Haswell overclock at constant speed

Okay so i had this problem, in windows did you change it to high performance? Cause if yes, it wont throttle down

So I'm in the midst of trying to get a nice stable overclock on my 4770k, and I just realised that my core speed didn't adapt to the load experienced, it was constantly at 4.3GHz and 1.2V. Confused by this, I played around with a few settings with voltages and nothing really happened. Not happy with this, I reset to default settings. For some reason, even at stock settings, my core speed won't go down, and my voltage is pretty much constantly 1.2V. I know that it was adaptive before I started overclocking, so what could be causing this to be constant now?

 

Using a 4770k and a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC.

the bios must have messed up, upgrade-re flash it or try the dual bios or battery out for some time, might help...

reset cmos switch, if you can't find it it has the same as removing the cmos battery, so you could do that as well.

 

Bear in mind that this will reset ALL of your bios settings. -you've been warned.

 

Sorry, that's all I've got. No experience with that or a simmilar board, chipset.

it's the same, you don't have to.

 

switch to another bios, if that doesn't work, I'm outta ideas

Ok, so somehow clearing CMOS and switching BIOS both didn't work, which is confusing the shit out of me... Maybe I'm remembering CPU-Z's readout wrong? The core voltage and core speed SHOULD go down when at idle...right?

No problem, i had that problem too about a week ago! Also for the voltage to go down you need to set it to either adaptive or offset, adaptive is the best!

I can't see any option for that in the BIOS... I don't think Gigabyte implemented it, they just assumed adaptive would be used.... that being said, re-overclocked and the voltage is stuck at 1.2V again 'T.T

 

Ahh well, back to fiddling

Ive an Asus board but im guessing that adaptive should be there! Also you checking CPUZ? if yes for me it only goes as low as 1.06v whereas HWMonitor goes as low as 0.1. So yeah download that too and see if that changes something

CPU-Z stays at 1.198V constantly, and I've only ever used HWMonitor for temps... didn't realise it would have different readings to CPU-Z... Aren't they made by the same people?

I dont know but Vcore in HWmonitor is different than the one in CPUZ so i dont know! Also try running at 4.2GHz, not a huge difference in performance but voltage should be lower, i can do 4.2 at 1.12v which gives me pretty low temps!

Hmm, so it seems. I wonder why CPU-Z is being different? And I was thinking of going down to 4.2GHz just because I like the number 4.2 better than 4.2 (best reasoning for anything ever). What's your max overclock? I can get 4.5 @ 1.3V, with remarkably low temps for 1.3V but I don't really want to have that as a 24/7 OC.

Also put your cache ratio at 42, you should be able to do that without touching any other voltage. Max OC that ive tried was 4.6 at 1.25 and i only ran Cinebench and got 10.05 but as ive only got an H80, i wasnt too happy with the temps so im at a cool 4.2!
