Constant Frequency speed

[mbplayah]

I'm wondering how I can make my cpu have the same frequency at all times due to overclocking and such. I have an Asus z87 gryhpon motherboard.

On Haswell, Intel's speedstep technology doesn't seem to affecting overlocking that much. So, back in previous generations over clockers would disables these settings to prevent the CPU from under clocking itself at idle or low usage to lower the power draw. However, this setting doesn't seem to have the same affect on Haswell. However, you may want to look into the UEFI and look for SpeedStep and disable it if your having that issue.

So what do I do?

Go into your BIOS and look around for settings like "SpeedStep" and try disabling that.

Okay, just did it, i've set my frequency to 4ghz, but it's just 3,5 ghz now and sometimes it just spikes up top 4ghz

What CPU are you using and what voltage are you running at

Disable any C states as well.

Googled it and someone said this "Disabling speedstep doesn't do what you want it to do - it locks the CPU at its lowest frequency."

 

I have an i7 4770k at 1,1 volts, just started changing the settings

Disable any C states as well.

Where do I find "C" states?

I've tried everything you've said but it's still at 3,5 ghz for some reason. Any ideas?

Try changing "Minimum processor state" to 100% in your Advanced Power Management Settings in Windows.

Just did a stresstest, so it went fine, thanks for the answers!

C states should be in the same area as Speedstep. According to your other thread, you've figured out where C states are. Is that true?

Yep, and changing them is not going to solve my problem that is described in my other thread about voltages going over what i've set them to?
