4790k and HWMonitor

[LazyLaz]

So, uhm.. I'd like to ask you guys if this is normal or a bug with HWMonitor (Kindly refer to Attached file). What we're looking at is the 'Clock Speed' section. I'm on 'Balanced' Profile and I've set my 'Minimum Processor State to 50%'. My max Multiplier is x45 on the Bios for all Cores (Downclocked from x47 due to extreme hot temperatures in my area). I just noticed that the 'Minimum' value for the Processor Clock just became 461mhz even though it shouldn't in the First Place. I am kind of worried if there's either something wrong with my System or it's just a HWMonitor thing.

 

Thanks

You have one core running at 3.8GHz and 3 running at 2.2GHz?

Minimum doesn't really matter, It's actually beneficial to have it low as the CPU isn't drawing unnecessary power and causing unnecessary heat.

 

It's not something worth fretting over, so long as the max ratios and voltages are as you set them (thereabouts) there isn't any problem.

If it's on Balanced profile it'll only go up on what processor is currently being used. At the time I pushed the Screenshot button nothing much was being used that's why only 1 core went up and that's how much it'll only need.

 

2.2ghz is my Base Minimum Processor State when it's Idle or not being used much.

What my concern is if there's an underlying problem since most of the time it is on my 'Minimum Processor State' which is 2199mhz, it shouldn't go lower than that since that's what I set it should during Idle.
