of the power consumption feature of haswell that it turn everything down on idle but don't worry it will crank it back up when you gaming.

It was pointless you saying that - this thread is already done and if you had read the previous posts, I already knew it.
